VIDEO THREAD: This afternoon, "Stop the Steal" activists led by pro-Trump operative @ali gathered in front of the capitol in Atlanta, Georgia to hold a prayer vigil/rally to advocate President Trump retain the presidency for a second term.
One of the first "Stop the Steal" speakers made a biblical analogy: "Just like I've rejected Saul as king, I've rejected Biden as king, for I'm about to reappoint and re-anoint my David, President Donald J. Trump, to a second term."
"The Democrats have systematically tried to steal this election," said "Stop the Steal" co-founder @MichaelCoudrey. "They want to infringe on our constitutional right to free speech."
"You know what we'll do? We will be louder than ever before. Can I get an 'amen?'"

2019 GOP San Fran Mayoral candidate @Ellen4SFMayor said that "1776 we had 56 people vote the constitution to protect you and me, to protect our life, our family, our country."
"2020 we will not let them go. We will stop the steal," she said, beginning chants of "Stop the steal!"

"Stop the Steal" co-founder @ali says he thinks "the run-off election is important. I do think that these two corporate hacks [Perdue and Loeffler] are the only firewall between us and socialism."
"The Republicans gotta be on notice. This is the last compromise we make, right?"

Pro-Trump activist @ScottPresler invoked scripture "And the Lord said, 'who shall I send?' And I said, 'Here I am Lord, send me."
He did a call-and-response.
Scott: "Will you continue to call your state senators?"
Crowd: "I will!"
Finishing with: "Will you vote?"
"I will!"

"Walk Away" founder @BrandonStraka took an unsympathetic tone to conservatives suggesting sitting out the run-off election in GA.
"This is not the time for us to stand on ceremony and decide that we're going to do a protest that we're not going to vote."

"Stop the steal" activist @ShemekaMichelle said "people are mocking" President Trump right now, which she compared to those mocking Jesus during the crucification.
"People laughed at Jesus, now they're laughing at Trump, and now they're laughing at anyone trying to support him."
"People laughed at Jesus, now they're laughing at Trump, and now they're laughing at anyone trying to support him."
"The Lord told me in 2016 'Two terms for this president,'" said the final speaker.
"It is not over. It is over when a Lion of Judah arrises from his throne, and all his enemies scatter in Jesus' name."
She began a prayer for Trump and against "the giant of socialism."

The "Stop the Steal" rally/vigil in Atlanta, GA ended with the lighting of candles and a prayer for God to provide "two terms Lord, two terms."
"In Jesus' name. Lord God, we are excited to see what you are going to do," she concluded her prayer.
"Amen."

For context and historical posterity, I've put the entirety of the "Stop the Steal" primary organizer's speeches into this video uncut.
I suspect that not only news, but documentaries on the Trump era will focus on this period and require this footage.
