The rally took place outside the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Phoenix, where Rudy Giuliani, Mr Trump’s personal attorney, and Republican lawmakers were meeting. Mr Trump lost the US election to Joe Biden with 232 electoral college votes to the former Vice President’s 306. Despite this, Mr Trump had refused to concede to the Democrat, claiming the election was “rigged” without evidence.
During the “Stop The Steal” rally, a member of the Proud Boys told the crowd to fight back against the result of the election.
He said: “This is the moment that we've got to fight back."
"At the moment, we're free. But the moment they start trying to take our Constitution is the moment the Second Amendment kicks in.
"It's the moment where we've got to start telling them, we're not taking it anymore.”

The Proud Boy member then said the group were not going to “stand back and stand by” after the election result.
He added: ‘“We're standing up and going after you if you come after us.”
The speaker was referencing Mr Trump’s comments on the outfit when asked to condemn white supremacists and hate groups during the first presidential debate.
When asked by moderator Chris Wallace to condemn the Proud Boys, the President said: “Proud Boys – stand back and stand by.
“But I’ll tell you what. I’ll tell you what. Somebody’s got to do something about Antifa and the left because this is not a rightwing problem.”
While the rally took place outside, Mr Giuliani and other Trump campaign lawyers fought to challenge Mr Biden’s Arizona win.
The former New York Mayor issued his latest challenge over alleged voter fraud in the US election, and urged Republican official their “political career is worth losing if you can save the right to vote in America.”
Mr Giuliani claimed without evidence votes had been changed and ballot boxes had been “stuffed” to rig the election in favour of Mr Biden.
In a bizarre moment, he introduced a “witness" who claimed to have "personally debriefed the son of a Cuban intelligence officer who had first-hand knowledge speaking with two of Hugo Chavez’s family members" who said he had a direct connection to voting machines used to alter US election outcomes.

Gavin McInnes, co-founder of Vice Media, started The Proud Boys in 2016, with the FBI classifying them as “an extremist group” just two years later.
Since election night at the start of November, tensions between Trump supporters and Democrats have grown.
Saturday saw around 50 Proud Boys and other pro-Trump supporters march towards Raleigh, North Carolina’s Governors house.
A Proud Boy, named Jeremy Bertino, said at the march: “America will never be a communist nation — never!
"Your side will lose. We will exterminate you like the rats you are…. Exterminate you!"
The Trump campaign has launched 38 legal challenges to states in an effort to overturn the results of the election.
Most of the legal complaints have been dismissed due to a lack of evidence, or settled out of court.
Mr Trump, after Pennsylvania’s highest court threw out an order preventing the state from certifying its election results, has railed against judges dismissing his complaints.
Speaking to Fox News, he said: “We’re not allowed to put in our proof. They say you don’t have standing.”
