Lawmakers Warn 'Totally Appropriate' Comment Proves Trump Willing to Foment Violence Again

President Donald Trump on Monday rejected personal responsibility for his comments widely seen as inciting the violent January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The speech he made to the extremist crowd "has been analyzed," Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews, and "people thought that what I said was totally appropriate."

Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) responded by calling Trump a "menace."

"These remarks make it clear that he has no problem endangering others or inciting insurrection, and would be willing to do it again," tweeted Beyer.

Another call to arms, but we need to make nice and unify. Mhmm.

Impeachment is taking too long and unless there is a conviction in the Senate it is pointless. The memory of too many Americans is far too short, and last week's events are already fading.

Plus the R's want to "censure" him? Censures ought to never be an option for anyone.
