Former President Donald Trump on Thursday defended some of his supporters who rioted at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, saying they posed zero threat to the lawmakers who had assembled there to certify the Electoral College vote that confirmed Joe Bidens victory in the presidential race.
Trump complained to Fox News Channels Laura Ingraham that law enforcement was persecuting the Capitol rioters, while nothing happens to left-wing protesters.
Trump did acknowledge that those who stormed the Capitol went in and they shouldnt have done it.
But he added: Some of them went in and theyre, theyre hugging and kissing the police and the guards. You know, they had great relationships. A lot of the people were waved in and then they walked in and they walked out.

Its why they voted for him in 2020 -- many of them, of course, sat out in 2016 because they werent sure he was their man, but they eagerly went to the polls in 2020 because his 4 years of lying, racist, anti-democracy, authoritarian administration was just what they wanted.

The cops were not being beaten with flagpoles or gassed with bear spray or were victims of numerous other violent acts. They were hugged and kissed.
The Big Lie is being re-born.
The Republican Party has officially become the Insurrectionist Party. They are being "persecuted" for their violent behavior. They are not un-American. They are not unpatriotic. They love this country.
It is irrelevant that their actions belie their words.

(2,017 posts)I'm still trying to figure out when thousands of "left-wing protesters" stormed the United States Capitol Building at the direction of a Democrat Presidential Candidate because he didn't win the election..... anybody remember when that happened?
And it seems like he is admitting complicity of some capitol police and house members to. This could also be used in an indictment against him. He sure seems like one of the dumbest people on earth some times.

(5,815 posts)He claimed he was going with them but, of course, that was a lie. He didnt go and never intended to go. So was he there with them to see with his own peepers what went on? Not on your life. As he often does, he set in motion a group of angry people and then ran and hid while they did the dirty work. He never gets involved directly. He duped others to do what he wanted done.
So again.....how the hell does he know what they did? Oh, wait. Theres video. That tells a different narrative, tRump. So theres that.

(5,815 posts)he had authority to do so....but lacked the balls to offer it.
Second, he has been late to the party offering any kind of plausible explanation or excuses. He has kinda left them twisting in the wind. But are they really surprised? This is his standard operating procedure. Dupe someone else to do the job, disappear and watch them get convicted and serve time. Michael Cohen can tell us everything we need to know about that strategy.
So yea. This is just too little, too late. That, too, is pretty standard for that skunk. 🦨🦨🦨 No offense to skunks. Pepe LePew, forgive me.

(111,111 posts)....but it isn't that bad, in his mind.
It is no coincidence that this is the first time he has stuck his nose out on this issue. He knows he's guilty of inciting that crowd to attack the Capitol, just as he knows he is guilty of inviting those "types" to our Capitol.
Now, he wants to minimize it.
He should be indicted. Whether or not he will be, is all political.

(2,699 posts)how did he answer the ever astute journalist when she asked him what he thought was meant by the crowds shouting of Hang Mike Pence? What did he say when she asked him about the murder of Officer Sicknick? The feces on the walls? The trashing of congressional offices? The chasing of Officer Goodman? The attempt to crush Officer Hodges in a metal door frame? The torture-beating of Officer Fanone while the mob took his radio, badge, and gun shouting Kill him! Kill him with his own gun?
I know Laura Ingraham was shocked and horrified by those things, right? I mean, these were cops the mob wanted to kill -- and successfully murdered in one instance, coming very close in the other two. Surely she cornered Trump with those questions which show, beyond doubt, the tenor of that ugly mob of traitors.
Surely. Right?
