Trump lies about Capitol riot by claiming his supporters were 'hugging and kissing' cops

https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/26/politics/donald-trump-january-6-rioters-arrests/index.html

Calling into Fox News on Thursday night, Trump was asked if he was concerned about the US Capitol's beefed up security, including razor-wire fencing, which he derided as "disgraceful" and a "political maneuver."

"It was zero threat, right from the start, it was zero threat. Look, they went in, they shouldn't have done it. Some of them went in, and they are hugging and kissing the police and the guards, you know, they had great relationships," Trump told Fox News' Laura Ingraham. "A lot of the people were waved in, and then they walked in and they walked out."

Another lost three fingers, another had a heart attack, and one died of his injuries.

I mean I know when Trump is hugging and kissing he doesn't take no for an answer, but 140 injured cops is a bit much.

I haven't missed Trump's rhetorical nonsense

Because I saw a lot of hate, swearing, anger, destruction and aggressive behavior towards the capitol police.

Is this a sign that MF45 is mentally ill and having maniac delusions?

Did the cop getting crushed in the door supposedly want that, where 'no' means 'yes' to Trump?

any woman he wants, consent or no. Especially given how many of his victims describe something much worse than hugs and kisses.
