'Election Was The 'Real Insurrection', Donald Trump Announces

Donald Trump Justifies Capitol Riot, Says Election Was The 'Real Insurrection'

The former president is continuing to tell the same kinds of lies that incited the Jan. 6 attack. Donald Trump never gives up!

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday justified the Jan. 6 mob attack on the U.S. Capitol, calling it a legitimate protest against a rigged election.

In a statement, Trump targeted Congress’ bipartisan select committee investigating the attack, which involved a horde of his supporters storming the Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Dozens of police officers were injured in the riot, and several people died.

The committee “should come to the conclusion after spending many millions of dollars, that the real insurrection happened on November 3rd, the Presidential Election, not on January 6th—which was a day of protesting the Fake Election results,” Trump said in his statement.

Trump says overthrow this Biden government. It was a fake election. His supporters are listening.

DOJ do something about Donald Trump's actions attacking this government!

Hopefully our democracy will not collapse while we build the evidence?
