Calls for Ivanka's January 6 texts to be released as Lindsey Graham reveals she was conduit to Trump

Calls have been issued for Ivanka Trump’s texts from January 6, the day of the insurrection, to be released after South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham revealed she was a conduit to then-President Donald Trump.

Texts handed over to the House panel investigating the Capitol riot by former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows before he ceased his cooperation with the committee have revealed that Fox News hosts and Mr Trump’s eldest son Donald Trump Jr texted Mr Meadows on January 6 urging him to get Mr Trump to call off his supporters and tell them to go home.

Mr Graham has said that he didn’t text with Mr Meadows on January 6, but told CNN’s Manu Raju that he spoke with Ivanka Trump and asked her to send a message to her father to “tell his people to leave”.

--snip--

His inner circle still didn’t think this was enough. At 3.15pm, Ms Trump retweeted Mr Trump’s message and added: “American Patriots - any security breach or disrespect to our law enforcement is unacceptable. The violence must stop immediately. Please be peaceful.”

She quickly deleted it after being roundly slammed for addressing the rioters as “patriots”.

before and after. I also recalled he had on a few occasions doing media flip flop (outrage and praise) for TFG after J6.

LG doesn't do speaking the truth, at least not on purpose. Except when he is expressing being "pissed". And then five minutes later, he takes it all back.

just reminding folks who this slimy drunken weasel is .

Because she's the only thing in the world he cares about besides his own rep.
