Less Than Half Think Trump Responsible for Capitol Riot

“Just 45% of Americans say Donald Trump is ‘solely’ or ‘mainly’ responsible for the rioters who overtook the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack, versus a combined 55% who say the former president is only somewhat responsible or not really responsible,” according to a new NBC News poll.

T”hat’s a shift from the Jan. 2021 NBC poll — taken days after the attack — when 52% said Trump was either solely or mainly responsible, compared with 47% who disagreed.”

IF TRUMP RUNS, HE WILL LOSE. Donald Trump is a Killer!

If he runs, our ads will show exactly that.

I see Roe about to be overturned, books being banned, voting rights eroded, Qanon ascendant, fascism being openly embraced, non-stop gun massacres, environmental protections being scoffed at and so on and so forth.

Idiots definitely rule this country.

The President does not rule the country, the party doesn’t either.

And aside from the J6 committee, Democratic Party leaders appear to have just let a little insurrection and subversion of our democratic processes slide.

If ‘our side’ did anything remotely like this there would have been public executions within days.

and I'm not sure why. They already have their narratives set: people have moved on; people have made up their minds and they won't be changed'; people are more concerned about X or Y.

It's infuriating.

It's important to know the source because I know of no one who does not blame Trump for J6 and I know a lot of people in both parties.
