Stop the misinformation from spreading. Trump was NOT in the Beast

Today's testimony makes clear that Trump wanted to go to the Capitol with the armed mob, despite warnings not to do so from his advisors.

When the Secret Service ruled out the possibility, the former President erupted in anger in the Suburban he was riding in.

2. I hate when a new "insider" buzzword or phrase hits

And everyone starts using it casually, like in this case we’re all acting like we ever called his car “The Beast” lol. It’s just so annoying!

The fact it wasn’t been actually the vehicle commonly called “The Beast” by insiders only makes it worse

4. She is the one who testified he got into the Beast.

Specifically using that phrase. The Beast.

I’m not trying to discredit her, but the confusion stems from her testimony.

5. I believe it may be called the SUV Beast, but it's not the *normal* limo.

It's clear from the video it was the Suburban.


Beast


Suburban from Jan 6th



Just expect to see the right saying it's all a lie because he couldn't have reached the front seat from the limo. They're already doing it in spite of the video.

6. It wasn't clear from the testimony. She never called it

the SUV Beast. She called it the Beast. Unequivocally.

I used the same graphic in one of my posts. After expressly stating that I believed her. I am not “the right.” I am not trying to discredit her, and I resent you saying I am. Others may be. I am not. Put away the broad brush.

Again, any confusion is based on her testimony.

The media is not being accurate, and that bothers me, but it's not surprising. As far as I'm concerned the video is the only thing needed, everything else is noise.


Also, the attack in the Suburban and the throwing food are not the important things we heard today. Trump knowing his cult was armed and sending them to the Capitol and him wanting Pence to hang are much more damaging. I would not have given the throwing food and tussling with the SS the time they did....certainly not today.


This is what always happens..... The media spends their time focusing on the peripherals and loses sight of the important stuff.
