"There were no guns whatsoever." -- Trump to Fox News on 7/11/21

"I don't f***ing care that they have weapons. They're not here to hurt me...Take the f***ing mag[netometer]s away...Let my people in, they can march to the Capitol from here."

During an on-air conversation with Trump on July 11, "Sunday Morning Futures" host Maria Bartiromo twice broached the topic of whether guns were present during the attack at the Capitol.

"They called it an armed insurrection, and yet no guns were seized," Bartiromo said before describing it as being among the "misinformation" spread about Trump’s presidency.

Later, she repeated the assertion: "They continue to call this an armed insurrection," Bartiromo said. "And yet no guns were seized, Mr. President."

"Right," Trump answered. "There were no guns whatsoever."

The Mags caught quite a few people with weapons. They had to surrender them to get into the secure area. Most would not surrender their weapons so couldn't get into that area.
