A Big Fox News/Trump Lie Just Got Wiped Out By The 1/6 Committee


Fox News and some Republicans have been saying that Trump ordered National Guard troops to the Capitol, but the 1/6 Committee has released testimony saying that Trump never gave a National Guard order.

The story from Mark Meadows that Sean Hannity and others have often repeated on Fox News is that Trump ordered 10,000 National Guard troops to be ready to go to the Capitol, but Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi rejected the troops.

Trump made the same claim numerous times in 2021.

No matter how often the lie has been debunked, it still continued to be pushed on Fox News and other conservative media.

On Tuesday, the 1/6 Committee released testimony from Trump’s acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller stating that there no such order or plan for National Guard troops at the Capitol:

To remove any doubt: Not only did Donald Trump fail to contact his Secretary of Defense on January 6th (as shown in our hearing), Trump also failed to give any order prior to January 6 to deploy the military to protect the Capitol.

Miller said, “There was no direct, there was no order from the President. We obviously had plans for activating more folks, but that was not anything more than contingency planning. There was no official message traffic or anything of that nature.”

Miller’s testimony brings up an interesting question. If the Department of Defense was planning, why didn’t anyone in Trump’s White House pass that message along so they could be deployed?

The Defense Department was waiting for a call from Trump that never came.

The are many Big Lies surrounding Trump and 1/6, but one of the biggest has been that Trump tried to act but was stopped by Nancy Pelosi.

That lie has been put to rest six feet under by the 1/6 Committee.

1. "You are fake news". "He has alternative facts". "Russia's a ruse". Endless lies eventually end?

2. NICE

3. No, the lie clearly it hasn't been wiped out.

I guarantee the vast majority of trump humpers have not heard this rebuttal and the few that have will stick with the lie.

4. Given that Hair Twitler incited the mob, sent them to the Capiol, and watched the assault for hours

It's ludicrous to think arranged for troops to battle the mob he hoped would make his coup succeed.

5. Trump and Meadows lied?

I'm shocked I tell ya, just shocked.

6. multiply the fox blockheads and blonde perms by 1500 coordinated radio stations and there's the real

picture and why we got here in the first place. another of many lies that can only be sold with the unchallenged repetition that only rw radio can do

we are in this shit because the analysts continue to ignore the biggest factor in all this

how many states with 2 senators are dominated by RW radio? most

7. On 07 June 2022 Kash Patel and Chris Miller said...

…to Hannity that Trump had 10-20 thousand troops ready to go.

Seven months before, on 09 December 2021, they told the January 6 committee the opposite. Miller also said Pence never ordered the Capitol to be cleared which we now know he did.

Miller did jack-shit about that because, he said, Pence was not in the Chain of Command.

Miller and Patel (and Hannity) are lying seditionists and should be in PRISON!
