The presidents chief enabler Rudy Giuliani tweeted a lukewarm condemnation of Wednesdays shocking violence and breach of security at the Capitolwhich he had called for earlier that day. The violence at the Capitol was shameful, Trumps lawyer posted Thursday morning before veering off on a tangent about Black Lives Matter protests over the summer. It was as criminal as the rioting and looting this summer which was not condemned strongly enough by the Left, he wrote. This violence is condemned in the strongest terms. Our movement values respect for law and order and for the Police.
Hours before hordes of Trump supportersmany dressed in hide skins and carrying Confederate flagsGiuliani stood on the presidents Save America rally stage in front of the Capitol and called for the very violence that unfolded. If were wrong, we will be made fools of, Giuliani said, omitting the fact that the courts have unanimously ruled that indeed Trumps claims of voter fraud are wrong. But if were right, a lot of them will go to jail. So lets have trial by combat.
