🌟 [ 63 ]   Trump praises US capitol rioters hugging and kissing police [ @CNN ]

Former President Donald Trump attempted to whitewash the history of the January 6 Capitol riot by pushing the false suggestion that his supporters were hugging and kissing police officers and posed zero threat despite widespread violence, injuries to law enforcement officers and five deaths. It s an outrageous attempt by Trump to rewrite the history of the insurrection, which he stoked by repeatedly and falsely claiming the 2020 election was stolen from him. There is no evidence of widespread fraud, but Trump and many of his conservative allies in the media and on Capitol Hill have continued to push the big lie regardless. Calling into Fox News, Trump was asked if he was concerned about the US Capitol s beefed up security, including razor-wire fencing, which he derided as disgraceful and a political maneuver. It was zero threat, right from the start, it was zero threat. Look, they went in, they shouldn t have done it. Some of them went in, and they are hugging and kissing the police and the guards, you know, they had great relationships, Trump told Fox News Laura Ingraham. A lot of the people were waved in, and then they walked in and they walked out. Trump s latest whitewash attempt comes after the world has been presented with reams of video evidence of the violence that broke out on January 6, criminal charges filed against participants, law enforcement officials testimony, police officers accounts of the violence, and lawmakers descriptions of the fear they experienced that day. Trump appeared to suggest that some of the rioters should face repercussions, but quickly pivoted to attacking the leftist movement Antifa, a familiar target of his that he has often cited to draw a false equivalency in downplaying crimes committed in his name. #CNN #News
