https://www.npr.org/2024/10/29/nx-s1-51 ... ol-riotThe FBI has classified the 2021 attack as an act of domestic terrorism that injured approximately 140 police officers and endangered the country's peaceful transfer of power. In the immediate aftermath, a bipartisan group of political leaders condemned the violence. "American citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try to stop a specific piece of domestic business they did not like,"
said Sen. Mitch McConnell, the top Republican in the Senate. McConnell voted to acquit Trump of his second impeachment, but said "There is no question — none — that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day."
Trump has rejected those arguments, and instead attempted to rewrite the history of the insurrection. He refers to Jan. 6 as a "day of love" and calls the rioters "patriots." He has repeatedly promised to
pardon those charged and convicted in connection with the attack, including those convicted of assaulting police.
NPR...LOL!!! NPR is a left wing biased taxpayer funded dim-0-crap propaganda factory. McConnell is a goddamn traitor rino!!! Did you even bother to read the entire article by Turley?
Your liberal **** has been debunked, asshole!!!
"Two of the recent reports offered new details related to those questions.
One report
confirmed that Trump did, in fact, offer the deployment of the National Guard in anticipation of the protest. The Jan. 6 Committee repeatedly dismissed this claim. After all, it would be a rather curious attempt at an insurrection if Trump was suggesting the use of thousands of troops to prevent any breach of Congress. The committee specifically found “no evidence” that the Trump administration called for 10,000 National Guard members to be sent to Washington, D.C., to protect the Capitol. The Washington Post even supposedly “debunked” Trump’s comments with an award of “Four Pinocchios.”
Yet evidence now shows that Trump personally suggested the deployment of 10,000 National Guard troops to prevent violence. For example, a transcript includes the testimony of former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato in January 2022 with
Liz Cheney present. Ornato states that he clearly recalled Trump’s offer of 10,000 troops.
Videotapes have also emerged showing Pelosi
privately admitting that she and Democratic leadership were responsible for the security failure on Jan. 6.
