“peacefully”
He’s lying,..again.
Some of the last words he said before the insurrection were “we have to fight like hell” and “if you don’t fight like hell you’re not going to have a country”.
He meant PEACEFUL fighting! /s
Yeah, peaceful removal of metal detectors!
“They’re not here to hurt me. Let them in. Let my people in,” Trump said, according to Hutchinson. “They can march to the Capitol after the rally is over.”
Also: "I don't effing care that they have weapons. They're not here to hurt me."
As he tried to pressure the secret service to violate their duties and remove metal detectors from the mall that morning.
Trump knew Proud Boys (bitches) and Oath Keepers (breakers) stashed weapons nearby.
“I’m not an Insurrectionist,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, specifically pointing to his comments on Jan. 6 in which he encouraged supporters to march to the Capitol “peacefully and patriotically.”
And then, when they rioted and broke into the Capitol, like you knew they would, you did nothing to stop them. You could have called in the National Guard. Instead, you told them you loved them. You loved them because they did your bidding.
Not only does his inaction speak volumes, he also tweeted out about Pence "not having courage" and got on the phone to call Senators while the Capitol was being invaded to get them to halt the electoral vote count.
Read the Colorado ruling, it's worth it.
One of the people in the White House wrote that he was transfixed by the tv coverage, refused to do anything to interrupt their momentum, and was angry they weren't more aggressive (and also very annoyed that they weren't better dressed / more classy).
hmmm. Sounds like something an insurrectionist would say.
Sounds like something an insurrectionist ~~would~~ did say.
Fixed that for you.
Manson: "I've never killed anyone"
Nixon: "I am not a crook"
I guess he wants us to get it right and say it was a failed coup.
Insurrection: The act or an instance of revolting especially violently against civil or political authority or against an established government.
Coup: A sudden decisive exercise of force in politics and especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group.
It was a violent revolt against political authority. Specifically, congress.
It was an coup attempt via insurrection.
Umm... It was also a coup attempt by him cold calling his Rolodex and demanding they break laws against the federal election process.
Sure, but we're specifically talking about January 6th here.
Trump also claimed Biden is an insurrectionist and a threat to democracy, continuing a pattern in which the former president accuses his opponents and critics of the same thing he is accused of doing.
Curse you, Biden, and you're insurrection via... an infrastructure bill and forgiving some student loans?
"Well... we did do the hat... and the nose..."
Did he put his hands up with two peace signs when he said it?
This was exactly what I pictured. 😂
Trump also claimed Biden is an insurrectionist and a threat to democracy
It'd be funny if his supporters didn't take this nonsense seriously.
2016:
Clinton: Trump is a Russian agent.
Trump: NO U
2023:
Biden: Trump is an insurrectionist.
Trump: NO U
Truly nothing says wrongfully accused like the "I know you are but what am I?" defense 🙄
Trump is an insurrectionist and everyone who supports him is a traitor
The fact that the supreme court didnt immediately say the president doesn't have immunity for attempting to dismantle our government system is tip toeing treason. Seems clear that insurrection is performed by an enemy of the state. How would delaying such a ruling not be considered giving aid or comfort?
He's an insurrectionist and he stinks like shit. Most important part is to remember how bad he smells though because this shit he's saying now is clearly just to distract from the shit in his pants.
'Diaper Don': Internet celebrates 'Trump smells' trending on social media
If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck then it must be a duck.
He's a sore loser. The very bigliest of losers!
He is the best loser ☝️ There is nobody that lose as YUUUUUUGELY as he can 👌
So peaceful that one person was shot and killed, 138 police officers suffered various injuries, and 4 others committed suicide in subsequent months. And that’s not even all of it…
Ol' Donald "I'm not an insurrectionist, you are" Trump
And on the 6th day, he insurrected.
Insurrected sounds like a penis pill
[And immediately proceeds to tell one of his InSIRrection stories 🫡]
I'll take things insurrectionist's say for $2000.
