It took Donald J. Trump more than three hours after the rioters stormed the Capitol Building — at his urging — to more or less call them off.
The then-POTUS did so while expressing his “love” for them and while extolling that they are “special people.”
Key aides were imploring Trump to call off the rioters on 1/6. He resisted. He didn’t do or say a single damn thing to stave off the rioters. Then came that ghastly “we love you” plea 187 minutes after it began to men and women who had defecated on the floor of the Senate, beaten through windows, injured several Capitol Police officers.
They were chanting their desire to “Hang Mike Pence!” and went looking for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi by yelling “Nancy … where are you?”
Unbelievable. Un-bleeping-believable!
But it happened. We know it now through some extraordinary reporting by the Washington Post.
To think there remains a segment of our nation’s citizenry who buy into the crap peddled by the former Liar in Chief.
God help us.
