The depraved, pathological liar the Malignant Loser said yesterday that the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol was a "day of love." Appearing at a town hall on Univision, the sociopathic Malignant Loser downplayed the violent attack on the Capitol, in which over 140 police officers were injured, with two of them dying afterwards. One lie followed another, as NBC News reports:
"Donald Trump on Wednesday shrugged off the idea that his conduct on Jan. 6, 2021, should cost him the backing of Republican voters after a former supporter confronted him at a televised town hall and said he would not cast a ballot for the former president because of his actions that day.
In his response at the Univision event, Trump also distanced himself from the attack on the Capitol while minimizing the damage done by a mob of his supporters.
'Nothing done wrong at all,' Trump said in a lengthy response after a Republican voter from Florida said he had lost his vote because of his responses to the riot and the Covid pandemic. [snip]
He then argued that the thousands of supporters who went to Washington for Jan. 6 were not there because of him, even though he tweeted on Dec. 19, 2020: 'Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild.'
'They didn't come because of me,' Trump said Wednesday. 'They came because of the election. They thought the election was a rigged election, and that's why they came.'
In 2020, and in the years since then, Trump has falsely claimed that the election was stolen. Many of those charged in the Jan. 6 riot have cited his election lies. [snip]
At the town hall, Trump also called Jan. 6, when rioters who delayed the electoral vote count for hours injured over 140 police officers, as "a day of love."
'There were no guns down there. We didn’t have guns. The others had guns, but we didn’t have guns. And when I say we, these are people that walked down — this was a tiny percentage of the overall which nobody sees and nobody, nobody shows. But that was a day of love,' he said." (our emphasis)
As he infamously lies about the 2020 election being stolen, the Malignant Loser wants everyone to disregard what their lying eyes saw, and believe him. He's under Federal indictment for his central role in orchestrating efforts to overturn the 2020 election, from directing the production of fake state electors, to urging State officials to "find" votes for him, to ultimately the MAGA mob action on January 6. He needs to be held accountable for that, and hopefully after the election, he will be.
