With only hours left before the House of Representatives’ first hearing on Jan. 6, former President Donald Trump now claims that the violent attack on the Capitol by his supporters was “not just a protest” but in fact the greatest movement ”in US history.
Mr Trump made an incendiary statement praising the rebels who looted the Capitol in hopes of keeping him in the White House for a second term on Thursday. He appeared on his own platform, Truth Social, which he started posting earlier this year because he was banned from Twitter and most major social media sites.
The former president, who has been twice impeached, also complained that the House of Representatives election commission “did not spend a minute studying the reason why people went to Washington in large numbers”, despite his claim. is incorrect, as a group of investigators from the commission has been examining the connection between the lies he began to tell about the conduct of the 2020 elections and the riots that took place on January 6, 2021.
Mr Trump also issued statements in which he made a series of baseless complaints about past investigations into his behavior by Democrats and the Justice Department. In one, he complained that the elected commission “refuses to investigate and report on the vast amount of irrefutable evidence, much of it presented recently, which shows that the 2020 presidential election was rigged and stolen.”
While it is true that the committee selected did not examine such evidence, it is because the evidence does not exist. Mr Trump’s own administration has repeatedly stressed that the 2020 election is the safest in American history, but the defeated former president continues to lie about it, insisting he was unfairly robbed for a second term.
Late Thursday, after the commission’s hearing ended on January 6, Mr Trump issued a new statement calling the commission members “HACKS”.
So, the Political Hacks Committee refuses to play any of the many positive witnesses and statements, refuses to talk about election fraud and irregularities on a huge scale, and decides to use a Fake News ABC documentary to spin only negative shots. Our country is in such trouble! “
