Former president Donald Trump He said on Wednesday, January 6, 2021 – on the day when his supporters occupied Congress In a failed uprising, try to prevent legislators from certifying Joe BidenThe victory in the election was “Day of Love.”
Trump applied for concern during television elections Town Hall organized Univision.
Ramiro Gonzalez, a construction worker from Tampa, told the meeting that he was re-registered as a Republican, because he found the “inaction” of Trump during January 6, and the pandemic of Covid-19 “worries”. He asked Trump to plant his conflicting behavior during an attack on the US Capitol, and the fact that many of his own former administration officials no longer support him, why he should be re-elected.
Trump began by claiming “97 percent” of people from his previous administration, still supporting him, admitting that senior officials, as his own former vice -president, Mike Pence, said that they would no longer vote for him.
Then he began a typically incoherent answer to turn to January 6, when he is sadly known to the rally of his followers in Washington, the County of Colombia, that “if you do not fight, like in hell, you will no longer have a country” before encouraging them to go through the capitol, as Congress confirmed the vote in 2020.
“It is very important that you had hundreds of thousands of people in Washington,” Trump said, about the rally that Assessed 53,000 people were present. “They did not come from me, they came from the elections. They thought that the elections were falsified elections, and therefore they came. ”
Trump continued to suggest that his supporters, who Called millions From the damage in the dollars was peaceful: “There were no weapons. We did not have weapons, others had weapons, but we did not have weapons. ”
He then announced the day when the Capitol police announced that the police had deadly attacked the police, and one protester was mortally shot dead, and followed at the expense of a number of other deaths.
“When I say:“ we ”are people who went down, it was a tiny percentage in general, which no one sees, and no one shows, but it was a day of love from the point of view of millions – it is like hundreds of thousands, it could be the largest group with which I once spoke earlier,” he added, again exaggerating the size of the crowd.
Then Trump boasted that the Democrats “could not get me out of the fact that I said:” Everything should be peaceful and patriotic. “
Trump meant the moment, at 12:16, when he said to the rally on January 6: “I know that everyone here will soon go to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically force your voices to hear.”
Proof presented On the panel of the house in 2022, she showed that after he left the event, Trump returned to the White House and watched the strong riots turn around on television, not doing anything to stop them for hours.
