In First Public Appearance Since Insurrection, Trump Shirks All Responsibility

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING In his first public appearance since he incited a seditious mob that violently and illegally attempted to seize power from a coequal branch of government and overturn the results of a free and fair election, President Donald Trump showed no remorse and instead expressed dismay that he’s facing impeachment over it. pic.twitter.com/90Pdt8xFSz — CSPAN January 12, 2021 Trump, who took the stage last week after his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani called for “trial by combat,” said “fight” or “fighting” at least 20 times in that speech. Reuters photojournalist Jim Bourg, who was at the Capitol that day, said he heard “at least 3 different rioters at the Capitol say they hoped to find Vice President Mike Pence and execute him.” Five died as a result of the mob, including U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher. Seeking to distance himself from responsibility, Trump repeatedly told reporters Tuesday that he “wanted no violence.” However, pro-Trump extremists are plotting violence across the country ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration.
