Trump flunks fact-check after Meet the Press interview goes off the rails: analysis
Raw StoryFormer President Donald Trump "flubbed numbers, misstated facts, or omitted critical context" after boasting that he had "all the facts" to NBC News moderator Kristen Welker during her debut as the new host of Meet the Presson Sunday, according to NBC News correspondent Jane C. Timm's fact-check. The January 6th, 2021 insurrection at the United States Capitol: Trump: "These people on January 6th — some of them never even went into the building, and they're being given sentences of many years." Some of the defendants who received some of the longest sentences of any January 6th participants — including Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes — did not enter the Capitol building themselves but received lengthy sentences after they were convicted of seditious conspiracy. Some of the most vicious assaults of the Capitol attack were committed by January 6th participants who never stepped foot in the building, and some of those individuals received significant sentences, too."
