Defiant Trump denounces violence but takes no responsibility for inciting deadly riot

A defiant President Donald Trump insisted Tuesday his speech inciting the riot at the US Capitol was "totally appropriate" while at the same time calling for "no violence" in his first public remarks to reporters after the insurrection last week.

Trump assumed no responsibility for what happened last Wednesday, despite telling his supporters in the hour beforehand to "fight like hell." And he did not specifically decry attempts to find and kill political leaders, including his own vice president.

Instead, speaking at the White House and later at Joint Base Andrews before departing for Texas, Trump suggested attempts by Democrats and tech companies to rein in his dangerous rhetoric could themselves lead to violence.

He falsely said those who'd analyzed his remarks before the deadly insurrection attempt had found no fault in them.

"They've analyzed my speech, my words," he said. "Everybody to a T thought it was appropriate."

It was a characteristically belligerent stance for a President who enters his final week in office under looming threat of a second impeachment. As he has previously, Trump sought to deflect blame on Democrats and equivocated on his own role in fomenting dangerous behavior.

He claimed the "real problem" is what other politicians said about protests over the summer in Seattle and Portland, Oregon.

It was only in an aside that he said: "You always have to avoid violence."

Earlier, as he departed the White House, the President denounced Democrats pursuing his historic second impeachment, seeming to imply they could provoke a violent response.

"This impeachment is causing tremendous anger, and you're doing it and it's really a terrible thing that they're doing," he told reporters on the White House South Lawn. "For Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to continue on this path, I think it's causing tremendous danger to our country, and it's causing tremendous anger. I want no violence."

He similarly said the decisions by Twitter, Facebook and other platforms to suspend his accounts were causing fury among his supporters -- suggesting that could itself cause violence, and not his own language fanning violence among his base.

"It causes a lot of problems and a lot of anger," he said. "There's always a counter-move when they do that."

Trump's remarks on the White House South Lawn were his first in days and his first engagement with reporters in weeks.

He has isolated himself in the White House following riots at the US Capitol that he incited during a rally in the hour beforehand.

Trump was slow to condemn the protests, which he watched on television from the dining room next to the Oval Office. He was convinced by advisers that a forceful denunciation of his own supporters was necessary, both because he was facing removal from office and because he faces potential legal questions about his role in inciting the riots.

Later, Trump appeared to some aides to regret taping a video in which he denounced the violence and conceded he would not be serving a second term in office.

Trump spent the weekend largely in isolation, as aides either distanced themselves from him or limited their time in his presence. Trump canceled a planned trip to Camp David, where his closest aides were hoping he would get into a good mindset ahead of his final stretch in office. Instead, he spent the weekend stewing to his deputy chief of staff, Dan Scavino, and entered his final full week angrier than ever.

Trump did not falsify votes against him, Trump did not put antifa bugs are thugs at rally.

Trump is right. He did not tell them to destroy the capital. On the other hand.....maybe he should of said what the bald one said....oh that was to the BLM thugs,I forgot.

trump was late in getting up to speak and he ended at 1:11pm at the rally

when he ended he said, "peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard,"

it takes about 30 minutes to walk and get to the capitol but with the crowd and the barricades and the weather, more like 45 minutes for Wednesday

then the grannies and grandpas slowly walked to the capitol with their flags and stood around and then decried the assault they saw with the crowd even shouting "no no no" and "no antifa"

so if trump spurred the 30 people or so to attack the capitol they started before he gave the go ahead and they weren't listening to him

what it boils down to is the dimocrats and their billionaires don't want anyone talking about the election fraud

Big win for H I M.

Trump is not responsible for the attack.

From a CNN feed ...seriously?
BTW.. Trump supporters don't show up at a rally in full riot gear.
Thats reserved for the ANtifa, Proud Boys and Obama's klan.
Did you happen to notice the several 100s of thousands of supporters on the mall? No, because CNN wouldn't want you to see that. Whoever broke the law should be held accountable. Had T went on with his schedule of the day, you still would attack him. Fuk Joe and The Fake news.

Just a bunch of ravenous dogs wanting to blame Trump! They've been doing the same thing for over 4 years!

Also on Tucker: of the 12 men arrested by the FBI for entering the capitol ZERO had a Parler account.

Trump Impeached Twice
Most bipartisan Impeachment in US History

WE MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN today

Word on the street is that Trump lost, whined and lied about losing to the extent that his dumbass followers believed that shit and attacked the Capitol building. I know that didn’t happen in the USA. I mean how stupid to folks on the right have to be to fall for that scam. Conservatives would have to be the dumbest folks on the planet. Anyone that believed the election was stolen is just a dumbass. Anyone that believe me there was a possibility the election would get overturned is a truly stupid fool.

AE and NGIT are "RIGHT" - the hypocritical leftist marxists take no responsibility for their Portland, Seattle, minneapolis, LA, Baltimore - and Other Riots they engineered to overthrow the Constitution.


and continue to do their best in their LSM Lying XiN and other propaganda outlets to demonized, marginalize, penalize, and do everything but prosecute those of a Conservative opinion For That Opinion.

Don Lemon and XiNN lead - with Pelosi, Schumer - and the Now Ascendant to Total , complete, and Raw, naked Power in their own foolish view - Plan a complete remaking of america with every wet dream Socialist agenda - and bring in marxism and fascism with the jack boot Anti-FA and OBLM terrorists to use to spread fear and terror in Amerika to control teh populace Totally.

6 more days - and the howling Hyena Pack of teh DPST Party is hypocritically feasting on the dead carcass of a Finished Presidency - planning their Constitutional overthrow - While nazi Pelosi and Schumer bask in the glow of their real accomlishment in life - her little Impeachment march to the Senate for eh first Impeachment - the Hypocrisy of DPST's Knows NO Limits!


Hateful DPST's - born of Ignorance - engendering Fear- and Causing their hatred - of their own Insecurity and fear and knowledge that their marxist platform is a criminal sham dsigned to destroy Amerika for Venezuela style Socialist marist Fascism.

Orwellian Dystopia has been Born - and the cord will be cut to any freedom in Amerika when they pack the SC to ensure absolute, total, and irremoveable POWER!
Then come the Camps for anyone not in tune with the PC DPST cabal - and the Ovens - anround which the DPST's - led by Tlaib/Omar and teh ;squad' - will dance like boys around the fire in 'Lord of teh Flies"



The national Socialist Party of teh 1930's provided them a model for revolution - and it is proceeding according ( they think - a DPST oxymoron) to their plan.




Good Luck with that - marxist/fascist DPST's!
