Shameful, Criminal, Violent
Donald Trump finally admits that January 6 was an insurrection, but tries to blame Nancy Pelosi.
For two hours the Supreme Court ignored the central issue that the Colorado Courts determined that Donald Trump was disqualified for holding public office for inciting an insurrection. When Trump's attorney was finally asked if January 6 was an insurrection he admitted that, “the events were shameful, criminal, violent," but refused to call it an insurrection. Trump, who previously called January 6 a "beautiful day", strangely contradicted his attorney immediately after the hearing when he told the press “I think it was an insurrection caused by Nancy Pelosi." For the record, Trump told his rallied supporters to "fight like hell" just before they stormed the Capitol chanting "Hang Mike Pence."
