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."
Where's Nancy?
The break into Speaker Pelosi's home was inspired by white nationalism and right-wing conspiracy theories promoted by Trump and GOP political leaders.
Threats of political violence have increased tenfold in the five years since Trump’s election. Recently, U.S. law enforcement agencies are warning about the increased threat of domestic terrorism leading up to the midterm elections. It is no surprise that Pelosi's attacker was motivated by the same lies of election fraud and conspiracy theories that inspired the January 6 insurrectionists to target the House Speaker with chants of "Where is Nancy."
