Your denial is noted. Cry Baby Loser incited his goons by his Big Lie. (He still refuses to face the truth.) After he incited them and directed them to the Capitol, he skulked back to the White House and watched their violent assault upon Congress on tv.Ghost of a Rider said:But anyway, the fact remains that Trump never said anything to incite the riot or the attack on the Capital building.
House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy and former President Donald Trump got into an expletive-laden argument on a phone call as the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was still unfolding, three sources briefed on the matter told NBC News on Friday.
As throngs of pro-Trump supporters stormed the Capitol during the certification of Joe Biden's Electoral College win, which resulted in the death of five people, McCathry phoned Trump to get him to control his supporters.
Sources described the call as “not cordial” and borderline incoherent, but it illustrates more than what was publicly available at the time about Trump's real-time reaction to the mob. He is currently in the middle of his second impeachment trial on a charge of inciting the riot.
McCarthy placed the call to Trump, according to a source familiar with the matter. Another source told NBC News that McCarthy was shaken up during the call and was asking the president for help.
Trump told McCarthy on the call, “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are," according to Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Wash., and another Republican member familiar with the conversation.
“The president bears responsibility for Wednesday’s attack on Congress by mob rioters.
He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding.”
HOUSE REPUBLICAN MINORITY LEADER KEVIN McCARTHY
"The mob was fed lies... They were provoked by the president and other powerful people."
SENATE REPUBLICAN MINORITY LEADER MITCH McCONNELL
"There's no question the president formed the mob, the president incited the mob,
the president addressed the mob. He lit the flame."
CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN CONGRESSWOMAN LIZ CHENEY
"This is what the president has caused today... This is insurrection."
SENATE REPUBLICAN MITT ROMNEY
