Why did Donald Trump lie to his supporters at the insurrection pep rally?

[Sandy Shanks]

The Republican Party has captured the minds of those who live in the rural counties of America. Those voters are mostly farmers and rural shopkeepers. They lack education and they are not well-informed. Most of what they know about politics is by word of mouth.

For reasons they are unaware of and cannot explain, Donald Trump is their savior, thus explaining why they believe everything Trump says.

Politico reports, "The Jan. 6 select committee made its most forceful case Thursday that Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election was more than an affront to the democratic process — it was a crime.

"For all the panel’s public quibbling over whether to vote on referring Trump to the Justice Department for a possible criminal case, members did it their own way. They used Thursday’s public hearing to present what they see as some of their most compelling evidence and thereby mount a case, with Attorney General Merrick Garland watching, that Trump broke the law in his effort to make former Vice President Mike Pence single-handedly overturn the election.

The Times reports, "A day after the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault illustrated the serious danger that rioters posed to Mike Pence, former President Donald J. Trump unleashed a new attack on the man who had served him as vice president, criticizing him for refusing to interfere with the Electoral College certification of the 2020 presidential contest.

"Speaking on Friday afternoon before a faith-based group [?!?], Mr. Trump said that “Mike did not have the courage to act” in trying to unilaterally reject the Electoral College votes that were being cast for Joseph R. Biden Jr."

Mostly, Republicans are saying nothing. When one or two speak up to defend Trump, they all use the same strategy. They say everyone is lying and that a Congressional hearing is a kangaroo court. They do not deal with the actual evidence because they have no idea what it is.

Consequently, Trump's gullible, uninformed followers do not know that those testifying are Republicans and many were a part of the Trump White House.

The witnesses include Trump's vice-president, Pence's chief of staff, Pence's counsel, Trump's attorney general, White House counsel, his daughter, Ivanka, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, along with several others.

Trump's followers expect to win control of Congress in November.

The OP wasn't worth the time to respond. It's stupid.

Instead, I addressed the fact that, quite obviously, brain-dead libs have an almost clinical obsession with Donald Trump...

Ok so to summarize our enlightened exchange. You called out TDS. I said it was an evasive post. You took issue with that because the OP wasn’t worth responding to so instead of responding to it you evaded the topic to call out the TDS. But you weren’t evading. Got it! You are some kind of genius!!

Oh Trump severely bitch slapped Democrats. They hate his guts no matter how awesome of a president he was.

Yeah, Trump bitch slapped the Dems so hard he lost control of both congressional houses and the White House in 4 short years…. That’s quite the bitch slap. Handing the Dems all that power. I bet they are pissed!!!

We are well aware of cheating Dem 'ballot harvesting'.

Obama got us out of the recession caused by subprime mortgage meltdown. Ordered capture of Osama bin Ladin, and did something about healthcare, ACA, which is better than nothing.

Riiiiight. Whenever y’all lose from now on it will be rigged deep state cheating. Could y’all be any more childish?

okay by doing what specifically?

Trump hss been lying about a "stolen election" from the day he realized he got his ass beat.

He's a whiny lttle shitbag not man enough to admit he lost.

Maybe, or perhaps it's just that Trump didn't understand the American voter. He gave us too much credit. In his mind he probably thought how could people be stupid enough to elect guy who promised us what we are seeing today, $5.00 a gallon of gasoline, a guy that stated he would take steps to make it damn near impossible to buy a gun, a guy that promised to destroy once nice and safe suburbs, a guy that spent nearly a half-century in federal government and never accomplished anything of notoriety, a guy who was running while his son was under an FBI investigation that he himself was involved in, a guy who made the most racist comments about blacks in our lifetime. It's amazing one American could be stupid enough to vote for that yet alone a record majority.

Now Trump knows and he'll remember that in 2024.

Trumps spending wasn't realized as inflation until the economy started flowing again. These things don’t happen over night. You don’t inject trillions into an economy and not expect inflation… unless you’re an idiot

And you are just in denial. Typical leftist:

Under DumBama the economy had the slowest recovery of any other since WWII. The economy didn't grow because of him, it grew in spite of him. He was the most anti-business President of our time.

Then Trump took power and made Obama look like a fool.

1. There was no insurrection pep rally.
2. Trump didn't lie to his supporters.
3. Considering the state of this country now with $5.00 basic gasoline, empty shelves, starving babies, wide open flooded borders, rampant crime swelling in every city, chaos in our schools, debauchery now common in our society, hyperinflation, recession and an befuddled, incompetent, clueless treasonous president who is putting others ahead of his own country, I suggest you ought to prioritize on what matters most now.

Screw with the false premises you

mess up the punchline.

Trump knew a couple months before the election that he had a good chance of getting his ass beat, so spare me the bullshit about Trump not understanding voter's.

You idiots who still defend that dirtbag must really hate this Country. Now go on another one of your raaaaants about how much you just loooooove Amerca, fool. You love it as long as your boy is running the show.

On the morning of January 6th Donald was calling Pence a wimp and a vaggy. Later that afternoon Donald was telling the prep rally that Pence was a great guy. Why was Donald lying?

Also, Donald clearly and unquestionably knew that the Vice President wasn't going to do what Donald wanted him to do, so why did Donald pretend that it might happen?

Was Donald performing? Was he saying the publicly acceptable thing? Or was he really and actually hoping the mob would put pressure on Mike Pence?

Donald Trump called Mike Pence 'the P-word', 'wimp' in 'heated' January 6 call

Did avenatti pay you back

So no counter argument? Just an empty partisan insult? Come on Ray, you can do better than that!

 

[Leweman]

So you are saying the media wont be investigated?
