Watch MAGA Aide Fact-Checked With Trump's Own Violent Words On Live TV | The Beat With Ari Melber
If Trump didn’t think there would be any violence, why did he go back and hide in the White House instead of joining the crowd like he said he would?
Yes yes yes! The truth! Thank you. 👍🇬🇧.
@Andy Randall Trump didn’t go with his domestic terrorists because true to form he’s a coward. 🇬🇧.
The word coward means Donald Trump to true patriots.
@SouthSide_ Chicago79 i bet you dont wear a trump hat outside in the southside of chicago lol😂
@Ralph Padilla jolly well said! 👍🇬🇧.
Republicans have forgotten the faces of their fathers.
@AL- BOT No she’s right
@Illunworth you have been mislead.
@AL- BOT about what
Does a test tube have a face?
@Fuc Yu 🤭
This guy is a tool
Definately.
Yep, a plunger ‼️
No tools are useful, this guy is garbage 🛑🤬🐂💩
Well yeah, he’s a Trump supporter, goes with the territory.
The words cited are often being used as legal defenses of those who sieged our capital. Their own legal defense has been, “we went because the President told us to”.
Trump has a clear pattern of behavior and rhetoric. His base chose to act on his words, on a day he invited and directed them.
Lots of idiots think God told them to do things too but it doesn’t hold up in court
These people lie for a living. Why even bother bringing them on this show.
To blow apart the republicans side of saying ” it is the liberal-left wing media” by being “fair, and balanced” meaning welcome both sides to put their 2 cents in. Be it real 2 pennies, or 2 worthless slugs.
Trump placed the unqualified acting Secretary of Defense 24 or 48 hours prior to the insurrection.
it does seem to be kind of pointless, can show a short clip of anything possibly taken out of context to “prove” some point. So they argue back and forth for nothing
I am glad they are showing them because we have to know what kind of people we have to deal with
It helps to expose them as they are, live and unedited, avoiding questions and talking nonsense. Cheers
How many times has Eric rewound that video of Donald saying “We love you. You’re very special.”
Hugging the tv I love u 2 daddy
lol
😂😂😂😂
Made me want to vomit
So some of them wore riot gear for a fashion statement I guess.
@clean blacc sneakas …. Yup , they were paying homage to the Village People and Dances With Wolves …. and lots of really kewl neckbeards !!!
Normal attire
Is he kidding he spoke of all this on his campaign trail
exactly why republicans voted for him lol
“Go home n peace” was after the riot!
Exactly!- he was telling them AFTER the riots at the Capitol, in a taped video clearly saying,”We love you, you are special…”
To be accurate, he said “Go home, we(he means I ) love you, you are very special….” How sick is that? And yet Republikkkans turn their heads away. This will be judged by the historians forever in the history book like Hitler. I am sure Hitler had same followings for a while until the after the war.
@Anil Achar (45) thought he would b able to pardon them, it backfired & now they’re all going to do time for (45) who really didn’t care about them!
That DOUSE NOZZLE was watching the beginning of the RIOT on a TV and just SOAKING IT UP 😡😡😡
Remember, the Capitol Police officer was BLUDGEONED at the beginning of the RIOT in the front door and he watched it happen and did NOTHING
After the FAC
Let’s put it this way, if Trump had not made any speech on January 6th, there would have been no insurrection.
You nailed it. Well said!
Lawyers call it “but for ” causation . exactly right.
And that’s a fact!
He gives “lawyers” a bad name.😂😅
That feels kind of like an oxymoron
and does his best to never pay them if possible
So that’s why they call them criminal lawyers.
Trump’s lawyers are criminal lawyers.
“Stand back and stand by” let us not forget how long he has incited this insurrection.
@Fezz Parka loser
@BidenCheatedAndBrokeHisAnkle 123 So you’re saying he’s 0% responsible for the whole thing? He lied about an election for months which slowly but surely fueled his crowd and on January 6th, everything played out in front of our eyes. THINK about it. Who else would be responsible for inciting this attempted coup other than Trump and his allies?
@BidenCheatedAndBrokeHisAnkle 123
Trump won’t run in 2024. He doesn’t want to be America’s 2nd choice for president for a 3rd time.
Sick of STUPIDITY BUT LIFE BETTER SINCE BUMP LEFT.
There’s the premeditation… t * * * * guilty as charged
*Trump sent mixed messages!* He mixed $#!t into the cake and says he served a cake.
This is NOT a political process though, it’s purely a constitutional duty.
Actually, Impeachment and Senate trial is defined as a political process the Supreme court has stated such multiple times; each time referring to why they have no jurisdiction in the matter. It is a constitutionally defined procedure but a political process of the legislative breach, not a judicial process by the judicial branch
Donny didn’t “condemn” the violence and the attack of the capitol on Jan. 6th. And he waited hours to make any statement, let alone approve to send in the National Guard.
When Native Americans of old stated
” white man speaks with forked tongue ” all those years ago…..
Maintaining a constant present tense state
I ate rattlesnake once, it was way better than chicken. 🐍🐓
👏👏👏👍 exactly
True, lol.
And orange man speaks with forked tongue. LOL 😂
“spoken largely in jest”… because jesting about serious topics is what a president should do.
Where would the world be without those jests by Trump?
Remember when the sycophants tried to rewrite the script of ‘would’ to ‘wouldn’t.’
It was always he did not mean that; he was kidding; he was misunderstood; he was being funny; he was not serious. Endless excuses for a dude the cultists themselves called ‘tells like it is.’
@Waryaa Wariiri 😏 Yep… Good recall/Point. 😷
@Carol Mazibuko 🤔😉💙😷
Officer Brian D. Sicknick’s widow is probably laughing hysterically.
Why do they even bring this guy on the show, When he’s just going to keep spewing Nonsense..
What a Kook🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
This is a good reminder for some people
It’s easy to forget how looney everything was the last 5 years
Ari’s point has EVERYTHING to do with the clips in the montage: maga trumpers have LONG witnessed trump incite violence…Jan 6th wasnt the first time. And trump’s instruction to “go home” was too little TOO LATE and only done under duress anyway. Trump will get off cause too many repubs fear for their families and their jobs…there’s no justice here.
“Be there, will be wild.”
Premeditation.
Case closed.
