You’re joking, I hope.Show me the people in the crowd at the rally before they were on film at the capitol building.
Eyewitness testimony. And far from the only one to tell the same story:
“After this, we’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you,” Trump told the crowd. The people around me exchanged looks of astonishment and delight. “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women. We’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them—because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength.”
“No weakness!” a woman cried.
Before Trump had even finished his speech, approximately eight thousand people started moving up the Mall. “We’re storming the Capitol!” some yelled.
There was an eerie sense of inexorability, the throngs of Trump supporters advancing up the long lawn as if pulled by a current. Everyone seemed to understand what was about to happen.”
As a sidebar, explain to me what a “show of strength” might be when you’re talking about thousands of people going to the Capitol to attempt a coup.
Extra Tabasco sauce? Doing a hundred pushups? Maybe a gymnastic cheerleader pyramid?
Take a hint little boy: The more you try to backpedal, the more FACTS I can toss out there, making you look dumber with each post.
Try harder.
