Trump EXPLODES As Riot Hearings Crush Him
Donald Trump sent out a number of “truths” to his social media platform Truth Social in response to the first two days of the January 6th hearings. One of the things Trump is upset with is the fact that the committee isn’t doing his bidding by investigating whether the 2020 election results were legitimate. He posted, “does anybody notice that the Unselect Committee refuses to discuss or debate, in any way, shape, or form, the many irrefutable types of Election Fraud and Irregularities found in the 2020 election?” Of course, the time to dispute the election results is long over and Trump’s side lost sixty court cases related to it. The ex-president also attacked his former attorney general, Bill Barr, with a post saying, “former A.G. Bill Barr, a RINO if there ever was one, didn’t have the courage or stamina to go after voter fraud - Was afraid he was going to be impeached. NO GUTS, NO GLORY!!!” The real reason Barr didn’t go after “voter fraud” in the 2020 election is because he didn’t find any evidence of it and he refused to play along with Trump’s desperate attempts to hold onto power after losing to Joe Biden.
Don Jr's Girlfriend Got $60k in Trump Donor Money for 2 Minute Speech
Kimberly Guilfoyle, the now-fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., was paid $60,000 for a two-and-a-half minute speech at the Ellipse on January 6, 2021. The money came from Trump supporters through the “Official Election Defense Fund” and it was supposed to go towards efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Trump’s favor. Instead, it was used to funnel campaign money to Trump’s family members and allies. The January 6th committee which revealed this, won’t say whether this payment was criminal as its simply a legislative committee. But perhaps this should be a matter that’s turned over to the Justice Department for a proper investigation.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump Took Advice from Drunk Rudy Giuliani
One of the big headlines from day two of the January 6th committee was that Donald Trump was taking advice from an intoxicated Rudy Giuliani on election night. As Committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney announced, “President Trump rejected the advice of his campaign election night and instead followed the course recommended by an apparently inebriated Rudy Giuliani to just claim he won and insist that the vote counting stop.” That is exactly what Trump did. He came out around 2 am on the night of the election, claimed he won the race, and said he wanted all vote counting to stop. As Cheney explained at the hearing, Trump knew the early results would favor him and the mail-in ballots would take longer to get counted leading Joe Biden to slowly catch up. Trump tried desperately to use this to his advantage and set the narrative that he won and among many of his supporters it worked.
From yesterday’s show:
ANOTHER Trump Scam: "Election Defense Fund" Didn't Exist
The so-called “Official Election Defense Fund” Donald Trump created in the wake of the 2020 election has been exposed as a total grift and scam. The January 6th commission has been investigating how between Election Day and the insurrection, the Trump campaign sent millions of fundraising emails to his supporter base. The truth is there was no such fund and the money being raised simply went to the Trump campaign. But that didn’t stop Trumpists from donating $250 million to it. The money then went to the family members and allies of Donald Trump. Kimberly Guilfoyle, the then-girlfriend now-fiancée of Don Jr., was paid $60,000 of this money for giving a two-and-a-half-minute speech at the rally on the 6th. This grift could very well be criminal, but at the very least it was a scam that once again Trump supporters fell for.

So Trump insists that the Jan 6 riots were justified because they paled in comparison to the 2020 (stolen) election. At the same time, he denies any responsibilty for "inciting" the riot. If he was a man of integrity (which he is not), he would stand up and flat-out say: "YES!!! I was the one who orchestrated the insurrection AND I STAND BY WHAT WE DID!! And we will CONTINUE to protest until I return to the White House!!!" Instead, he sits down in front of the TV and watches it unfold excitedly. He maintains that he knew nothing about the riots. He was a coward for not even attending the event (to show his solidarity). He will be remembered in the history books for his abominable behavior and lack of moral character. What an embarrassment to the rest of the world. We are no longer the strongest and proudest nation in the world, thanks to Donald Trump.
I will be very surprised if you print this comment. The ONLY honorable thing for Trump to do at this point is to eat his gun. He will never have any credibility. He is desperate and there is nowhere else to turn. He is finished. He has even disowned his own daughter. The only people who are buying into his claims are the Proud Boys, and they are cowards not to come forth and identify themselves. They are in hiding. Trump identifies with these cowards and is the biggest one of all. Thank you.
