James O'Brien takes on LBC caller claiming Trump voters are unaware of Capitol riots

James O'Brien counters caller Rory's claim that voters were unaware of the January 6th riots and Trump’s legal issues, including his adjudicated rape conviction.

'For your theory to work, the people you’re patronising would have to be unaware of the things Trump says all the time', James argues.

Trump has become the second person in US history to win a non-consecutive second term, clinching victory over Kamala Harris after securing the necessary 270 electoral votes with a win in Wisconsin.

Speaking at a campaign event in Florida early Wednesday, Trump vowed to fight" for "every citizen" and promised the "golden age of America".

He declared, "Every single day I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body.

"I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve."

LBC is the home of live debate around news and current affairs in the UK.

As an American, I feel slightly less embarrassed knowing the kind of unbridled idiocy demonstrated by the caller isn't confined to my intellectually deprived nation!

[wthomas]

They're aware. They just don't care.

[Evocatorum]

You don't need a passport to leave the state of Texas and the Insurrection made national news, so there's no way they wouldn't know.

[lacegemneye]

American here. Everyone here, EVERYONE, saw what happened on January 6th… it is one of the most acknowledged events in recent history

[adrianhjordan]

Rory, I work 12 hour shifts and am still very engaged in both UK and Global Why does working hard mean someone would not be aware of the basics of politics????

[denerobbins]

This caller is the embodiment of everyone who voted for Trump, they don't care and make excuses for him

[harperproperties]

America is looking dumber by the day. Clown show for the

Paid $3.20 per gallon in Florida this morning (roughly half what it costs in the UK) High gas prices is a lame excuse. If you’re that concerned, trade in your 10 mpg gas-guzzling SUVs and trucks for something more fuel efficient.
Also inflation is around 2%, lower than virtually everywhere else in the world, and whoever said bread is $9 a loaf is lying. It’s around $3.50.
Sadly, racism and misogyny is why Trump won.

They were mad the Capitol riots did not succeed.

[liamminerYT]

They absolutely know he exists. They are absolutely turning a blind eye.

[KingUSMCO]

The American people voted with their feelings instead of their brains. Abortion memorandums are direct proof of that. Protect abortion but voted in the guy who put it on the chopping block. Truly trump voters don't have consistent standards.

[jensraab]

Yeah, sure, they've never heard about Jan 6.
This is so ridiculous Rudy Giuliani would have been embarrassed to argue this in court, even after a few drinks.

[PatrickMcGowan-chho]

Rory sounds like a future Conservative cabinet minister in the making.🤣🤣

[WernerKerschbaumer]

That guy is telling on himself… only people who drink spiced cinnamon lattes know about spiced cinnamon lattes.

[sedgyd]

They voted for him abd they know, and they don’t care…..

Trump represents America perfectly. Let's not kid about 😅

They dont need passports, but they all have TVs
