[StaceyNixon-xz]

He didn't acknowledge it because the media and politicians and law enforcement didn't punish him or hold him responsible y'all just continued to let him antagonize the rule of law

[nickcasto]

He has never told the truth in his life. Why would he start now?

[Ryanedinburgh]

He may be able to pretend that j6 doesn’t exist in his sad little pathetic brain, but he will go down in history as the worst president that this country has ever seen.

[deescalatenow]

We are ceasing to be a country of laws & are becoming ruled by fear. It is not that we have forgotten Jan.6th or any of the other acts against our country. Our congress, tragically is afraid to invoke 14th amendment section 3. Afraid of violent tendencies of his supporters, fear of the money & power.

[GilbertEstrada-jy]

There is one thing that will never go away, no matter how much Trump and his followers try to deny it: the truth.

[ThackeroosPlantShop]

That’s bc justice was never served so he shows no contrition.

[neilcanfield]

He'll never admit that he lost, his massive and extremely fragile ego won't allow him to.

[oldlady]

trump don't know the TRUTH IF IT KNOCKS HIM DOWN.

[vickyeveret]

NOBODY WILL ACKNOWLEDGED YOUR LIES BUT YOUR KIND, NO WONDER WHY DEMOCRATS SUFFERED A HUMILIATING DEFEAT, EVILS JUST DON'T WIN.

[sod]

Molly is wrong. the system is falling apart.

[mic]

Trump could not admit any loss. Lied about why they shut down his casino.

[URinMAGACountryNow]

Yes he has and we all know what really happened oh I know bc it is all captured on video. Give it up no one believes you.

[marktito]

We have all seen the videos of the guards escorting everyone into the capitol it up.... you're starting to pretty stupid...

[montanaonthefly]

the irony of MSNBC using the word "truth"

[nucskull]

I still don't understand how Americans love freedom but keep asking for a King.

[DarthSailorMoo]

Fun fact: You can't rig elections with thermostats and Italian satellites. 😎

[richardc]

Remember the American people rejected Kamala

[mr.m]

Nancy Pelosi said January 6th was her fault. I hope she's held accountable.

[BruceLeigh-euwm]

To those who still believe in the fable of Jan 6. What is your best evidence that President Trump incited anything violent that day? Come on now, you have thought of not much else since that "fateful" day. Let's have it.

[EMendonca-mpmf]

How could we (Americans) have elected this guy to the presidency? I am still shocked! 🇺🇸
