Rucker And Leonnig Share Details About Trump's Handling Of Jan. 6 Attack

[stevejette]

Waiting for Pence to speak out ??? Waiting for a jellyfish to fly ? It's spineless !

[kevinbrown]

The demon shafted a children's charity. Duh.

[ruthdepew]

Liking Trump is the ultimate poor life choice.

[mikilynne]

When your enemy is talking himself into oblivion, don't interrupt.

[paulshaw]

When you people are interviewing him you should come out & tell him he`s LYING!!

[NAV-tvxf]

He didn't handle the Jan 6 riot, he promoted it and played a large role in organizing it.

[darylmakarenko]

The DOJ needs to shut down the Trump Grift here straight away.

[BERNIEO]

The media should have shut the Trump door after he walked thru it for the last time...😠

[KL-njvi]

It's all about the grift. With trump it's always about the grift.

[cme]

The “former guy” is NOT A KING or a “King maker!” That’s something that he insisted that he is..🙄🤨 His sycophants don’t know any better..😡

[sydnidowney]

The money djt is collecting IS FOR HIS POCKET.

[aak]

The thing that I will never understand is how they can "like the guy" as she said. There isn't one thing likable or redeemable about him. When you research his history he's been doing these vile things his entire life. Is it because they think just like he does?

[emmc]

Hillary had great support. She won the popular vote, but she and her voters behaved with dignity at the results.

[dannmarceau]

He's laughing all the way to the bank, he's found the cash cow.

[peterford]

Doesn't say much to the people who need his backing to keep their seats. How do they live with themselves having such low opinions of themselves.

[donnabordage]

Every time Trump talks it’s like he’s talking to a bunch of kindergarteners drives me nuts

[roberthoffman]

I refuse to believe Pence could win the presidency in any case.

[TheBluepacker]

My brother likes him! I have other relatives who like him! It's more like they love Trump! They'd vote for him again if he rans again! Unbelievable! I hope Trump's in prison by that time!

[twocows]

Trump shows what really defines the Republican party

[kaykeelan]

Truthfully, a few Capitol policemen did usher in some of the rioters - the ones who sauntered along the large hall looking all around them and then wandered out again without doing any damage - but that was in one small place and those policemen were obviously unsure what to do. Everywhere else, the rioters rushed the police lines and broke in and there was extreme violence. The world saw the situation as it evolved.
