Trump Doubles Down On His Jan. 6 Lies, Won’t Apologize To Pence At CNN Town Hall

Coup-attempting former President Donald Trump doubled down Wednesday on his lies about the 2020 election and his actions during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol and claimed, again, that his vice president had done “something wrong” by not declaring Trump the winner of the election he had lost.
“That was a rigged election,” Trump lied, barely two minutes into a “town hall” hosted for him by CNN.

“If you look at what happened in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, if you look at what happened in Detroit, Michigan, if you look at what happened in Atlanta, millions of votes, and all you have to do is take a look at government cameras,” Trump said, repeating yet again the same falsehoods that ginned up his followers into attacking the Capitol. “You will see them, people going to 28 different voting booths to vote, to put in seven ballots apiece. I mean, and they’re all on camera.”
Responding to a question about why he waited three hours before telling his mob of followers to stop attacking the Capitol, Trump falsely claimed he had done so soon after 2 p. m.

In reality, that taped video message was not released until 4:17 p. m. — two hours after his supporters had broken into the building while assaulting police officers, and more than 90 minutes after Trump had attacked former Vice President Mike Pence in a tweet for lacking the “courage” to award Trump a second term despite having lost the election by 7 million votes.
That post enraged his followers and led them to swarm the entrances within minutes, according to a video released by the House Jan. 6 committee last summer. Many roamed the halls, searching for Pence and chanting: “Hang Mike Pence!”

Donald Trump Jr. Whines About Fox News Not Inviting Him On For Longest Time

Donald Trump Jr. on Monday griped that Fox News has not booked him as a guest in a long time, blaming “censorship.”
“I used to be on Fox three, four, five, six, 10 times a week,” he said on the “Steak for Breakfast” podcast.

“I haven’t been on in nine months. Not a call, not an invite, not anything,” he continued. “So I understand what it appears like they’re trying to do to the America First movement. You know, Tucker was another one of those voices.”
The former president’s oldest son attributed his long-term absence from the channel his father once revered to a larger issue of right-wing outlets turning against him and others.

“I’ve been watching the censorship happening, even in conservative mainstream media,” Trump Jr. said. “You saw what Fox did to Tucker Carlson last week, and the week before that, it was Dan Bongino.”
Trump attributed Carlson’s firing by Fox News to the cable personality’s “America First” agenda, such as questioning the United States’ support of Ukraine to defend itself against the Russian invasion. He claimed that Carlson was shown the door after saying that former President Donald Trump was the only person who understands foreign policy and the risks of the U. S. proxy war with Russia.

Carlson was ousted after Fox News settled a lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million. The conservative channel rode the ex-president’s false cries of balloting fraud from the likes of Carlson to feed its ratings.
Carlson was also found to have sent “highly offensive” messages that alarmed Fox execs. He privately mocked spreaders of the election lies while publicly boosting the conspiracy theories. He also privately disparaged the former president.
