As cable television broadcast the scenes of Trump supporters breaking past police lines and even smashing their way into the Capitol on January 6, the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., texted Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff: “He’s got to condemn this sh** ASAP. The Capitol Police tweet is not enough.”
A little later, Don Jr. texted again: “We need an Oval office address. He [then-president Trump] has to lead now. It has gone too far and gotten out of hand.”
It’s that last statement that reveals the whole truth of January 6 for Trump’s supporters. Donald Trump’s claims of massive election fraud (only in the states he lost, btw) were treated by people around him as a kind of naughty habit that had to be tolerated or indulged. When the people who treated these claims very seriously started acting like they were true — when they tried to “Stop the Steal” by interrupting the ceremony in which Congress certifies the results of the presidential election — then it had “gone too far and gotten out of hand.”
For those few hours, several people in the conservative media world who had influence with the president tried to intervene on behalf of reality. “Please, get him on TV — [the Capitol riot is] destroying everything you accomplished,” Brian Kilmeade texted Meadows.
“Can he make a statement, ask people to leave the Capitol?” pleaded Sean Hannity.
Just as Tucker Carlson had once traveled to Mar-a-Lago to ask the president to take the Covid-19 pandemic more seriously, these Fox hosts were intervening with a man who they knew took television seriously, more seriously than his constitutional duties.
Hearing the texts read aloud at this late date in the year does provide a sense of clarity. Many of Trump’s lies before this seemed to have little cost at all. Many of them had been brazened out until they produced a kind of success. The lies that Trump told that day to that crowd had produced this specific, televised disaster. Unfortunately, it was a predicted disaster. But almost everyone knew it was wrong while it was happening. It took effort to forget.
In the months after January 6, the politically correct move for Trump’s cable-news apologists has been to ignore the fact that the people who set about “investigating” the supposed vote fraud have turned up nothing of consequence or merit. Or, it has been to focus obsessively on the potential involvement of the FBI or other intel agencies in the riots, to speculate about who may have been planted as agent provocateurs in the crowd. This is worth inquiring about, especially after the FBI’s cack-handed work trying to instigate a kidnapping plot against Governor Whitmer went south.
But the riot at the Capitol happened because President Donald Trump simply lied, and lied, and lied. On that very day he lied about what the vice president’s powers were. “All Vice President Pence has to do is send it back to the states to recertify, and we become president, and you are the happiest people,” he told the crowd.
Presidents have a duty to protect the Constitution; on that day Trump was subverting it. Even as the ugly scenes were unfolding, Trump seemed to be instigating the crowd even further, as if he were trying to put more coercive pressure on his own vice president. He tweeted:
Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!
There is a kind of partisan kick-reflex that is surely active in many people reading this. The reflex kicks: The Left is at war with the Right. It kicks again: Stop punching to your right. It kicks again: Stop trying to police the Right and stop trying to make it respectable to the Left.
But it’s not them I care about. It’s simply the truth. Treating Trump like a baby whose feelings had to be coddled at the end resulted in Ashli Babbitt’s getting shot as she tried to break into Congress against a lawful order to desist. He could no more Stop the Steal than make Mexico pay for the wall. But, pay for his actions? Some people did.
Enjoy your trip to history National Review.
The man had every right to be upset. Unverified mail in voting might as well be a copy machine contest.
So idiotic. Had he done that, it would have been used as “proof” that he was in charge of the riot. Had he issued this proclamation, it wouldn’t have made the slightest difference.
Last, the congress was in the middle of rubber stamping the coup. Trump had ZERO responsibility to make life easy on them.
Also, I don’t remember a single Democrat issue a statement to stop the George Floyd BLM riots.... not a one. ALl they said was that the “protesters” needed to be listened to.
I’m trying to figure out how they know Trump lied. Did they AUDIT all of the elections in close states? Did they verify that only registered voters voted, and voted themselves? Did they explain what happened in Atlanta in a way that made any sense.
Lots more questions need to be answered, and almost certainly all will have the same answer: NO!
So, maybe the election was stolen, maybe it wasn’t. Seems to me that the Democrats, Media, and GOP Trump Haters would DEMAND reviews of the election, to prove Trump wrong, as that would end his God-like status with the Republican base. That would certainly be the end of Trump, once and for all.
...of course if they do real reviews/audits/investigations, they may not get the answers they want.
how could he ‘lie and lie and lie’ when twitter and facebook shut him off in the middle of him calling for calm?
Did the Congressional building open the PA system and broadcast a message from Trump to those inside? No? hmmmkay
This so-called insurrection actually DESTROYED President Trump’s chance to begin to rectify the election fraud. Why would he plan to storm the Capitol when the republicans in the Senate were going to reject the Certification of the election. That’s what the rally was for, to support the republican senators. There was absolutely no motivation on Trump’s part to stop that from taking place. It was the Democrats who actually had the motive to stop what was about to happen.
That was the intent of the false flag operation here.
Jan 6th should have occurred,simultaneously, in many States capitals , in a sustained manner, for many months . Until the election fraud was completely rectified .
Such evil bullshit. “No significant Evidence”...
An End, please Lord, to all the gaslighting...

The Democrats and their MSM Useful Idiots sustaining the steal.
Liars each and everyone of them.
NO MORE NATIONAL REVIEW !!
They lie and lie and lie !
Stealing elections with media bias alone has consequences let alone Mail in theft etc. They’re lucky jan 6 wasn’t much worse.
You can't get enough conservative citizens to make that kind of sacrifice. The true patriot trait has been bred out of our DNA for quite some time now. But hey, as long as they aren't invading a conservative's personal residence, all is good. /s
Is this capital riot/Trump in the room with you right now?
I wonder who is propping up National Review?
The Capitol riot occurred because Democrats cheated. Although they’ve been cheating for many decades, their cheating this time was so brazen it had to be confronted. But nobody in a position of political authority wanted to confront it.
I believe the ultimate solution to election fraud is to switch the burden of proof away from citizens seeking to prove fraud, to election officials who should be required to demonstrate the complete absence of fraud.
Damsure not their subscribers
If lying caused riots all of blue American would have been engulfed in riots in 2020 and there would have been billions in damage, looting and mayhem ..
