Trump calls on Americans, Big Tech to help ensure peaceful transition: 'NO violence'
Fox News ^ | 11-13-2021 | Brooke Singman

EXCLUSIVE: President Trump on Wednesday is calling for "all Americans" to help "ease tensions and calm tempers," saying he does "not" stand for violence "of any kind" -- and he's asking Big Tech to join the effort.

"In light of reports of more demonstrations, I urge that there must be NO violence, NO lawbreaking and NO vandalism of any kind," the president said in a statement to Fox News. "That is not what I stand for and it is not what America stands for. I call on ALL Americans to help ease tensions and calm tempers. Thank You."

A Trump adviser told Fox News the statement will go out as an email from the White House press office. The White House will then attempt to post the statement to all of Trump’s official social media accounts.

The adviser also told Fox News the statement would be posted and distributed through all Trump campaign and political accounts.

"President Trump is asking all Americans to join with him in ensuring that there is an orderly and peaceful transition next week," a senior Trump adviser told Fox News. "President Trump is also asking that Big Tech companies join with him in this effort."

The president’s statement came as the House was debating an article of impeachment against him, saying he incited insurrection, and days after he was permanently suspended from Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

The statement also came just a day after his first public appearance since last week’s Capitol riot, telling reporters he wanted "no violence."

Wait a week. Read up on Trump. Who he is.

You are so much wiser than the rest of us that I’m sure that you would be willing to give $100 to Free Republic in one week if Biden is president and nothing has changed? Will you? Or are you not quite as sure as you say you are?

Well said. But the GOP is dead to me regardless. Pres Trump unwittingly smoked them out and there’s no unringing the bell.

Well there is the silver lining that so many Repugs have unequivocally outed themselves. I know we knew anyway-intuitively-but now we can know for a fact, and just how deep and wide it is. Enough for me to never hold my nose again. Third party or bust.

I'm registering as an independent within the week.

I'd love nothing more than to have Mitch McConnell and
Paul Ryan get what they brought on, shoved right in
their face.

That goes for the Bush, Cheney, and McCain family members.

It's also a slap at the SCOTUS, that sold Trump out.

When the Lefty Republicans come running to join the new
party, we can tell them to go pound sand.

Those people destroyed the party, and then blamed it on
Donald Trump.

Baloney! We'll see how they like having 2.50% of Registered
Americans left their party.

All Pres Trump did was give them credit for being the statesmen they liked to portray themselves as being-but when his populism clashed with their elitism, their own desperation to hold on to their own petty personal agendas forced them to out themselves. We’ve swallowed their open borders, their bailouts of entities “too big to fail” while spitting on the taxpayers drowning financially due to drawn-out draconian covid regulations, etc-I feel like a fool for mistaking their crony capitalism for the laissez-faire kind-party of small government my azz-and can only pray that one more election will matter while I can still spit on them all.

Thanks for your response.

They are going to be doing things we never thought of them
doing, they’ll be so devious.

Last night I hear of something I’d never even considered
them doing, and it was a terrible idea. Can’t recall it
at the moment.

Notice how these guys came to office with a game plan to
change everything they wanted to, ASAP?

Contrast that with the Turtle and the moron.

Nope. Political Parties are not the answer. Especially a third party. They never have/never will be relevant.

We are going to have to fight our way out of this mess. Our enemies will never compromise with us, or recognize us, or work with is in any form or fashion.

Our two-party political system is as dead as our former form of government.

There is no way he would leave this country to these people.

That may be true. But the current process/procedures must
continue. That’s not to say that things can’t be uncovered,
revealed and processes started to implement change. You saw
what happened in DC.

My point is he wants us to just chill out.

Then we have to use the rare commodity critical thinking. This is simply not over yet.

In every way.
