A former Trump White House official on Thursday condemned the events of Jan. 6, 2021, as a "coup attempt" and said the former president "failed to meet the moment" in reflections on the anniversary of the insurrection at the Capitol.

Sarah Matthews, who served as a deputy press secretary in the Trump White House and resigned on Jan. 6 over the day's events, called the riots from a year ago "one of the darkest days in American history."

Trump’s picks were so ghastly I’m surprised he didn’t name Nicole Wallace to something like W Bush did.

Trump is being blamed because he didn’t imagine and predict a deep-state organized riot and Reichstag Fire.

His only sin I suppose then, is being from a generation that still has trust the institutions of Federal Government

Congratulations to The Hill. Out of the hundreds of people employed by x45 they found one who wants to be able to find a job in DC and is willing to say what it takes.

Not really compelling journalism, though. But who expected any from this gang of one-note hacks.

Darker than the Assignation of Lincoln or Kennedy.
Or when teddy drown that girl and left the scene of the crime? Or,the formation of the kkk or Jim crow laws or 9-11 or installing a pervert in the WH?
I guess Trump was suppose to go to the capitol building and shoot Ashley Babbitt dead himself?

Trump should have listened to his instinct when he set up his cabinet..instead not sure who he listened to but he got instead a bunch of back stabbers..notice NO ONE who EVER worked for Obama will EVER say one bad word about him because they know what would happen to them if they did

Trump would have done better by demanding that to be consider for his administration you had to have at last 10 years experience on Free Republic.

The Russia Hoax was an insurrection. Admittedly, DJT could have been more diplomatic, but if was Pelosi/Schiff/Schumer they would have been shrieking for Republican blood on 1/6.

This woman still pretends to be a conservative and is Communications Director for a GOP House Select Committee. They just keep regurgitating these people.

Which is the greater threat to Congress and America, a one day demonstration against a corrupt election or corrupt Congressmen using their office to enrichen themselves and their friends every day of the year and thereby destroying confidence in the legitimacy of the government?

I’ll bet Trump didn’t have more than a half-dozen close associates willing to give up their lives and move to D.C. to join his administration. And the ones who did go all seemed to be like that retarded colostomy bag Michael Cohen.

Trump’s failing was that he never found a Luca Brasi (unless it was G. Gordon Liddy).
