Esper: Trump ‘Incited’ January 6 Riot to Undermine a Free and Fair Election
Breitbart ^ | 05/12/2022 | Pam Key

Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead” that then-President Donald Trump incited the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol to undermine a free and fair election and the peaceful transfer of power.

Esper said, “I think it’s important at the end of the day that the January 6th Committee get to the bottom of what happened and understand it, make sure there is accountability and figure out how we prevent this from happening again. It was a tragic day in our nation’s history.”

Trump told people to go over and let their voices be heard,
PEACEFULLY.

Not mostly Peaceful either.

“figure out how we prevent this from happening again”

Maybe try not stealing elections and pissing off half the country to the point where they are willing to storm the capitol?

Except that he offered Pelosi 10000 National Guard to protect the capital and she refused it.

This guy wants to pretend he doesn’t know that. So does that fake committee they set up which is not investigating anything.

2000 mules got to the bottom of the stolen election…1/6 Commission is joke. Each day that pass the panel is less and less relevant

Esper should move to a country where there are fair and free elections.

from wiki:

In 2017, he joined the Trump administration as the 23rd secretary of the Army. In 2019, Esper was named acting defense secretary; he was confirmed shortly afterwards as the 27th defense secretary by the United States Senate with a vote of 90–8.[1] He was fired by President Donald Trump by tweet on November 9, 2020.

Didn’t Trump fire Esper in November well before Jan 6? Sour grapes Esper knows absolutely nothing about what transpired on Jan 6

These people are disingenuous lunatics! If anyone is a danger to our “democracy” it’s the left wing freak show.

This is the same guy who wanted to do ZERO against arson, looting and vandalism right across the street from the White House.

He didn’t want to “militarize” Washington DC by calling up the National Guard.

What a joke!

Trump says let’s peacefully make our voices heard
= inciting an insurrection.
Mayor Groot says this is a call to arms= peaceful demonstrations.

Meanwhile you have leftists celebrating making threats to Supreme Court justices..just once I would have loved to have the GOP on the same page and say “Ya know what, Jan 6th was a peaceful protest and they had EVERY right to go there and express their anger at a stolen election!”

Like North Korea, maybe?

Hey Marky! What was so tragic about 6 January in your opinion. I think the days of crap eating Snowflakes dressed up like a bunch of low level “actors” on a low level TV show and hanging around outside the homes of SCOTUS justices was more tragic than a couple of drunken bozos urinating on Nanzi Polizei’s laptop and gavel and scaring the crap out of AOC.
