Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), who featured prominently in the Democrats’ first January 6 hearing Thursday night, read a tweet during the hearing from former President Donald Trump but omitted the final sentences where he told protesters to “go home with love and in peace.”
Cheney said in her opening statement:
Donald Trump tweeted, but he did not condemn the attack. Instead, he justified it. ‘These are the things and events that happen,’ he said, ‘when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously and viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly and unfairly treated for so long.’
Cheney stopped reading Trump’s tweet there and said, “As you will see in the hearings to come, President Trump believed his supporters at the Capitol, and I quote, ‘were doing what they should be doing.”
Cheney left out the last part of Trump’s tweet, which said, “Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!”
Cheney’s omission highlighted what Republicans and Trump aides said were deceptive edits of their statements.
Jason Miller, a former top Trump aide, tweeted during the hearing that the January 6 Select Committee omitted part of his testimony at the hearing when it played a clip in which he said Trump’s lead internal data expert told the president he was going to lose. Miller said the committee omitted the next part of his testimony, in which he explained that Trump pushed back against the analyst based on other things the analyst was not monitoring.
Breitbart News’ Joel Pollak also reported that the committee played a deceptively edited video of the Capitol riot that had dubbed Trump’s voice .
