Former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner said the 2021 Capitol riot was unexpected and that the president would’ve tried to prevent violence from happening if he had knowledge of it.
–snip–
“What is clear to me is that no one at the White House expected violence that day. I’m confident that if my colleagues or the president had anticipated violence, they would have prevented it from happening,” Mr. Kushner wrote.
Mr. Kushner……blamed the rioters for making a mockery of the Trump movement and allowing the public to promote a narrative that labeled his supporters as “crazed and violent thugs.”
“After more than six hundred peaceful Trump rallies, these rioters gave Trump’s critics the fodder they had wanted for more than five years,” Mr. Kushner said.
“The claim was as false as the narrative that the violent Antifa rioters who desecrated American cities that summer were representative of the millions of peaceful demonstrators

How was PDJT supposed to stop the capital LEOs from murdering a harmless protestor?
What riot?
Was there a “riot?”
Jared has his FIL’s back. Relax everyone
“ What the hell is Kushner saying? If Trump didn’t have knowledge of any riot then why did he offer up the guard? ”
Risk mitigation, which Pelosi ignored.
No shmendrickgonifschmuckputzschmeckelhead...It was the Stable Genius that HAD to have this onanistic rally (which he abandoned, by the way) and it was YOU and the incompetent list of advisors and "friends" who failed to see this would happen. And if any of you on FR are STILL sating that this was "part of a plan", you should drink a gallon of Toilet Duck. And shmendrickgonifschmuckputzschmeckelhead STILL won't have the courage to call the rioters what they were: ORGANIZED (as opposed to CONservative moron DIS/UNorganized) agitators and rioters from antifa and other groups like the FIB.
Zackly. Nanzi blocked every move by Trump to keep the peace with a nuetral force between the protestors and her Capitol goons.
The damage bill to fix the capital certainty didn’t show a pray service.
As a precaution dummy. Whose side are you on?
Kushner caused more harm to the Trump Administration than any other “friendly” member. He is a leftist, so almost everything he supports is wrong. His leftist wife is rumored to have been the one to convince Donald to fire Steve Bannon because she did not like him. Leftists instinctively side with evil. Something Donald should remember when getting advice from them.
It is unchristian how much I despise this scrawny snot.
When Trump was in office, I harshly criticized Kuchner for being counterproductive to the administration and of dubious loyalties, and got a verbal dressing-down right here on FreeRepublic. So basically I don’t give a shit now what people think about him.
I wanted to go to DC to show my support of Trump. My former Marine buddy said, “Are you crazy!? This is an obvious setting for a false flag attack. There will be something serious that happens, and the DC Police will overreact and hurt a bunch of Trump supporters. I wouldn’t go if I were you.”
I thought about it and decided he was right.
That’s two people with no prior knowledge of anything predicting some sort of incident that would be violent or result in violence.
Exactly. Pelosi and Chuckie turned down Trumps offer of National Guard
Troops.
I don’t think it was the “expectation of violence” or a riot, it was being a leader, thinking ahead, and realizing that things could go sideways.
Ergo, get folks there that can do something if they do
Preventive...Duh...
You do realize that Trump requested thousands of the NG to be deployed and was turned down, don’t you?
But yeah, the time and place and scale seemed like a setup and Trump of course was involved in that part of it—whether unwitting or otherwise.
The only violence I remember was an unarmed woman being shot by capital police
Out of control disguised government agent agitators can be so messy.
I haven't thought of this actual term in a while but I am an informal student of 1968. The police agents provocateur and FBI and Mayor Daley corrupt cops made a stand against the young anti-American anti-war demonstrators opposing the elite DNC convention "establishment" insiders running against Nixon.
The later term used was "police riot." It was accurate when adrenaline caused cops to go too wild. The other side countered later by detonating bombs around the country including the accidental explosion at a bomb making SDS Weatherman NYC townhouse near Dustin Hoffman's. Village Voice photo showed him cowering and running out after the first blast. Also a CIA office in Michigan was blown up by a long haired leftist.
1968 is coming back.
