‘President Trump’s supporters attempted a coup’: Pa. Gov. Tom Wolf on U.S. Capitol attack
Pennlive ^ | 6 January A.D. 2021 | Teresa Bonner

Posted on 01/06/2021 3:36:21 PM PST by lightman

Gov. Tom Wolf issued this statement Wednesday afternoon condemning the violence in Washington, D.C.:

“Today, President Trump’s supporters attempted a coup. This was the direct result of a deliberate disinformation campaign by Republicans from the President down to legislators in Pennsylvania. They lied about the results of the election. They lied about voter fraud. They lied about my administration and other governors. They lied about the administration of the election here in Pennsylvania and across the country. On November 3, we had a remarkably well-run election despite historic challenges.

“Eight of the nine Republican members of Congress from Pennsylvania lied about our election in an attempt to pledge fealty to President Trump.

“Republican legislators enabled this every step of the way. They’ve held show trials to gin up President Trump’s supporters. They’ve intentionally spread disinformation.

“The actions of Republicans in Pennsylvania and across the country have led to violence. It is their fault. There should be no equivocation.

“It is past time for Republicans to stop lying and tell their supporters the truth. President Trump lost. The election was fair. President Trump received fewer votes. That’s it.

“We have had a peaceful transfer of power every election cycle in our nation’s history but because of the actions of Republicans, we can no longer say that. I am disgusted but I will keep fighting to make our democracy stronger.”

Please calling that a Coup is moronic. But Wolf is an idiot, so I guess he’s punching above his weight.

"Ye shall know them by their fruits"

Unlike anyone else...Trump exposed acres of orchards of poison apples.

Look at all who have showed themselves for who/what they truly are.

If anything, he has warned us to beware of those who say they "have your back"...the warning being, they also carry with them deception...and knives.

WRONG AGAIN A-HOLE! The same clown who tried to prevent the big swap meet and car show in Carlisle last June from happening while Philadelphia and Pittsburgh were burning (BTW,the unions representing health care workers wholeheartedly supported that. Seeking social justice, whatever TF that’s supposed to mean TRUMPS taking precautions from the plandemic) The event did go on and not ONE case of COVID could be attributed to that. Wolfie has zero credibility to say the least.

There is a continuing attempt to build a narrative that “right-wing” shock troops were behind the actual assault on the Capitol, when in fact it was a group of ringers sent in to mingle with the crowd, that initiated the actual mischief.

Much like the Antifa that started out with the “peaceful protests” in Portland, Minneapolis and Seattle, then at the predetermined moment, launched an attack on property and visible representations of authority.

A “false-flag” operation. This has all the fingerprints of Antifa all over it. Mayor Muriel Bowser supposedly called the National Guard for just such an eventuality, but mysteriously, they were “far away” when the assault began.

Almost like it was a preconceived plan that was meshed together, the attack begins, and there is nobody there to halt or detain the perpetrators.

Not that the National Guard was told to “stand down”, they were just too far away to be effectual.

Wrong response.

Time to defuse, not double down on pushing the steal.

Of all the states, the people in Pa know just how bad the steal was in that state and no amount of Tom Wolf's gaslighting is going to change that.

Infestat, I mean infiltration has been an Antifa MO for a while. Classic Sun Tsu for how a smaller army defeats a larger army.

Guess he has gotten past his murdering old people phase.

Just keep fanning the flames you twit (Wolf). You are one of the principal authors of what happened today, and the more you talk the more trouble you are going to whip up.
