My point is as it relates to McCarthy calling the President and telling him to call off his supporters. That’s what I thought we were discussing.
The call was made...
The President responded and it is recorded...
“My point is as it relates to McCarthy calling the President and telling him to call off his supporters.”
And my point is that McCarthy was, intentionally or unintentionally, trying to get Trump take ownership of the entire riot with a statement using that kind of language at that particular time.
Trump did, of course, much later, tell his supporters to go home. That is different than telling rioters to withdraw.
