‘“For example, I think it was shown how he was in the White House and didn’t do anything while things were going on,” DeSantis said directly echoing the Democrat-led January 6th Committee line.’
I’m a Trump supporter but this is nonsense. DeSantis was saying “he was in the White House and didn’t do anything” in response to the Democrats’ accusation that Trump was involved in an “insurrection” at the Capitol.
He did weasel a bit with the “should have come out more forcefully” part but they are framing this quote dishonestly.
Come out more forcefully how? Even that is BS. None of this is on Trump. Full stop. He called for peaceful protest against a fraudulent election. History suggests that it may have been the right time to call for an armed uprising but that’s not what he did. He called for a peaceful protest. He told the Rats they needed more security in the capitol. He offered, they refused. None of this is on Trump and Desanctimonius is pretending like Trump could have done anything. He posted a tweet calling on everyone to go home...guess what , they immediately took the tweet down. The garbage media wouldn’t allow the President access to the public and its questionable to me whether or not Trump had control of the government at all after the morning of January 6th. The entire narrative is hogwash and anyone who pushes that narrative is not to be considered a supporter of the MAGA movement
“DeSantis was saying “he was in the White House and didn’t do anything””
No wonder you DeSantis-bots are DeSantis-bots. You either can’t read or can’t think.
DeSantis did not say “he was in the White House and didn’t do anything” DeSantis said: “he was in the White House and didn’t do anything WHILE THINGS WERE GOING ON.”
But the weasel words were placed there deliberately. Don’t think for a moment that DeSantis hasn’t discussed this particular topic with his consultants dozens, if not hundreds, of times.
Saying that Trump was wrongfully indicted is the easy part. He has no choice but to say that. To say otherwise would truly end his campaign. There’d be no point in going on after that. So he gives the obligatory “Of course he shouldn’t have been indicted” comment and always makes sure to include a criticism when doing so, in that passive aggressive way of his.
And let’s not forget the tacit implication in his “He should have come out more forcefully” comment. He’s basically agreeing with the Dem/MSM narrative on Jan. 6th - that it was a dangerous attempt to overthrow the government by a mob of Trump supporters, rather than a pre-planned, staged event designed to malign Trump, his supporters, and any efforts to prevent a fraudulent president from being installed. Remember the video of Pelosi and her co-conspirators calmly exiting the Capitol chambers? The only danger on that day was to the poor dupes who were in the wrong place at the wrong time, some of whom are now well into their 2nd year of imprisonment.
