Donald Trump just sat around watching TV for three hours during the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yesterday evening I watched the televised January 6th hearing. An article by Patricia Zengerle and Sarah N. Lynch at Reuters on July 22, 2022 titled Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot hearings lay blame at Trump’s feet reported:

 

" ‘President Trump sat at his dining table and watched the attack on television while his senior-most staff, closest advisors and family members begged him to do what is expected of any American president,’ U.S. Representative Elaine Luria said. ‘President Trump refused to act because of his selfish desire to stay in power.’ "

 

There also was a ludicrous moment described by Cody Godwin at USA Today on July 22, 2022 in another article titled Security cameras catch Sen. Josh Hawley running out of the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riots.

 

No photos were taken showing Trump in his dining room, so I Photoshopped one from a working lunch.
