Trump refused to condemn political violence committed by his supporters.

Instead of blaming the insurrectionists who mauled police at the Capitol on January 6th , he blamed the cops who fought back.

Trump said he didn't like the sound of the Massey case, but he warned that without immunity, officers who made “an innocent mistake” might be “unfairly prosecuted.

Trump shrugged off the injuries his goons had inflicted on officers at the Capitol .

“Nobody died that day ,” he scoffed. Trump also implied that the cops had invited people in. “What about the police that are ushering everybody into the Capitol ?” Trump asked, alluding to a video that he and his allies have repeatedly misrepresented.
