  1. *Trump made a statement! Watch the video you will be shocked* EVERYDAYS.ML

    Mr.Dunn – respect for you.

  2. Unlike most MAGA clowns, this man realizes and admits, over time, that he was duped by Trump and his sycophants.

    1. @Heiglnl franklinhd I hear ya. Did I meet you at the Cincinnati Bengals Super Bowl Championship Parade in February? Keep on volunteering in your community, you appear to be the type that lifts up those in need.

    2. @Oppressed Speaker of truth with Trump in an orange jumpsuit. The Bannon audio recording is out clown.

  3. All of a sudden everyone wants to talk now that they see how serious this committee is about getting the evidence.

  4. Every single one of them coming forward now were complicit!!!! Make no mistake about it!! #Holdthemaccountable!!!

    1. @Iris Hewlett And some are seeking and have book deals! But hey, if it gets rid of the political toxicity and DT, it is all good.

    2. They are. The majority who attended the political justice rally are fine. However, some engaged in unrest. Trespass to government property and in some cases battery for tussling with police.

  5. Maybe he should download “lost, not stolen” to get some facts. Glad he stated he thought there would be violence, but he again riled up the crowd with lies and disinformation.

    1. I really wish these annoying trolls would learn to speak English. Especially when we have to see their same stupid links on every damn comment.

  6. Mr. Stockton is scared shitless – and rightfully so. His name was on the rally/protest papers as an organizer. He is formally responsible for the actions that took place. His livelihood and name recognition are on the block. And he sees the big orange bus wildly bouncing out of control and heading his way. Dustin is the perfect scapegoat – and Donnie would have no qualms about pushing the guy down and running him over – to Donnie, Stockton is just another dupe, another sucker to be used and tossed. Stockton sees it all clearly – he knows exactly how Donnie operates, and he’s scared to death.

    1. Yea, that is what is really sad. So many knew and decided to bet on drumpf grifting the entire American Public, ….. well they are the ‘poorly educated’!!!

  7. I may start a “build the wall” movement – to build the highest thickest prison wall around Trump and all his co-conspirators.

    1. @Harp cht Pirateanon get’s his talking points from Qanon and / or Facebook by the looks of things. ROFLMFAO

  8. Dustin appears to has come a long way in his interviews with news since his first with Ari in which he acted defensive and cocky. Looks he is coming around and feels more at ease speaking and sharing what he saw and experienced. My guess is he has cut his ties with DT and his manipulators.

    1. You may not have noticed, this guy is the physical representation of the term ‘talking out of both sides of his mouth. Watch his mouth while he talks. They interviewer doesn’t even notice.

    2. @wade stanton the phrase “talking out of both sides of your mouth” has nothing to do with how someone physically moves their mouth when they speak, you know it’s not meant to be taken literally, right? Just means saying one thing to one person and an entirely different thing to someone else.

    3. @clever username Maybe you will be clever enough to watch the video and see why the term was coined. lol
      The guy actually does both for the world to learn why there is such a term.

    4. @wade stanton I noticed that too, it was weird. He’s talking out of both sides of his mouth both literally and figuratively.

  9. They HELPED organize the rally. I’m sure they knew that the “potential” for violence was known. Why isn’t they inform actual authorities??????

  10. Good for Brianna. She let the man speak at length with few interruptions. He had a story to tell, expressed it very well and she just let him tell it. I do wish that she would have asked him if he still thought that the election was stolen but that was another conversation for another time.

  11. None of the spokes persons about the insurrection mention that it caused death and abuse both physical and psychological. They are not taking responsibility for that, they are just blaming and passing the buck now , but they must be held accountable for the choices they made as adults. They weren’t little children , they know the difference between right and wrong and made their choice so need to pay the price now.

  12. I didn’t know all this about Stockton, I just thought he had an epiphany, he does have some valuable information.

  13. wow – that was an excellent interview! really appreciated hearing dustin’s perspective of this event he experienced.

  14. For someone who’s best bud is Bannon, and is so dead against government, I will give this guy, Dustin, some credit for saying that the Jan 6 committee has been fair, and I do believe he will be facing some consequences for his being at the rally, spewing his misinformation, and recognizing it went off the rails when it turned violent. That’s the extent of my sympathy for him
