Former President Donald Trump attempted to whitewash the history of the January 6 Capitol riot by pushing the false suggestion that his supporters were "hugging and kissing" police officers and posed "zero threat" despite widespread violence, injuries to law enforcement officers and five deaths.
It's an outrageous attempt by Trump to rewrite the history of the insurrection, which he stoked by repeatedly and falsely claiming the 2020 election was stolen from him. There is no evidence of widespread fraud, but Trump and many of his conservative allies in the media and on Capitol Hill have continued to push the "big lie" regardless.
Calling into Fox News, Trump was asked if he was concerned about the US Capitol's beefed up security, including razor-wire fencing, which he derided as "disgraceful" and a "political maneuver."
"It was zero threat, right from the start, it was zero threat. Look, they went in, they shouldn't have done it. Some of them went in, and they are hugging and kissing the police and the guards, you know, they had great relationships," Trump told Fox News' Laura Ingraham. "A lot of the people were waved in, and then they walked in and they walked out."
Trump's latest whitewash attempt comes after the world has been presented with reams of video evidence of the violence that broke out on January 6, criminal charges filed against participants, law enforcement officials testimony, police officers' accounts of the violence, and lawmakers' descriptions of the fear they experienced that day.
Trump appeared to suggest that some of the rioters should face repercussions, but quickly pivoted to attacking the leftist movement Antifa, a familiar target of his that he has often cited to draw a false equivalency in downplaying crimes committed in his name.

That ex-what’s-his-name is totally outta order, uh, ‘scuse me, presi…???…can’t remember, my cerebral capacity has a full tilt on meaninglessness.
I think his name was Ronald.
@Ava oh…
I suppose he has a need to prove how big of a jerk he is 😂.
He’s a narcissist and psychotic sociopath I don’t know something like that he can’t feel emotions or he can’t recognise emotions either way he’s a loser and not somebody that should’ve ever been in a position of any power.
The kiss of death. They’re all carriers of Covid-19.

They so lovingly bashed in the windows and smeared their feces all over the Capitol walls with great care and great intentions.
@Mark Lancaster you mean the self proclaimed die hard trump supporter? 😂 or is that just a conspiracy too?
@Ranger No because I have watched different things and news channels. If you look around besides believing everything on CNN I’m sure you can see for your self what’s really going on. Unless you are totally stupid.
No mate that was Antifa and BLM, but to know that you would have to think for yourself and not watch CNN. your comment shows you are a feed a lot of low information.
If you do have 10 mins watch this little video.

@Gogetter 1 Brown LoL I was basically being facetious. Of course they came with ill intentions
@Corey Wilson I figured that but we good
The next person I see wearing anything Chump related I’m gonna hug and kiss them
Trump is simply demented. How can a man who has been lying all his life ever tell the truth? As Jesus said “A bad tree cannot bear good fruit”.
@David A. Music I just did.
Jesus is a Fraud perpetrated by the the Vatican, formally the Roman Government. It’s a fiction, a piece of war propaganda made to enslave the minds of people as they had set out to take over the wold. FACT. So grow up! Be a decent human being without the crutch of lies.
What has Trump lied about
And bidens not demented for opening the border to allow chinese and iranian enemies to freely enter the country to help cartels to steal more children to sell as slaves, while Biden closes down energy companies allow gas prices to climb, wow to still say he is a great leader even though he is a puppet who is destroying America
The irony is you are watching CNN 🤣
@Roberta Rodriguez DHS said less than a week ago the border is closed. Are you willfully ignorant, brainwashed by Trump or just stupid?
Dead policeman certainly didn’t look like he was being hugged and kissed.
@Kick in the Bass TV Damn trolling pays.
@DrkViol801 prove it dummy.
@John Smith Gas prices are up because of supply and demand. tRump increased the deficit higher than any president before him, even before Covid19. Biden is working on the issues at the border in as humane way as possible.
TRUMP FOREVER 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Why do you name him: “the president” ? he is a normal person now, and not deserving to be reminded as president. just call him “Trump”.
Communist News Network has no more ratings and our still trying to find Trump stories! Wouldnt be great if they would cover Xiden and President Harris the way they covered Trump? That will never happen. They are nothing but political hacks operating state run tv.
@Kick in the Bass TV Hey look! It’s someone who’s triggered by the word “Communist!” and doesn’t even know what the word means! Everyone point and laugh
@Space Lemur Spitting is disgusting. Please never spit again. Thank you.
@Michael Robertson President Trump did a lot and could have much more if the Dirty Dems had not obstructed his deluxe wall and healthcare program. Lots of coal mines are operating, and many more will operate when President Trump is elected in 2024. God bless President Trump.
I almost feel for his wife since that’s what he thinks hugging and kissing is.
Not to worry, she hasn’t given him any for years.
Spare her no sympathy. She is part and parcel of this.
@Kick in the Bass TV
No! They are trying to expose all the corruption and lies that he told!
And all of you bought into it!
So don’t complain now!
@Raymond Rocha – No, she’s not. She’s just like him.
@Lynne Anderson
I know that!
If I tried to kiss a police officer, I’d catch an assault on an LEO case.
Hugging and kissing cops during a deadly pandemic is assaulting a cop with a biological weapon. 🤦 DUHnald J. Trump. ¬_¬
Then what’s it considered when a protester throws feces and urine at a police officer? Spit on them daily? Because that’s what been going on for a year with multiple police officers injured and killed by antifa and BLM. And you’re allowing cnn to lie and tell you it didn’t happen 😅🤦♀️
But y’all say Trump and trump supporters are crazy or in a cult.
What Trump said that day can’t be misconstrued to say he incited a riot he’s already been proven innocent and we’ve all seen the evidence of all our politicians using the exact same rhetoric!
@melissa hogan we don’t say Christian magas are crazy or in a cult, Christian magas ARE crazy and ARE in a cult. Their ignorance goes beyond comprehension but that’s what religion does to humans. It [religion] eats their brains.
This is a new defence of air guitar evidence.
Last week his lawyer used, ” we lied but nobody in their right mind would believe us ? “…
Nobody is worried about people in their right mind. Its Trumps base we’re talking about…
…Always trying to change the subject.
This idiot thinks that bear spray is like perfume and a strike to a police officer with a bat is like a pat in the back.
Maybe they used pear spray !
Its only one letter off…
I mean the guy died but… he may have just smelled to good for that particular season.
There was no bears there, so you can’t really call it bear spray if you are not spraying bears…
Blah blah blah wah wah wah ?
…Ok, who screwed with the teleprompter again ?
Sounds about right for his relationships! What an absolute piece of crap.
He’s so stupid. He just SOUNDS stupid when he talks. It says a lot that certain people just hear a stable genius.
girlasianwed.men
@Semmster jeeze buddy. He’s both.
@John Yeah, he’s so smart that he’s going down at the WORST president in history.
@John creepy and pathetic.
@bill toal c l o w n.
They had one of them hippy meetings like they did back in the 60’s. A real Love Fest. Lots of huggin’ n kissin’. They may have even had one of them there Orgee’s. That what the used to called them??? Lots of Love on 6-Jan-2021.
Trump lives in an alternate reality. He sees what he wants to see.
No he’s a very good con man selling snake oil and people fall for it everytime
He creates reality for others.
NOW THAT BIDEN IS IN OFFICE…
I just wanted to come back to this comment to show a few updates (btw… these are all true, and broadcasted as well):
1) Biden has eliminated almost 140,000 jobs now
2) Gas prices (as predicted by EVERYONE) have gone up by an average of 160%
3) He selected a Vice President that called him “The Most Racist Candidate Our Country Has Ever Seen.” – Live on The Democratic Debate
4) The Border situation he bashed Trump about is WAY worse
5) The Government hasn’t finished spending the original $900million stimulus budget yet (that Trump planned perfectly), and Biden just put out $2trillion more, to almost double our country’s national debt 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
….. safe to conclude, Trump was the better option 🤷🏼♂️😏😏😏
What will Biden do better for our economy….?
I’m sure the officer that lost his eye wasn’t feeling “the love” I mean what an idiotic thing to say. Trump has no clue or refuses to acknowledge anything that doesn’t fit with his narrative.
He really lives in a world all his own but so do those that support him he,s a piece of well you know.
All Christian magas are a piece of, you know.
He knows what he is doing. It’s called gas lighting
Wow two cops killed themselves…..smh
You must remember Dump parents had come from nazi Germany…
We the people are in the fight of our lives for what little democracy we have left – God Help us🙏🙏🙏
@M U S I C M A C H I N E Devil follower
@S Reid LMFAO Fucking right!
Don’t worry… We will fight hard for our Democracy and all the traitors who still stand by Trump will fall with him.
@Carlos Alexander doubt it💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙
@S Reid he follows me.
Andrew McCabe: “Former-President.”
“Ex-President” please.
