Top Aid Testifies That Trump Wanted Armed Mob At Capitol.
“A former White House official revealed explosive new details Tuesday about President Donald Trump’s actions on Jan. 6, 2021, telling Congress that he knew his supporters were carrying weapons, insisted on personally leading the armed mob to the Capitol, physically assailed the senior Secret Service agent who told him it was not possible, expressed support for the hanging of his own vice president, and mused about pardoning the rioters.
The testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson, who was an assistant to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, was the most chilling to date in the House select committee’s Jan. 6 investigation. Recounting granular detail and private dialogue, she presented to the public a penetrating account of Trump’s actions and mind-set as the Capitol came under siege from his own supporters, who were determined to stop the counting of electoral votes and impede the certification of Joe Biden’s victory.”
Trump is now associated with inciting the attempted coup on Capitol Hill and in fact he allegedly wanted it to take place with armed insurrectionists. The damning testimony would sink anyone political fortunes and place in history if there were normal times. Normal times left America a long time ago and his rabid followers will cheer on the former President and think more highly of him as a result. It is unclear if America will ever return to normal times with divisions now so deeply entrenched.
