It Happened - The Lincoln Project



We know what we saw. We know what we heard. It wasn't spontaneous. They came prepared for battle. Body armor, chemical weapons, zip ties. Their mission? To overturn an American election. We will never concede.

Outnumbered, brave law enforcement officers fought hand-to-hand to save our democracy. Many were wounded. One died the next day. Post-traumatic stress syndrome drove four January 6th heroes to suicide. Donald Trump calls this violent terrorism a day of love. That was a day of love.

He's promised to pardon these violent criminals. That's wrong. Evil. - Those people have suffered long and hard. Let me just- - And I think it's very unfair.

Don't let one man rewrite history. We know what we saw. We know what we heard. There are no alternative facts. Only the truth.

Because of Media all too many believed the election was stolen. Media did not flat out say it wasn’t stolen when the evidence was clear. Letting Trump’s many lies go unchallenged consistently is what is so terribly wrong in this country!!!

It doesn’t get any lower than this. Not holding him accountable was a crime against every citizen. Nothing can erase this. The lowest of low. This man is not fit to lead. We are rudderless as the gale approaches.

I would like to begin by addressing the heinous attack on the United States Capitol. Like all Americans I am outraged by the violence
lawlessness and mayhem. I immediately deployed the National Guard and federal law enforcement to secure the building and expel the intruders. America is and must always be a nation of law and order. The demonstrators who infiltrated the Capitol
have defiled the seat of American democracy. To those who engage in the acts of violence and destruction you do not represent our country and to those who broke the law you will pay....


We all knew when he said this it was all a pack of lies and he didn't mean it. But I will remember it when he lets those criminals go. I wish the media would remember it too.
