Addressing what is arguably the most authoritarian friendly demographic in the country, ‘Christian’ Nationalists, Trump spoke in fond terms about the Capitol rioters, then declared “I will be looking them very, very seriously for pardons, very, very seriously”. Yes pardons for his easily deluded thugs who violently attacked the Capitol at his urging, to stage a coup, and destroy our Constitutional Republic. All in favor of installing Trump as Dictator for Life. No doubt his adoring audience would welcome such a prospect.
Here is Mr. Trump flagrantly thumbing his nose at the Rule of Law, right in the middle of the Select Committee hearings. And those hearings are showing Americans how vicious, and violent the mob that attacked the Capitol Police really was. Trump is defiantly showing Americans that he considers himself and his cult members to be above all laws of the United States.
Trump is telling America he intends to dismantle the Rule of Law, no doubt along with American democracy.
Here is the Select Committee’s new video of the January 6th riot.
