As the Capitol insurrection was taking place on January 6 of this year, we now know, Donald Trump Jr. was feverishly texting then-Chief of Staff Mark Meadows in an attempt to have his father tell the rioters to stand down.
The Daily Beast notes:
“He’s got to condemn this shit ASAP,” Donald Trump Jr. texted Meadows. “The Capitol Police tweet is not enough.”
“I’m pushing it hard. I agree,” Meadows responded.
“We need an Oval Office address. He has to lead now. It has gone too far and gotten out of hand,” the president’s son responded.
An aide to Donald Trump Jr. declined to comment on the newly disclosed exchange, one of several with Meadows that Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), a member of the House select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 riot, read aloud at the meeting. Donald Trump Jr. texted Meadows “again and again,” according to Cheney.
The fact that Junior had to try and get a message to his own father via Mark Meadows led Ana Navarro, co-host of “The View” to troll the failed, one-term former president’s son on Twitter:
Exactly! Like Ana, I always knew I could call my father and he would be there for me. He even told his secretary: No matter how important of a meeting I might be in, if my wife or one of my son’s calls, let me know immediately. That’s what a good father does.
Of course, Junior’s old man has never been a good father. He cheated on the mothers of all his children and has been a serial philanderer his entire life. He doesn’t have time for anyone but himself and his own selfish needs.
The only thing Don Jr. shares with his dad is a name. But he has to communicate with him via underlings and sycophants. That’s downright pathetic.
