‘Deeply Confused’ Trump Accuses Nikki Haley Of Being To Blame For Jan. 6

Speaking in Concord, New Hampshire on Friday, failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump confused former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley with Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi, stated that Haley had been offered thousands of troops on January 6, 2021, and was to blame for the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Trump suggested that Haley was unable to draw more than “nine people” to her rallies in the Granite State. But it was what he said next that has led to suggestions the ex-president is suffering from dementia.

“By the way, they never report the crowd on Jan. 6. You know Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley. You know they – do you know they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything, deleted and destroyed all of it. All of it.”

“Because of lots of things like Nikki Haley is in charge of security — we offered her 10,000 people, soldiers, National Guards, whatever they want. They turned it down. They don’t want to talk about that. These are very dishonest people.”

Trump has said on several occasions that he offered thousands of troops to protect the Capitol on Jan. 6, but has never proven he actually did.

The Associated Press notes that Drew Hammill, a spokesperson for Pelosi, remarked last year that the former House speaker “was no more in charge of Capitol security than Mitch McConnell was.”

“This is a clear attempt to whitewash what happened on January 6th and divert blame.”

Twitter/X users suggested that Trump cannot “identify a fucking whale” and speculated about what is causing the ex-president’s rapid mental deterioration.

Biden Uses Don Jr’s Own Words To Fact-Check Him When He Calls Jan. 6 A ‘Fake Insurrection’

Like his father, Donald Trump Jr. suffers from acute verbal diarrhea, spewing fact-free nonsense and assorted conspiracy theories that have no basis in reality.

So it should come as no surprise that Don Jr. happily proclaimed this week that the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol was fake insurrection and the “feds” were acting as “tour guides” as rioters stormed the seat of government and attacked anyone who got in their way, resulting in the deaths of at least five people.

Those comments were quickly picked up by the Biden-Harris 2024 campaign and turned back on Junior in a devastating fact-check that was posted on Twitter/X. Best of all, the retort from the Biden campaign only had to use Don Jr’s own words to prove what a enormous lie he had just spewed.

With text messages Junior sent to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, the Biden-Harris team made it clear that the disgraced ex-president’s son certainly thought Jan. 6 was a problem.

Others on social media then joined the conversation.

Here’s another way Junior is just like his father: He lies more often than he breathes.

J6 Rioter Gets Hit With Internet Karma When She Whines About Her Upcoming Prison Stint

Rachel Powell is a mother of eight from Western Pennsylvania who showed up at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 and was later dubbed the “Bullhorn Lady” for her use of a megaphone as she took part in the violent insurrection that left five people dead.

NBC reported this about Powell’s actions:

“Powell was found guilty on a variety of charges, including felony counts of interfering with officers performing their duties and obstruction of an official proceeding.”

In less than two weeks, Powell will head to federal prison to begin serving a 51-month prison sentence which will be followed by 36 months on probation.

Rather than accept her penalty and serve her time, Powell decided to go on Twitter/X and whine, posting this:

Well, boo freaking hoo! Sounds like Ms. Powell is in the “find out” phase of “fuck around and find out.” But she’s the one who showed up and broke the law, so now she has to face the consequence, which is something pro-Trumpers never seem to understand. In that regard, they’re just like their orange savior.

But while Powell thought her pity party would elicit sympathy, it resulted in her being subjected a lot of online karma and mockery. Take a look:

Chilling New J6 Video Shows Rioter Remarking, ‘They Can Only Kill So Many Of Us’

New video taken by a January 6 rioter shows a dramatic confrontation between people who stormed the Capitol on that fateful day and confronted two Republican members of Congress.

The footage, which was obtained by NBC News via an open records request, is some of the most harrowing yet seen by the American public.

According to NBC:

The 8-minute video, shot by Capitol rioter Damon Beckley and introduced as evidence ahead of his sentencing, was released to the media coalition late Friday in response to a request from NBC News. Federal prosecutors are seeking more than three years in federal prison for Beckley, and his sentencing has now been rescheduled for Feb. 9. 

In a tense moment, Beckley is told by Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX), who served as a sheriff before being elected to the Congress, “I’ve been in law enforcement in Texas for 30 years, and I’ve never had people act this way. I’m ashamed!”

Another portion of the video shows Beckely noting, “I drove fourteen hours to get here and stood in the cold for three and a half hours to find out that Mike Pence is a f—— traitor, man. And I voted for that f—— dude. He could’ve done the right thing and certified those legislators, electors, and we wouldn’t be standing here with a nine-millimeter pointed at me right now!” 

A second rioter remarks, “We’re real American citizens, and we’re sick of this. We’re making it known that we’re sick of it.”

Another rioter is heard telling someone, “They can only kill so many of us.”

During a speech he made Friday to commemorate the third anniversary of the Capitol insurrection which left 10 people dead, President Joe Biden said:

“This is the first national election since January 6th insurrection placed a dagger at the throat of American democracy — since that moment.  We all know who Donald Trump is.  The question we have to answer is: Who are we?  That’s what’s at stake. Who are we?”

Liz Cheney Has The Perfect Clapback To Trump’s Latest J6 Conspiracy Theory

It took former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) just a few lines on social media to completely destroy failed former president Donald Trump’s latest nonsensical conspiracy theory regarding the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and her response is almost guaranteed to enrage the Donald.

Trump is now claiming that Cheney and the January 6 House Select Committee of destroying evidence that would prove he didn’t play any role in the Capitol insurrection.

On Monday, Trump posted a bizarre alternative reality blast on his failing Truth Social site.

“Why did American disaster Liz Cheney, who suffers from TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome), and was defeated for Congress by the largest margin for a sitting Congressman or Congresswoman in the history of our Country, ILLEGALLY DELETE & DESTROY most of the evidence, and related items, from the January 6th Committee of Political Thugs and Misfits. THIS ACT OF EXTREME SABOTAGE MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR MY LAWYERS TO PROPERLY PREPARE FOR, AND PRESENT, A PROPER DEFENSE OF THEIR CLIENT, ME. All of the information on Crazy Nancy Pelosi turning down 10,000 soldiers that I offered to to guard the Capitol Building, and beyond, is gone. The ridiculous Deranged Jack Smith case on Immunity, which the most respected legal minds in the Country say I am fully entitled to, is now completely compromised and should be thrown out and terminated, JUST LIKE THE RADICAL LEFT LUNATICS DID TO THE EVIDENCE!”

As with nearly everything Trump says, his latest bullshit claim has already been thoroughly debunked by the Washington Post on two separate occasions, with the Post noting:

As we have documented before, President Donald Trump never requested 10,000 National Guard troops to secure the Capitol that day. He threw out a number, in casual conversation, that is now regarded by his supporters as a lifeline to excuse his inaction when a mob inspired by his rhetoric invaded the Capitol.

Cheney had the perfect response to Trump’s nonsense.

Other Twitter/X users then joined the ridicule.

Trump sounds terrified, and he should be. Special Counsel Jack Smith has the goods on him.
