Trump wanted National Guard to protect rioters, NOT Congress.

Overlooked Shocker:

Trump Acting Defense Secretary Miller Testified Wednesday That Trump Wanted the National Guard to Protect the Insurrectionists, Not the Capitol and Members of Congress!

Wednesday marked an inflection point for Trump’s “Big Lie.” However, whether it is the beginning or the end of the gaslighting of America into a totalitarian dictatorship remains to play itself out.

Most notably, the corporate media and many progressive outlets failed to headline the shocking admission by former Trump Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller (assigned in the last few weeks of the Trump reign to facilitate the coup attempt). Miller stated matter-of-factly to a Congressional committee that Trump was aware of the need for the National Guard, but that Trump was only interested in having the Guard protect the “Constitutional rights” of the protesters (insurrectionists).

According to Miller, Trump said "do whatever was necessary to protect the demonstrators that were executing their constitutionally protected rights." That’s right, Trump wasn’t interested in protecting elected officials in the Capitol, just his cult followers.



Snip...

McCarthy also made his mark on Wednesday by sending out e-mail donation text requests after a “bipartisan” meeting with President Biden, McConnell and Pelosi that read, "It's Kevin McCarthy. I just met with Corrupt Joe Biden and he's STILL planning to push his radical Socialist agenda onto the American people."
