Preview For This Week's Top 10 Conservative Idiots
Former President Donald Trump on Sunday widely praised those who attended the Jan. 6 rally that preceded the insurrection at the Capitol, repeatedly using the word love to describe the tone of the event.
Echoing his rhetoric about the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., Trump said, These were peaceful people, these were great people.
Speaking on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel, he also said the rally participants were patriots, that some of them were unjustly arrested and jailed, and that a woman who was shot and killed by law enforcement during the insurrection was a great hero.
The remarks reflected recent efforts by Trump and his supporters to cast themselves as the aggrieved parties from the Jan. 6 riot, which left five people dead and others injured and, for a brief time, halted the wheels of democracy as President-elect Joe Bidens victory over Trump in the Electoral College was being confirmed by Congress.
