GOPer blames 'both sides' after Trump glorifies Jan. 6 defendants at Texas rally

By David Edwards
Published March 26, 2023

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) said "both sides" were to blame after former President Donald Trump glorified Jan. 6 defendants at a rally in Waco, Texas over the weekend.

In an interview on CBS News, host Margaret Brennan pointed to Trump's Saturday rally in Waco.

"When he walked on stage, he played a recording made by some of those who are being prosecuted for attacking the Capitol on January 6th," Brennan said. "He also had footage seeming to glorify the attack that day. He's calling for protests. He said things like death and destruction if he's indicted."

"I know you've supported him in the past," she added. "Do you support statements like this?"

Well first of all Brennan should have played a clip of his fucking hero telling the entire world that he was going to walk with them up to the capital to throw out all of the electoral votes and asked him did he fear for his life.....then Brennan should have said dude, how much do you make as a Congressman saying that BS and then asked him to leave. after he said it was great to have the same guy back in Texas basically inciting more insurrection.....sounds like he supports fascism authoritarian rule...

why didn't she insist on an answer? Why waste your breath and your viewers' time with a question in the first place if you're going to just let him ignore it and talk about something else?

Makes you wonder who trained these "jourmalists"? She's just taking up space.
