Trump Still Pushing Big Lie Six Months After Capitol Riot - The 11th Hour - MSNBC



The FBI is still releasing new shocking and violent videos from the Capitol riot six months after the insurrection. Meanwhile, Trump is back in front of the microphone at political rallies continuing to sell the lie that the 2020 election was stolen. We discuss that with Philip Rucker and A.B. Stoddard. Aired on 07/06/2021.

It will be expensive to defend himself in court so he needs to keep draining the savings of his followers to pay for his defense.

He's unable to sell his name anymore and anything he's tried in recent years was a colossal failure. He was never a "businessman," he was mainly the face of his father's company. When he tried on his own, that resulted in the failed casinos which even his wealthy father couldn't bail out. He's already had several bankruptcies and there's no one left willing to take a chance on him. I've long believed that the only reason he ran wasn't because he wanted or intended to do the job, but that he was just after the campaign contributions.

And did nothing but harm to this country, ignored a pandemic that was killing thousands of U.S. citizens, refused to address harm to our military, alienated every one of our long time allies, granted special favors to our greatest adversaries, reversed safety regulations and climate protections, chose unqualified individuals for important government posts - the list is so much longer, but I'm tired, especially of him.

I watch the cops just standing there and allowing themselves to be assaulted, and I picture how differently they would have responded if it had been BLM or Antifa.
It never ceases to amaze and disgust me what right wingers are consistently allowed to get away with in this country.
