Trump Condemns Violence But Takes No Responsibility For Mob He Incited | Talking Points Memo

In his first public remarks after the House voted to impeach him for the second time, President Trump said in a video message that “no true supporter of mine could ever endorse political violence,” ignoring the fact that he incited the mob that stormed the Capitol last week in an attack that left five people dead.

I wonder what the blooper reel version looks like.
Definitely filmed earlier, while he still had Hope in the White House.

“I don’t take responsibility at all,” Trump said defiantly, pointing to an unspecified “set of circumstances” and “rules, regulations and specifications from a different time.”

Oh, wait, that was for the pandemic.

Yeah, ignore everything all these movements have been saying publicly for a couple of years. Just locker room talk, right?

“no true supporter of mine could ever endorse political violence,”

This is why he won’t pardon them. He has convinced himself that those involved weren’t actually his supporters, that they were secret Antifa wearing his supporters faces. That’s actually a good thing because maybe we’ll get some justice against these people.

Actually, that was for anything that went wrong. The same party that claimed to for personal responsibility, family values elected this incredibly incompetent man to be their standard bearer.

One would have thought that today the GOP would have voted to impeach djt to put this stain behind them. HINT: The Trump stain can’t be washed off. It will always be with you.

If he hated the violence so much, why was he glued to multiple TV screens, gleeful at what he was seeing and confused why more around him weren’t as excited as he was?

No, what he condemns is the future of accountability which started today with his SECOND impeachment.

I delight in knowing how much his misses his beloved Twitter account!

:joy:

The no true president adopts the no true Scotsman fallacy to deny the acts of his no true American supporters.

“Violence and vandalism have absolutely no place in our country and our movement.”

Fuck you, you criminal sonofabitch!

I will await your response on Twitter.

Now they just need to contrive some Antifa of BLM violence and everything will be OK because Biden endorses BLM so “both sides do it”.
Why you picking on me? Guaranteed.
