Harris Oversees Smooth Jan. 6 As Trump Boasts Of The Crowd At His Pre-Coup Rally
HuffPost
Four years after his incitement of a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol, Trump still has shown no remorse about his conduct.
WASHINGTON ― Four years after inciting a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol that injured 140 police officers and led to the deaths of five officers and four of his own supporters, President-elect Donald Trump on Monday neither thanked Vice President Kamala Harris for overseeing a smooth election certification ceremony nor apologized for his own coup attempt last time.
Instead, he yet again boasted about how many of his followers responded to his call to come to Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, with a photo of the crowd that day, and inexplicably accused President Joe Biden of making the transition between his presidency and Trump’s “difficult.”
“Biden is doing everything possible to make the TRANSITION as difficult as as [sic] possible, from Lawfare such as has never been seen before, to costly and ridiculous Executive Orders on the Green New Scam and other money wasting Hoaxes,” Trump wrote in a social media post three hours after posting a photo of thousands of the followers he had assembled on the National Mall, between the Ellipse and the Washington Monument, four years earlier.
Trump’s transition team did not respond to HuffPost questions about his posts.
For several years, Trump has complained that although the news media covered the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, they never praised him for the size of the crowd he drew to take part. “You know the biggest crowd I’ve ever seen? January 6. And you never hear that,” he said at a Nevada rally in 2022.
