Media and critics distort Trump’s role in DC protests

Removing Trump right now would light a fuse and endanger the Union, supporters like Rick Manning argue.

Read actual remarks President Trump gave to the DC Protestors that are being distorted and twisted for political purposes by the biased mainstream news media before Twitter censored the President in a political attempt to undermine his government

Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement cautioning against removing President Donald Trump from office in his final days, either by Congress or the Cabinet, as doing irreparable damage to the Union:

“Those who are seeking to politicize and exploit the tragic storming of the Capitol yesterday are playing a dangerous game. What happened yesterday was a national tragedy and must never happen again. Political violence can never be justified. Rather than further dividing the country more than it already is, it is time to help the country to heal and move forward so that the orderly transition of power can occur as it should. If Congress or the Cabinet were to even try, let alone succeed in removing President Trump from office in the final days of his term, millions of Americans will be disenfranchised, further dividing the nation and undermining the Union and lighting the fuse of a dangerous powder keg that may be impossible to snuff out. It is an abyss that must be avoided at all costs.

“Everyone is familiar with the Democrat axiom to never let a good crisis go to waste, let me be clear to everyone considering playing politics as usual, this is not a “good crisis” it is an existential threat. As DC politicians consider any rash, precipitous move, I would urge them to review the words that the President actually spoke at the rally on January 6, “We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated. I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” 

Prior to the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, at his national mall speech, President Trump explicitly called for protesters to be peaceful.

While people were still inside the Capitol at 3:13pm on Jan. 6, President Trump immediately denounced the violence and urged everyone to remain peaceful: “I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, We are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!”

Comment (1) on “Media and critics distort Trump’s role in DC protests”

  1. Ray Hanania says:
    January 11, 2021 at 5:01 pm

    President Trump should immediately pardon every police officer who has been convicted in a case involved a drug-addled, weapon carrying violent street gang member who refused to obey a direct police request to stop and be frisked …

    What they are saying about the protest in DC is a crime in and of itself

    And worse is that the only real coup taking place is the social media coup that is being enforced by Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, Google and Apple

    It’s terrible
