Trump Viciously Smears Capitol Police Who Fought Capitol Insurrectionists

Donald Trump is reportedly furious with the Capitol Police officers who testified before the Select Committee this past week, and he decided that the only way he could deal with his anger would be to viciously smear them with slurs. This is a clear sign of desperation, not just from Trump but from all the Republicans who are trying to attack the police officers. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Donald Trump is not happy. He is not happy with the four Capitol police officers who testified this week and, uh, basically blamed him for the Capitol riot. So according to reports that came out late this past week, Donald Trump lashed down at these officers and those that were around him said that he referred to them

As. Because obviously

If, if you've seen the testimony, if you've watched any of the clips, the officers talked about how frightened they were. We got to see the body cam footage of how psychotic, uh, these Trump supporters were. They told stories, the African-American officer told the story of how he was hit with all these racial slurs. And Trump's response to that

Is to call them a bunch of. Here's what's happening. Donald Trump is doing what so

Many other Republicans are doing as well. We've seen it with Laura Ingram on Fox news. We've seen it from other Fox news hosts. We've seen it from other Republicans in Congress. They are trying to paint these police officers as the incompetent ones, yo Ingram, literally telling people that, oh, well, the insurrection happened because the cops weren't prepared for it. If they done their jobs,

This wouldn't have happened all trying

To deflect the blame away from Donald Trump. And that's what Trump is lashing out about. He also, according to the reports said that these individuals who testified that day were pawns of Pelosi Pelosi hand, picked these individuals to go there and give the most damning testimony possible.

Whether

That's true or not. Honestly, at this point is irrelevant. Those were officers that were there that day. They were on the front lines. They experienced this first hand and they told their stories. What do you, do you want them to call the cop that was taking selfies with the insurrectionist? Do you remember that story or I'm sure Trump does because that's probably the guy that's going to go out there and say, no, they were loving us. They were hugging and kissing like Trump says,

But now the police officers are not the blame for

The January six insurrection. Nancy Pelosi is not the blame for the January 6th insurrection. And by the way, yes, that is another talking point that conservatives are thrown out, trying to blame Pelosi for it, for all kinds of reasons saying she didn't activate the national guard, even though she doesn't have the authority to do that saying that the Democrats normalized chaos and anarchy by supporting the black lives matters protests of the summer of 2020, uh, which for the record, most of them really didn't go out there and express any kind of support for that. Um, they should have, but

They didn't. And here we are today, these are desperate pleas, desperate cries from a desperate party. They

Know that that testimony that came out this week was devastating for Republicans devastating

For Donald Trump himself. So

They're all lashing out. They're all trying to blame the cops and they're going to continue doing that. Of course, until we get the next round of testimony from the next round

Of people, then there's going to be no attacks. You know, whoever

It's going to be that testifies next, they're going to be attacked

By Trump, by conservative media, by Republican

Politicians, they're going to be attacked.

And that's part of the plan for Republicans. Go out there

On the offensive right now and attack the people testifying. So maybe you can intimidate more people into not testifying. That's the bigger part of this plan. They're not only trying to shift and deflect the blame. They're trying to intimidate anyone

Else who might be thinking about testifying. That is what this is really about.
