Eric Trump Thought Post Election Violence Was ‘Fair Game’

According to documentarian Alex Holder, Eric Trump believed that political violence after the 2020 election was "fair game" because he believed that the election was stolen. Holder made this revelation on Monday, and he said that while Eric didn't believe people would turn violent, he also didn't appear to see any problem if that were to happen. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses these new revelations.

Alex Holder, the documentarian who of course followed the Trump family around from September of 2020, all the way through the January 6th insurrection has come forward and said that Eric Trump, the idiot fail son of the former president believed that violence on January 6th was in fact as Mr. Holder put it himself fair game. Now again, before I read this quote from holder, it's important to remember that this man spent months with the Trump family from September through at least January of 2020, he interviewed each and every one of these people, he was right there at the heart of all of this all set up by the way, by Jared Kushner. So thank you, Jared, for this, all of this information of course has also been turned over to the January 6th select committee. But here is what Mr. Holder had to say in an interview, uh, with the independent over in the UK, when I asked Eric about the potential danger of sort of rhetoric and the sort of the belligerent, he felt that it was fair game and that it was sort of the equivalent on the other side of the political discourse, or he felt that it was the right thing to do because the election was stolen.

Now what Mr. Holder is describing here. Of course, if, if it is accurate and I have no reason to doubt him, I'm sure, you know, if he said these kinds of things, he probably has it on, on tape. What he's describing, however, is not actually a crime let's I, I just have to be, you know, crystal clear about that. We're not accusing Eric Trump of committing any kind of crime. What we're accusing him of is being an absolutely deplorable human being. There was no violence coming from the left, you know, for him to say like, well, I mean the other side, the other side, wasn't doing anything. The other side was preparing their transition team to take over with a new administration because your side lost your dad is a loser. That's what was happening, Eric. It was your side. It was the, the language that your dad was using, that his allies were using. It was the lies that they were pushing that sparked the violence and all of those little idiot, right? Wing Grifters, who went right along with it, you know, putting together that stop the steel rally and all of that. They did this without any kind of amalgam on the left. They did it because they were either believing a lie or they thought they could make a lot of money off the people who believed the lie.

So these statements from Eric Trump, while disturbing, while truly showing us what a horrendous human being he is, they're not illegal. But I do think if the committee does have footage of Eric, Trump saying these things, again, this actually came from holder in an interview with the independent in UK. These are not direct quotes from Eric Trump, but if there are direct quotes from Eric Trump, you know, saying this or saying something similar, I do hope the committee shares those with the country. Again, it's not gonna prove any criminal wrongdoing, but it is gonna show the entire world just how to disgusting this entire Trump family truly is. And yeah, believe it or not. There's still plenty of people in this country and abroad who don't quite understand that yet.
