McCarthy, who still voted to block certification of the Electoral College mind you, was on the call and had to tell him it "was MAGA" and he knew because he was there. ~~~ Also, an extremely damning report on what Trump was doing during the insurrection as it happened by WaPo: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-mob-failure/2021/01/11/36a46e2e-542e-11eb-a817-e5e7f8a406d6_story.html Select Excerpts: Washington Post reports... But as senators and House members trapped inside the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday begged for immediate help during the siege, they struggled to get through to the president, who -- safely ensconced in the West Wing -- was too busy watching fiery TV images of the crisis unfolding around them to act or even bother to hear their pleas. "He was hard to reach, and you know why? Because it was live TV," said one close Trump adviser. "If it's TiVo, he just hits pause and takes the calls. If it's live TV, he watches it, and he was just watching it all unfold." McCarthy eventually reached Trump, but later told allies that he found the president distracted. So McCarthy repeatedly appeared on television to describe the mayhem, an adviser said, in an effort to explain just how dire the situation was. But the twitter message was insufficient, and the president had not wanted to include the final instruction to "stay peaceful," according to one person familiar with the discussions. At one point, Trump worried that the unruly group was frightening GOP lawmakers from doing his bidding and objecting to the election results, an official said. Trump aides did three takes of the video and chose the most palatable option -- despite some West Wing consternation that the president had called the violent protesters "very special." His calls for healing and reconciliation were more than a day too late, many aides said. Yet as Trump watched the media coverage of his video, he grew angry. The president said he wished he hadn't done it, a senior White House official said, because he feared that the calming words made him look weak. Final two excerpts obviously refer to the two different videos, with the one Trump regretting being the one on Thursday where he said there'd be a transition to a new administration. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:949407370] in Politics C...
