In a recent interview on NBC's "Meet the Press," President-elect Donald Trump made a bold statement regarding the members of the January 6 committee.
He expressed his belief that all of them should be incarcerated for their actions.
According to Breitbart, the conversation unfolded as follows:
TRUMP: "And Cheney was behind it and so was Bennie Thompson and everybody on that committee "
KRISTEN WELKER: "Were going to "
TRUMP: "For what they did "
TRUMP: " honestly, they should go to jail."
KRISTEN WELKER: "So you think Liz Cheney should go to jail?"
PRES.-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: "For what they did "
KRISTEN WELKER: "Everyone on the committee you think "
TRUMP: "I think everybody "
WELKER: " should go to jail?"
TRUMP: " on the anybody that voted in favor "
WELKER: "Are you going to direct your FBI director "
TRUMP: "No."
WELKER: " and your attorney general to send them to jail?"
TRUMP: "No, not at all. I think that theyll have to look at that, but Im not going to Im going to focus on drill, baby, drill."
The President-elect's comments reflect a strong critique of the committee's actions, suggesting a potential conflict between the incoming administration and the committee. However, when asked if he would direct his FBI director and attorney general to take action, Trump clarified that he would not. Instead, he emphasized his focus on energy policy, encapsulated in his phrase, "drill, baby, drill." This statement underscores his commitment to traditional energy sources, a stance that aligns with conservative values of free-market economics and limited government intervention.
