On the anniversary of the January 6 Capitol incident, Hillary Clinton launched a verbal assault on President Trump and his supporters.
According to Gateway Pundit, Clinton accused Trump of inciting the attack on Congress, stating, Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured.
She further claimed, Trump then pardoned the attackers, and added, He betrayed his oath and his country, and we wont ever forget it. These assertions, however, are disputed by many who argue that President Trump never encouraged violence.
In his speech on January 6, 2021, President Trump urged his supporters to peacefully and patriotically protest, a point often overlooked by his critics. The President has taken legal action against the BBC, seeking $10 billion in damages for defamation after they allegedly altered his speech to suggest he incited violence.
As reported by The Telegraph, an internal memo from a whistleblower indicated that the BBC doctored the speech, making it appear as though Trump instructed his followers to fight like hell.
The narrative that President Trump incited the Capitol riot is challenged by those who argue that his words were misrepresented. Supporters of Trump have called for accountability, with some suggesting that he should pursue legal action against Hillary Clinton for her statements.
The ongoing debate highlights the deep divisions in the political landscape, with each side steadfast in its interpretation of the events surrounding January 6.
