Well, this certainly tells a different story, doesn’t it? Post-insurrection, Junior and Fox News, and a great many Republicans downplayed the attack on the Capitol on January 6, but newly revealed texts tell another tale altogether. Some of Thing 45’s most rabid lapdogs, Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity and Brian Kilmeade, all sent texts to the former guy’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, begging, pleading, demanding that Thing 45 condemn riot and ask the traitors to stop. Junior, who has since acted like the riots were nothing much at all texted:
"He's got to condemn this shit ASAP. The Capitol Police tweet is not enough." Liz Cheney, vice chair of the January 6 Committee, read Junior’s words to the world, and then followed up with others, like this from Fox News’ Laura Ingraham:
"Mark, the president needs to tell people in the Capitol to go home. This is hurting all of us. He is destroying his legacy." Of note, is that Ingraham is only concerned about Thing 45’s legacy, not the threats of murder against Pelosi or Pence, or destruction of our Capitol building. In the months followed, Ingraham attacked the accounts of Capitol officers who risked their lives that day, describing their testimony before Congress as "theatrics" and presenting mock awards like "Best Use of Tears and Dramatic Pauses" and "Best Use of Exaggeration" after they testified about the violence at the Capitol. But on that day she was begging for someone to stop it, and if it wasn’t a big deal, if it was nothing, why bother Eva, er, Laura? And then we have Fox News’ Sean Hannity, a fierce supporter and unpaid advisor to Thing 45 who also texted Meadows:
"Can he make a statement, ask people to leave the Capitol?" And yet eleven months later, interviewing Thing 45, whipping boy Hannity defended the former guy’s actions that day and attacked the January 6 committee:
"It seems to me that the committee has a pre-determined conclusion, outcome,, and that is to once again try to bludgeon you." A month later Mark Meadows slithered over to Hannity’s show and the two men once again defended Thing 45’s actions; neither mentioned Hannity’s texts. In fact, Hannity actually said:
"This is the same [Thing 45] that said, 'Many of you will peacefully and patriotically march to the Capitol so your voices may be heard.'' Then why beg him to stop it, Sean? If it was all so peaceful, why? And then we have Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade who also texted Meadows:
"Please get him on TV. [They’re] destroying everything you have accomplished." And yet today, Fox News plays up the riot and a tourist event, a peaceful demonstration, just a few disgruntled voters exercising their Freedom of Speech. Or, just in case you’ve seen two seconds of the attack that day, then Fox News and Junior tried to tell you it was antifa or BLM dressed as MAGAts causing all the trouble. But, again, if it was all so peaceful and lovely, then why beg the traitorous Thing 45 to make it stop? Yesterday, the committee unanimously recommended that the House vote to hold Mark Meadows in contempt for his refusal to testify before them. The House is expected to consider the matter on Tuesday. And Fox News has yet to respond to those texts from their “news” people.
