chump was revelling in the rally crowd pandemonium , who he knew were armed and get worked into a frenzy so he had the doors and windows opened so he could fully enjoy the start of the insurrection to overthrow american democracy and keep his worthless ass in power
Rachel Maddow highlighted that Republican Vice Chair Liz Cheney noted that it was then-Vice President Mike Pence who called for the military to defend the Capitol when it was under attack. Not Trump.
“Trump gave no order to deploy the National Guard that day, and made no effort to work with the Department of Justice to coordinate and deploy law enforcement assets,” Cheney said in early June. “But Mike Pence did each of those things.”
General Milley added that Pence was “very firm” in telling then-Secretary of Defense Chris Miller, “Get the military down here, get the guard down here, put down this situation.”
Part of what made this extraordinary was the degree
to which it casts Trump in an indefensible light:
The then-president could’ve called the Joint Chiefs
chairman and the Defense secretary, but he made
a conscious decision not to.
Trump's dereliction of duty couldn’t be more obvious.
