Socialites, get a load of this! During a town hall hosted by Univision, former President Donald Trump was asked by a Republican voter to address his inaction on January 6th, and he provided yet another shocking but not-so-shocking response.
Ramiro Gonzalez, a voter who attended the Univision town hall, expressed several concerns, including the insurrection. He stated, “I am a Republican no longer registered. Your inaction during your presidency was a little disturbing to me… January 6th, the fact that you waited so long to take action while your supporters were attacking the Capitol… Coronavirus, I thought the public was misled and many more lives could’ve been saved… Your own VP doesn’t want to support you.” When asked how he could potentially win back the support of a former supporter, Trump replied,
“They came because of the election. They thought the election was a rigged election, that’s why they came,” Mr. Trump said in response to the January 6 insurrection topic. “Some of those people went down to the Capitol. I said, ‘peacefully and patriotically.’ Nothing done wrong, at all, nothing done wrong. Action was taken, strong action. Ashli Babbitt was killed, nobody was killed,” Mr. Trump stated. He continued, “That was a day of love from the standpoint of the millions — it’s like, hundreds of thousands — it could have been the largest group I’ve ever spoken before.”
Reacting to his comments, which have once again gone viral, his opponent Kamala Harris took to Twitter this Thursday morning and said,
“Donald Trump incited an attack on our nation’s democracy because he didn’t like the outcome of the election.” She added, “If January 6 was a bridge too far, there is a place for you in our campaign.”

More On On January 6, 2021:
As we previously reported, On January 6, 2021, things got wild at the U.S. Capitol. A mob of Trump supporters stormed the building, trying to overturn the election results. They believed the big lie that the election was stolen from Trump. This chaotic scene was not just a protest gone wrong; it was a full-blown attack that disrupted the certification of President Biden’s victory and left the nation in shock. With rioters breaking windows and clashing with police, it was a stark moment that highlighted deep divisions in the country.
In the aftermath, Trump faced some serious backlash. He was impeached for the second time, charged with inciting the insurrection, though he was ultimately acquitted by the Senate. The fallout didn’t stop there—he was banned from major social media platforms, which left a major dent in his ability to communicate with his supporters. The whole ordeal tarnished his legacy and raised questions about his future in politics, leaving many wondering if this was the end of the line for his brand of leadership.
This has been a big focus point in his campaign with many people still believing his actions don’t make him fit to become the president for a second term.
