Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (California) on Sunday accused Donald Trump of “intentional attempt.” Accelerated violence “He was raging in the Capitol on January 6, 2021, in a reckless attempt to oust his vice president, Mike Pence.
Lofgren, a member of the House Select Committee investigating the uprising, tweeted that the former president sent Pence even though Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Former White House aides testified at a House committee hearing last week that Trump was called to send a message to suppress the violence. But instead he tweeted in the midst of an uprising that Pence “didn’t have the guts to do what he should have done”-referring to Pence’s refusal to vote in favor of Joe Biden.
“When he tweeted that he was attacking his vice president, he already knew there was violence,” Lofgren told CBS television: “Face the Country.” “The only conclusion that can be drawn is that he would have intensified the violence against the former vice president.”
Former president Mary Trump’s niece, in an interview last week, accused her uncle of “sentenced Pence to death” and said Pence’s murder could help Trump justify declaring martial law. .
Similarly, former Deputy Attorney General Harry Litman on Saturday accused MSNBC of supporting Trump supporters in a “killer rage” as part of a “conspiracy” against Pence.
Lofgren also accused Trump of inciting a massive illegal and violent culture in America today. He referred to “very conservative” lawmaker Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas), who was insulted by Republican extremists in Houston on Saturday at a Republican Party convention in Houston and “beaten”.
“I think this is what the former president lost here,” he added.
