Perhaps sensing that his former boss might be in real trouble for instigating the riot, Mark Meadows went to Fox and lied about Trump’s response to it:
In an interview with Sean Hannity of Fox News, Meadows said the critics of Trump’s response to the attack, including the lawmakers on the special congressional committee investigating the siege, are merely longtime Trump adversaries attempting to rewrite history so that it “fits their narrative.”
“One of the things that is coming out more and more clearly each and every day is that everyone condemned what happened in terms of the breach of security on the Capitol on Jan. 6,” Meadows said.
He went on to argue that Trump had requested thousands of National Guard troops to be deployed on Jan. 6, suggesting the violence would have been prevented if only the Pentagon had complied. And he accused Democrats of cherry-picking the narrative of Trump’s actions that day “to spin some nefarious purpose.”
“At the end of the day, they’re going to find that not only did the president act, but he acted quickly,” Meadows told Hannity.
No. Nice try.
