They're going to show the video outtakes tonight. It sounds like Certain People in the administration would not allow Trump to say what he wanted to say. Who was controlling what the President could say?The outtakes, first reported by The Washington Post, were part of production of a speech Trump gave the night after the riot. They show Trump having a difficult time working through the effort to tape the message. Trump refused to say the election results had been settled and attempted to call the rioters patriots. He also went to great lengths to not accuse them of any wrongdoing.

Hey Seran, since you are such an avid FOX News watcher, did you see this the other day?
Still think this is anything more than a subversion of justice in the name of political corruption?
OH, and what is abstinence and how are Republicans trying to prevent it?

Ashli Babbitt's mother spoke to Rudy Giuliani on his podcast, released on Sunday, and claimed that her daughter is treated worse than a Black woman in America.
Aside from the racist claim, Babbitt joined a crowd of attackers in breaking through the windows and doors of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, marched through the halls of the Capitol, then directly to the outer office of the Speaker of the House, where she helped break out the glass with a Capitol Police officer standing with his gun drawn. She chose to go through the window anyway.
Even Rep. Markwayne Mullin, R-Ohio, a far-right supporter of Donald Trump told Good Morning America, the officer "didn't have a choice at that time. They were trying to come through the front door, which is where I was at in the chamber, and in the back, they were trying to come through the speaker's lobby, and that's problematic when you're trying to defend two fronts."

Here is a bit of violent video of Babbitt being shot.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjscskqLx0U
The below is part of an article from 2021..
Former President Trump issued a statement Wednesday criticizing law enforcement who responded to the Capitol insurrection and praising Ashli Babbitt, who was fatally shot while participating in the riot.
Why it matters: Babbitt was one of five people to die as a result of the Jan. 6 Capitol attack that caused some $500 million in damage to the building and resulted in the arrests of hundreds of people.
The Justice Department found insufficient evidence to support criminal prosecution against the officer who shot Babbitt in a shoulder as she tried to enter the Speaker's Lobby through a door's broken window.
What he's saying: "I spoke to the wonderful mother and husband of Ashli Babbitt, who was murdered at the hands of someone who should have never pulled the trigger of his gun," Trump said in an emailed statement to news outlets calling for "justice."
"If this happened to the 'other side,' there would be riots all over America, and yet there are far more people represented by Ashli, who truly loved America, than there are on the other side."

What did Trump mean by the "other side"?
“She chose to go through the window anyway.”
I remember how the worst of the worst of the PC gave me shit for saying she was murdered for the crime of climbing through a window, and here is Salon, about as far left as you can get, pretty much coming right out and admitting that was her only crime.
Oh wait no! She also “marched through the halls of congress.”
When even Salon of all “news” outlets can’t spin her actions worse than that then you know this was flat out murder.
Giuliani and Trump have been trying to get a rewrite the history of the coup attempt they manufactured since the day it happened. No surprise that the rabid woman was put down trying to protect the lives of the members of Congress they were protecting. Even less of a surprise that the fascist right is trying their best to make her a martyr.

I just want you all to remember how low the bar has now been lowered. Police are free to shoot unarmed people for merely walking through a window.
I don't want to hear none of this shit that cops are murderous thugs because they shot someone who pointed a loaded firearm at them.
I think video and photographic evidence says she wasn't walking through a window randomly. There was a yelling mob of idiots around her rushing congress. From inside the room, I'm sure it felt like everyones lives were in jeopardy.
I don't know if you are intentionally minimizing it or are blinded by your views.
