LurkerMom: In the video, Jacob Chansley, later dubbed the “Q Shaman,” reads a tweet from President Trump to the crowd outside the US Capitol and tells them to go home. Chansley added, “We are peaceful… We are not Antifa.”
Q Shaman Jacob Chansley: “We’re going to throw up the tweet. Donald Trump has asked everybody to go home.
No.
Trump let the insurrection rage for hours before he finally told his supporters to go home. Hours.
It wasn't until 6:01 PM, after almost all of his aides and many in his family begged him to tell the insurrectionists to go home, that he finally sent this tweet: "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!"
As the violence began to escalate, Scavino said Trump "was just not interested" in doing more to stop it.
And as the article posted upthread also pointed out, everyone around Trump believed that he was the only one who could get his supporters to leave the Capitol and that had he acted sooner, rioters would have gone home earlier. But again, as Scavino confirmed, Trump "was just not interested".
But, sure, keep shoveling that Gateway Pundit BS.
