The Harris campaign is reacting to Trump’s comments at Univision Town Hall Wednesday in which he called the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol a “day of love.”
This is what he said:
“Some of those people went down to the Capitol peacefully and patriotically. Nothing done wrong at all. Nothing done wrong. Action was taken. Strong action. Ashli Babbitt. was killed,” he said, referring to one individual who was killed after entering the Capitol. “Nobody was killed. There were no guns down there. We didn’t have guns. The others had guns, but we didn’t have guns. … But that was a day of love.”
A terse statement from the Democrats in response:
‘Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, and he refused to accept the will of the people and the results of a free and fair election,” Harris said at the campaign event. “He sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol, where they violently assaulted law enforcement officers, and threatened the life of his own vice president. And he refused to engage in the peaceful transfer of power.”
