Sit down for this one.
The conservative, pro-Trump New York post just turned against the former President.
After Thursday’s Jan 6 Committee hearing the Post wrote:
“And he (Trump) was the only person who could stop what was happening. He was the only one the crowd was listening to. It was incitement by silence.
Trump only wanted one thing during that infamous afternoon: to pressure Vice President Mike Pence to decertify the election of Joe Biden. “
Robert Murdoch, who has long supported Trump, called on the past President to “give it up” and concede defeat, words Trump doesn’t want to hear as he continues to cry election fraud.
In summation, the Post wrote that Trump is “unworthy to be this country’s chief executive again.”
And the Wall Street Journal called him ‘The President Who Stood Still on Jan. 6″ and praised VP Pence, writing “Character is revealed in a crisis, and Mr. Pence passed his Jan. 6 trial. Mr. Trump utterly failed his.”
Even FOX News has stopped airing Trump’s self-serving rallies, instead, interviewing Ron DeSantis this weekend.
More from the Post:
He thought the violence of his loyal followers would make Pence crack, or delay the vote altogether.
To his eternal shame, as appalled aides implored him to publicly call on his followers to go home, he instead further fanned the flames by tweeting: “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution.”
His only focus was to find any means — damn the consequences — to block the peaceful transfer of power.
There is no other explanation, just as there is no defense, for his refusal to stop the violence.
Trump’s silence on Jan. 6 is damning
