Black peoples existance: threat Storming the capitol with intention of kidnapping, ransom and murdering senators: ZeRo ThReAt 🤡

Ah, the appeal to anonymity fallacy that FOX loves. 'Some people are saying...' 'Some of the treasonous seditionists were harmless...'

They literally killed a man and threatened to kill others, including then-Vice President Pence. A more accurate (and reusable) headline would be, “Trump makes another ridiculous public statement with no basis in fact.”

Just like BLM eh Guardian?

Yes...like every other person of color with no fire arms as well. Yes of course!

Zero threat and yet 5 people died.

His behavior suggests profound mental instability. We all know that eh?

Trump & Melania quietly get vaccines whilst banging on that COVID19 was a hoax, suggesting people ingest bleach, and that there were 'very fine people' after Charlottesville. Look - if he wants to stay in the News fine but keep his lies in the News too.🤨

O

Five people died. Vice President Pence and many U.S. Representatives were targeted for execution. An attempt was made to overthrow our government. Donald Trump was responsible.

More trumpLies trumpchaos as he tries to stay relevant 🙄

The ones who posed 'zero threat' are the ones who went to the rally, clapped their hands & hollered a bit and the went back to their hotels.

Whilst some took part with the expressed intention of killing 'lawmakers'. Question is how will Donald Trump be able to say which is which? loadsatwaddle

If he say so. It must be true. 🙄

Has been

Threat to the nation. No. They weren’t some powerful figure.

Really?

I thought they recalled him as a faulty model? turn him off

On looking into the statement more closely yes the “some” is definitely a correct choice. Definitely some of them were no threat but all those around those ‘some’ were those 100% threat group.

Who gives a fck what Trump says on anything. Period.

Bulshit as soon as those people cross that barrier that said do not enter Capitol grounds then everybody on those grounds becomes a threat

So maybe they should have answered a questionnaire on the way in: 'Do you pose a threat to your system of government? Yes or No?' Maybe ask the ones with the wrist ties as well.

Yeah but it's the other ones people are bothered about Donnie...

'Some'

'fine people, some of them' - where have we heard that before. Thing is, he doesn't need *all* of his fan base to be violent. It is enough for him that sufficient numbers are violent (to act as threat) while maintaining deniability (not all of them). And...he did incite them.

La minaccia più grande è lui, poi irragionevoli fanno quello che li ordina.

Hugging and Kissing in a pandemic ? I give up.

Ok, that’s alright then Donny .....

Zero threat that's total bullshit people were killed stop talking about the moron and throw his ass in prison

Who cares what he had to say?

He means 'prosecuted' but his command of the English language was never very good 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

And? Let’s be thankful they didn’t kill anyone? There was enough of his fans there causing chaos to make up for the lookie lou’s

Who rattled his cage?

GodBlessPresidentTrump DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

And they totally negate the ones beating police with fence posts.

Something about Biden's fake press conference, please The Guardian. And about the virus, please. Or are you interested no more?

Is he awake again?

Friends they were on Capitol Hill garden walk to greet Joe Biden's n Congratulate new President that's what Donald Trump means pl understand

Why is he even a story now? Unless he’s being charged and arrested I don’t want to see or hear his name again.

Some? Makes me feel so much better.

So what? Most of the peeps. that turned up at the Capitol posed zero threat. Also, you're being disingenuous with this: 'Capitol rioters' and you know it. He is correct, you are lying to make it look as though he said something he didn't. You are fake news.

let him bring them to his golf resorts and hotels and we will see how long it takes for them to wreck the place

I'm sure some of them posed zero threat. But the ones that breached the security perimeters and attacked the police while looking for legislators posed all kind of threats!
