Isn't this something they are on time and in line for something that was their fault. Hmmmm

MAGA

Where were these motorcades during the uprising?

What about the unarmed Veteran that was shot dead?

ew

How does the President plea as a possible accomplice for inciting the insurrection that led to his killing?

Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund and Senate sergeant-at-arms Michael Stenger should be charged with criminal negligence, not just be fired or be allowed to resign

the blames lands squarely at Donald J trumps feet.

They did murder him this was no accident, starting with Trump!!

His family should file a civil lawsuit for wrongful death against realDonaldTrump and every single Republican that incited the insurrection that ultimately led to his death. Unacceptable.

FU White House.

What about the four other deaths they caused

Weird Trump doesn’t tweet this himself

Is that like (disingenuously) saying I'm sorry I murdered you?

U killed him. You have blood on your hands

they killed him by in-sighting the violence and now is giving thoughts and prayers. These people are sick.

How bout the idiot that caused it, do it live and not some pre scripted video

MURDERERS!!! ARREST THEM ALL NOW!!!

HIS FAULT!!!😡😡😡😡

The death which TRUMP is responsible for!

Thoughts and prayers, again? Really? How about not inciting violence in the first place WhiteHouse GOP realDonaldTrump

'Sorry we directly caused it and shit, but narcissism and delusions of grandeur are a bitch'

Prison for all of you. Blood is on your hands.
