Trump Shows No Contrition for Inciting Capitol Riots

“President Trump on Tuesday showed no contrition or regret for instigating the mob that stormed the Capitol and threatened the lives of members of Congress and his vice president, saying that his remarks to a rally beforehand were ‘totally appropriate’ and that the effort by Congress to impeach and convict him was ‘causing tremendous anger,'” the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Trump’s defiance came despite near universal condemnation of his role in stoking the assault on the Capitol, including from within his own administration and some of his closest allies on Capitol Hill.”
