In a scathing post on his Truth Social platform on December 24, 2023, Donald Trump unleashed a barrage of criticism against the January 6th Committee, characterizing its members as “political hacks & thugs.” Trump raised a serious accusation, alleging that the committee engaged in illegal activities by deleting and destroying all the evidence they purportedly used to craft their report on the events of January 6th, 2021.
The former president expressed indignation over what he perceived as a deliberate omission in the committee’s report, questioning their failure to showcase his use of the words “peacefully & patriotically” in his speech preceding the Capitol riot. Trump asserted that these specific words were conspicuously absent from the committee’s narrative, leading him to accuse them of deceit and manipulation.
WHY DID THE UNSELECT JANUARY 6th COMMITTEE OF POLITICAL HACKS & THUGS ILLEGALLY DELETE & DESTROY ALL OF THE EVIDENCE THEY USED TO WRITE THEIR FAKE REPORT. WHY DO THEY NOT SHOW THAT I USED THE WORDS “PEACEFULLY & PATRIOTICALLY” IN MY SPEECH? THEY ACTUALLY PRETENDED THAT THESE WORDS WERE NEVER UTTERED. CROOKED POLITICS!!!

A heated exchange unfolded on Fox News between anchor Harris Faulkner and former State Department spokesperson and Fox contributor Marie Harf regarding whether Donald Trump should be included on Colorado’s 2024 ballot. The tension arose during a discussion on President Biden’s comments about Trump being an “irrefutable insurrectionist.”
Faulkner, acknowledging Harf’s background in shaping messages at the State Department, sought her opinion on what advice she would give President Biden. However, the conversation quickly became confrontational as Harf began asserting that the bigger threat to democracy was Trump’s attempt to overturn the election, prompting Faulkner to interrupt.
Faulkner accused Harf of not answering the question, leading to a pointed exchange. Harf defended Biden’s decision not to weigh in on the court cases, expressing confidence in the Supreme Court ultimately ruling in Trump’s favor due to its perceived right-wing leaning. She then highlighted what she viewed as Republicans’ selective fidelity to the Constitution and referenced the 2000 Supreme Court decision in Bush v. Gore.
