Social Media Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Former President Trump on Thursday referred to those jailed over their actions during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol as “hostages” during a rally with supporters in Texas. Trump walked on stage at a Houston rally to Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” as he typically does. But when it concluded, a song in which Trump collaborated with a chorus of inmates detained on charges related to the Jan. 6 insurrection began to play, and the former president stood saluting. “Well, thank you very much, and you know what that was,” he said to open the rally. “I call them the ‘J-6 hostages,’ not prisoners. I call them the hostages, what’s happened. And you know, it’s a shame.” In the song “Justice for All,” which was released on multiple streaming services in March, Trump is heard reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. The 45th president’s portion on the track follows a chorus of Jan. 6 inmates, credited on the song as the “J6 Prison Choir,” who sing “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The end of the song features the chorus repeatedly chanting “USA!” Money raised from the song was reportedly directed to families of the Jan. 6 mob who participated on the track. Trump has repeatedly expressed sympathy for rioters charged in connection to Jan. 6, when his supporters violently clashed with law enforcement and stormed the complex to try and halt the certification of President Biden’s 2020 victory.

Popular Post herfiehandbag Posted November 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2023 (edited) Is it as catchy as other campaign songs? "Horst Wesel" song for example? To call these convicted criminals "hostages" and inevitably draw comparison with the savage kidnappings in Israel shows eye watering, well, ignorance? An utter lack of empathy and humanity? Self aggrandisement? Or simple imbecility? The fat, lying, cheating, stealing, cheeseburger guzzling, self centred, fascist oaf!

Popular Post Chomper Higgot Posted November 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2023 It’s perfectly natural that Trump would be concerned over the welfare of people imprisoned for the J6 crimes. I said at the time, he could have helped himself by enacting prison reforms. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unfortunately he does not exist in a vacuum, I does have a meaning to the mentally challenged individuals who support him. One does not need an IQ in double digits to wonder " Wow they are hostages "I wonder for what reason" "hey don!! why are they holding them hostages"? Oh and I agree with you on the "lying buffon" comment though I suspect you are being polite, this being morning and all 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
