During the town hall, Trump stated, "You had hundreds of thousands of people come to Washington. They didn't come because of me, they came because of the election. They thought the election was a rigged election and that's why they came." This reflects Trump's narrative about the Capitol riot, framing it as driven by widespread belief in election fraud rather than his own influence.
In response to criticism of his actions during the Capitol riot, Trump claimed, "I said, peacefully and patriotically, nothing done wrong. At all. Nothing done wrong.” This assertion dismisses the gravity of the events on January 6, positioning his rhetoric as non-provocative.
Trump controversially remarked, "Ashli Babbitt was killed, nobody was killed, there were no guns down there, we didn't have guns." This statement attempts to downplay the violence of the Capitol riot and minimize the significance of Babbitt's death.
The audience's reaction was palpable when Trump claimed, "nobody was killed." This prompted visible confusion among attendees, indicating the stark divide in perception regarding the Capitol riot and Trump's portrayal of the event.
