Kamala Harris

Trump busted for slip-up admission about the Jan. 6 insurrection

During a discussion on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on the dueling interviews of Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump on Wednesday, co-host Jonathan Lemire singled out an admission by the former president on the Jan. 6 insurrection that appears to have gone unnoticed.

Speaking with co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Wilie Geist, Lemire first praised Harris' performance on Fox News where she faced an abrasive Bret Baier, telling the panel, "The Harris people I spoke to in the aftermath of the interview said it showed real toughness. They love that she was able to say things to Fox News viewers who wouldn't normally hear them. It's not a coincidence; this interview happened hours after she appeared with a dozen of Republicans, lawmakers who are supporting her."

Turning back to Trump, he pointed to a clip of the former president appearing at a Univision town hall where he was asked about the 2020 presidential election and the Jan. 6 MAGA riot that followed.

As the obviously fuming Lemire explained, "Mika, one more note about Donald Trump yesterday, the clip we played about January 6th, talking about 'we,' as he always talks about, uses the word 'we' when he talks about the January 6th rioters."

"He said, 'we were there peacefully, they had the guns," he reported. "The 'they'? They were Capitol police officers –– that shows you Donald Trump's framing of January 6th."

She has a massive and irredeemable case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME - So bad, in fact, that she is barely able to talk about any subject other than the man who had the best economy ever, the strongest border in history, and who just got the UNANIMOUS ENDORSEMENT OF THE U.S. Border Patrol, ME!"

He then added, "Their Endorsement was a TREMENDOUS HONOR!!! They said that Comrade Kamala did a terrible job, the absolute worst in memory, and can’t be allowed to do it again."

"She is also the WORST Vice President in history, but hopefully will soon be GONE. Again, congratulations to Bret Baier on a tough but very fair interview, one that clearly showed how totally incompetent Kamala is. For the good of our Nation, her inferior Cognitive ability must be tested at once!" he concluded.

But while Harris knew she was in unfriendly territory going on the nation's largest right-leaning cable network, she had a very distinct plan going into it, CNN media analyst Brian Stelter said on a panel afterward.

As soon as Vice President Kamala Harris' interview with Fox News host Bret Baier began, the two sparred on the topic of immigration — with Harris reminding Baier that the Biden administration fought for a comprehensive border security solution only for former President Donald Trump to work behind the scenes to kill it.
