Trump still loves his seditious rioters
By 
The Trump/Hawley/Cruz/McCarthy sedition rioters came in the spirit of pure love, says disgraced real estate mogul Donald J. Trump:
Former President Donald Trump is defending his supporters who violently assaulted the Capitol on Jan. 6, claiming they posed “zero threat,” despite the riot resulting in multiple deaths and injuries as well as property destruction.
He also alleged his supporters were being persecuted during a phone interview Thursday night with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, asserting the rioters were “hugging and kissing” Capitol Police officers.
The riot led to more than 50 injuries and left five dead, authorities have said, including Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick.
Rioters also threatened members of Congress and called for then-Vice President Mike Pence, who was in the Capitol at the time, to be hanged.
“It was zero threat, right from the start, it was zero threat,” Trump told Fox. “Look, they went in, they shouldn’t have done it. Some of them went in, and they are hugging and kissing the police and the guards, you know, they had great relationships, and a lot of the people were waived in, and then they walked in and they walked out.”
