Former President Trump appeared to mix up former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) Friday during a rally in New Hampshire, while discussing the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
““Look at all the people back there — you got a lot of people. This is supposed to be a quaint little area. This is not quaint at all,” Trump told a crowd of supporters in Concord, N.H., remarking about the crowd size, adding later. “You know when [Haley] comes here she gets like nine people, and the press never reports the crowds you know.”….

During his remarks, Trump appeared to mix up Haley for the former House Speaker. However, Pelosi’s office has pushed back against Republicans’ allegations positing the blame on the security of the Capitol under her leadership on the day of the riot.
“On Jan. 6th, the Speaker, a target of an assassination attempt that day, was no more in charge of Capitol security than Mitch McConnell was,” then-Pelosi spokesperson Drew Hammill explained to The Associated Press in July 2021. “This is a clear attempt to whitewash what happened on Jan. 6th and divert blame.”
The National Guard isn’t directed by the House Speaker…
The reality of course is that most Republicans couldnt care less that he’s an inveterate liar.
Indeed they make light of it.Think it’s funny.
In this they are quite reminiscent of the Communists.The commies brushed off the lies emanating from the old Soviets .All was fair in the battle against the capitalists.
Actually the Republican Party today increasingly resembles a totalitarian organization built around a cult of personality, much like the Communists in the Stalin era .
Great point Jack……
Maybe a post on it…
