Pot calling the kettle black

Trump is trying to blame No Kings rally for assassination attempt at Correspondent’s dinner last Saturday night.

On today’s Popular Information, Rebecca Crosby and Noel Sims write, “The truth is that the No Kings rallies have been some of the largest and most peaceful protests in history.” Of the 8 million who demonstrated on March 28, there were under a hundred arrests reported, and most of these were people who didn’t want to go home after the rally ended.

Compare this with Trump’s own protest on January 6, 2021: “…the January 6 riot caused far more harm than the No Kings protests, despite having just a fraction of the attendance. About 10,000 people were on the Capitol grounds during the riot and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) estimates that up to 2,500 entered the building. Over 140 police officers were injured by rioters and one officer died shortly after of a stroke. The attack cost the government $2.7 billion, including repairs for property damage and investigations.”
