"Donald and the Trump regime desperately want to pretend either that January 6 was a positive thing, or to pretend that it never happened at all,"
"It is up to all of us to make sure that we never forget the horrors that were inflicted on this country and on our democracy on that day, all because Donald could not accept that he lost the 2020 election to his opponent, Joe Biden, by almost eight million votes."
"The amount of trauma those officers, as well as members of Congress, and others in the Capitol suffered on that day was exacerbated in the aftermath of the insurrection when the Capitol police officers were betrayed by their government."
Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist and Donald Trump’s niece, publicly criticized him for ignoring the Capitol officers injured or killed during the January 6, 2021 riots. The riots saw a mob of Trump supporters storm the US Capitol while Congress met to formalize Joe Biden’s 2020 victory, leaving five people dead and many injured. More than 1,500 people were charged in connection with the events and were later pardoned by Donald Trump. Mary Trump attributes the violence to Trump’s refusal to accept his election loss, calling the resulting ‘big lie’ a product of a deep narcissistic wound, and says officers’ trauma was worsened when they were betrayed by their government.
