Trump rebuffed plea from top Republican to call off rioters, GOP Rep. Herrera Beutler says

 

Republican Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler backed reports late Friday that said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy spoke with then-President Donald Trump as a mob was attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and that the president seemed unconcerned about the riot.

 

Herrera Beutler, one of 10 House Republicans to vote for Trump's impeachment on a charge of inciting the attack, said in a statement that McCarthy had told her when he reached Trump by phone as the Capitol was breached McCarthy "asked him to publicly and forcefully call off the riot."

 

According to Herrera Beutler, Trump initially tried to blame the attack on leftist members of "antifa" but when McCarthy insisted the mob was comprised of the president supporters, Trump told the top House Republican, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are."

 

Herrera Beutler's allegation supports the House impeachment managers' claim that Trump was aware of the danger to lawmakers during the breach and did nothing to stop the riot as the Capitol was being stormed by a deadly mob.
