Part 2 of 2
So, how will the committee tie this to Trump? No doubt the former ABC News producer hired to create a dramatic video montage of footage recorded that day and witness interviews will feature a clip of Trump’s comment during a September 2020 debate with Joe Biden related to the Proud Boys.
Debate moderator Chris Wallace, who claimed disingenously and without evidence that Proud Boys incited violence during the 2020 George Floyd riots, repeatedly pushed Trump to tell the group to “stand down” while Joe Biden added on, “say it, do it, say it!” When Trump asked both who they specifically wanted him to condemn, Biden answered, “Proud Boys.” So Trump, looking directly at the camera, complied. “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by.”
That comment—Trump later said he didn’t know who the Proud Boys were—much like his “very fine people” remark after the 2017 protests in Charlottesville, has been taken out of context ever since. Committee members and the media will once again weaponize an intentionally twisted version of his comment as evidence Trump instructed the Proud Boys to prepare to “storm” the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
The collaboration between the Justice Department, House Democrats, and the media did not go unnoticed by two of the Proud Boy defendants. In a motion filed on Wednesday, Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the group, and Zachary Rehl, noted the timing of their indictment.
“The government filed the Third Superseding Indictment on June 6, 2022 to coincide with the January 6th Select Committee Hearings which are scheduled to commence on June 9, 2022 on prime-time TV,” their attorneys explained to Judge Timothy Kelly, the presiding judge in the case. “Additionally, the select Committee has announced that the hearings will commence immediately and with the central focus of Enrique Tarrio and the Proud Boys. This suspiciously seems orchestrated at the highest levels of government. This Honorable Court should raise caution as to the true intent of why the Government filed a Third Superseding with trumped up allegations with no new supporting facts on the eve of the January 6th Select Committee Hearings.”
The attorneys further argued the government added “no new material facts to the allegations.”
But of course facts don’t matter in Collaboration Theater. The same powerful, unaccountable interests that concocted Russiagate, rigged the 2020 election, and conspired to produce the events of January 6 depend only on the bloodlust of the Democratic Party base and the insatiable vengeance of party leaders such as Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Liz Cheney to promote their lies. And now they get to do it in primetime.
