President Trump admits to House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy that he's partly to blame for violence at U.S. Capitol

President Trump admitted Monday that he is at least partially to blame for what transpired at the U.S. Capitol last Wednesday.
That's according to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who spoke with the president on Monday and later conveyed Mr. Trump's feelings to fellow House Republicans.
Multiple Republicans familiar with the exchanges confirmed the details to CBS News.
The call between the president and top House Republican came on the same day Mr. Trump met face-to-face in the Oval Office with Vice President Pence for the first time since the deadly siege, during which protesters were heard chanting, "Hang Mike Pence!"
The outreach to senior Republicans comes as the House is set to vote Tuesday on a resolution calling on Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment with Cabinet secretaries to remove the president from office. If Pence and the Cabinet do not do so, the House is expected to vote Wednesday on an article of impeachment against Mr. Trump, holding him responsible for inciting the mob that assaulted the Capitol, leaving five people dead.
While many congressional Republicans have voiced opposition to impeaching Mr. Trump for a second time, including McCarthy, a handful of Republican senators have signaled they are open to impeachment charges or have called on the president to resign before his term expires on January 20.
McCarthy recounted details of his call with the president to fellow Republicans during a conference call later Monday, the people familiar with the exchange said.
In a letter sent to House Republicans and obtained by CBS News, McCarthy wrote that he remains opposed to impeachment, writing it would "have the opposite effect of bringing our country together when we need to get America back on a path towards unity and civility."
He said members across the conference had recommended other avenues to address the riots in the Capitol on Wednesday, including creating a bipartisan commission to study the attack, reforming the Electoral Count Act of 1887 and crafting legislation to "promote voter confidence in future federal elections."
The other option McCarthy mentioned was a resolution of censure, though he did not say who would be censured. The letter did not mention Mr. Trump by name.
McCarthy also reiterated to fellow House Republicans that he too believes the president bears some responsibility for the mob and assault on the Capitol.
The House leader was among many senior Republicans who spoke with the president during the assault on Wednesday and pleaded with him to call off his supporters and send military assistance to quell the disturbance.

Brehs...read this story if you can. It is a visual timeline of everything and after reading this, tell me that this wasn't planned and coordinated possibly at the highest level. It looks like a military-style attack. Before Trump told those people to march towards the west side of the Capitol, there was already a group of people not a part of the original rally on the east side agitating the cops already. Then when the people starting marching from the west, someone calls in the two bombs at the RNC and DNC as if to pull resources away from the Capitol towards the bomb threats.
Then the stream in from both sides into all the entraces. This shyt is going to turn out to be some major shyt if its fully uncovered. It was like a military operation

Read this shyt. Its illuminating.

Have the inauguration in Delaware or some undisclosed location. DC is just too hot with violence right now.

The pig who took a selfie with the mob of White Supremacists has finally been suspended and is under investigation.
Another one who wore a MAGA hat while on duty has been suspended as well.
They have another 15 officers under investigation.
Hope ALL of them get sent to the gallows
