... Former President Donald Trump made a "sharply self-incriminating" statement during his Univision town hall on Wednesday, legal analyst and former U.S. assistant attorney Glenn Kirschner said Thursday. ...
In a YouTube video posted Thursday, Kirschner, a MSNBC legal analyst and frequent Trump critic, said the former president's comments about the riot during the town hall were "sharply self-incriminating" because Trump used the "royal we" when describing the insurrection. ...
Kirschner turned to a transcript of Trump's response to Ramiro González, a 56-year-old construction worker with Cuban heritage, who told Trump at the Univision town hall that he is a former Republican who is no longer registered.
"I want to give you the opportunity to try and win back my vote," González said to Trump. "Your action and maybe inaction, during your presidency and maybe the last few years, sort of, was a little disturbing to me."
He added: "What happened during January 6, and the fact that you waited so long to take action while your supporters were attacking the Capitol."
Kirschner then read out Trump's answer, saying, "Ashli Babbitt was killed. Nobody was killed. There were no guns down there. We didn't have guns. The others had guns, but we didn't have guns."
The "other side," Kirschner said, "would be the police, who were protecting the people in the U.S. Capitol who were trying to certify Joe Biden's election win."
The legal analyst said that the moment highlighted Trump's relation to the rioters that day. "By using that royal 'we,'-- 'we didn't have guns at the Capitol,' -- Donald Trump aligns himself with the angry mob, with the insurrectionists." ...
