Here is what then-US Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) posted about the 6 Jan 2021 white supremacist terrorist attack on the US Capitol led by Trumpf's BFF Enrique Tarrio: twitter.com

I wonder where the USCP secured the frightened Senator that day? Match what Rubio said in 2021 to what he is doing in 2025 as USSECSTATE for the Trumpf junta.

Trump loves domestic terrorism.

He knows all good authoritarian nations require domestic terrorism in order to force civilians into falling in line.

Deplorable Trumping MAGAts have a lot more in common with the Taliban than they realize.

... Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the far-right Proud Boys and convicted seditionist in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol siege, thanked Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago for his pardon and got an "I love you guys" from the president, according to Tarrio and a New York Times report.

The Saturday night encounter came about when a member of Trump's home-base country club invited Tarrio and his mother, Zuny Duarte, to dinner at the Florida resort, The New York Times reported Sunday. The member introduced the two to the president as he walked by in the main room, an unnamed White House official told the newspaper.

Duarte said Trump recognized Tarrio's name "Oh, you're that guy" and even knew the names of his co-defendants in the case, the Times wrote.

Tarrio gave a glowing account of the encounter on X, formerly Twitter, writing:

I just had a great conversation with @POTUS. He called me and my Mother over while we were at dinner and said he was sorry for what @JoeBiden did to all J6ers.

@#7 ... The White House did not respond to the Times' request for comment. ...

Why wouldn't the White House respond to a request for comment?

If this meeting were so great, then I would have thought the White House would be proud to comment on it.
