(48,771 posts)8. Yes, and he wasn't the least bit concerned. 😠
Donald Trump knew members of the crowd at his rally near the White House on 6 January 2021 were armed, but demanded security apparatus be removed to allow them closer, and then instructed the crowd to march on the US Capitol, a witness told the January 6 committee.
Hutchinson, a former aide to Trump and his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, testified in person on Tuesday. She described how, backstage at the Ellipse shortly before his speech, Trump demanded supporters be allowed in, to fill the area to capacity as his remarks were shown on TV.
The president was warned by a Secret Service official that protesters outside security magnetometers were carrying weapons.
Trump said: I dont fucking care that they have weapons, theyre not here to hurt me. Theyre not here to hurt me. Take the fucking mags away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here, let the people in and take the mags away.

They didn't have much to say when trump said this in his first term "Take the guns first, go through due process second"
