Somehow, there's a popular narrative that's been pushed for a long time that Trump "abandoned" Jan 6 prisoners.. and whenever he speaks out about them, he's criticized for not doing more...
Here's a timeline of Trump standing up with Jan6ers:
From the very beginning, on Jan7th, 2021, under insane amount of pressure, President Trump removed lines about prosecuting Jan6ers from his post-Jan6 remarks. Read carefully the lines he chose to remove, it speaks volumes. cbsnews.com/news/trump-jan…
Now compare that with what other politicians said, for example, DeSantis who was under ZERO pressure:
Trump even wanted to join the his supporters outside the Capitol “Secret Service wouldn’t let me,” Trump told The Washington Post in April. “I wanted to go. I wanted to go so badly. Secret Service says you can’t go. I would have gone there in a minute.” archive.ph/5YxGD#selectio…
Trump released this statement on July 1, asking "Who shot Ashley Babbitt?" This was hours after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced her appointments to the Jan 6th committee.
Then again, at his July 3 rally, he defended Ashley, revealed that he spoke to her mother. He also said: "how come there's many people still in jail over Jan6..why are republican leaders like McConnell afraid to take up the subject?"
Jan 15, 22:"These ppl are living in hell..they're being hounded like the worse animal..what's going on is horrible in Washington..the jails are filthy, disgusting dirty..brutal lockdowns, the showers are disgusting..we should help them defend their selves"
NO ONE had a louder voice, or has done more for Jan6 prisoners, than Donald Trump, all while being under unprecedented witch hunt investigations, he knew he would be accused of countless things if he spoke out, but that didn't hold him back.
It's disgusting seeing lies like this vilifying him. So many believe nonsense like "Trump set them up" "Trump abandoned them", "Too little too late".. Sickening.
The battle isn't over. Trump is the only way moving forward. No one represents Jan6ers & the movement more than that man, not even close. Those who say otherwise don't care about J6ers & don't care about the movement. #Trump2024
Aunt of J6 defendant: “Ron Desantis has nothing to do with any of the people from FL, and there are more people from FL than any other state who were arrested for J6. He ignores every one of their calls.”
Trump teamed up with J6 prisoners to record a tribute song titled 'Justice for All'
It featured 20 prisoners singing national anthem through a jailhouse phone with Trump reciting pledge of allegiance, & all proceeds will go to help the prisoners' families
It's sick that there are many ppl still lying and saying "Trump abandoned J6ers"... J6ers and their families themselves are on video debunking that narrative, yet low lives who don't even care about J6ers, are still exploiting the situation for their anti-Trump agenda.
Thanks to all those who are posting this thread. Their lies must be exposed.

🧵In a 2018 article, DeSantis’ handler @ChristinaPushaw advocated for Free Trade & Immigration, while criticizing Economic Populism
She stated that “calls for severe restriction of immigration & govt-imposed obstacles to trade…pose a dire threat to the ideals of a free society”
“Pro-freedom immigration and trade policies have bolstered the American economy” she claimed.
“the messages of economic nationalism also contradict the values that define a free society. Imposing trade barriers stifles competition and innovation in the market”
🧵Trump’s opinion about the early lockdown was common sense, this was in April 2020, we didn’t know how dangerous the virus was back then.. and despite that, he said Kemp “should do what’s right” because he wants the states to govern themselves which is the right stance..
Trump opposed lockdowns ever since the facts came out, but DeSantis shills dismiss that. Instead of getting mad the president who has no authority over lockdowns, get mad at governors who implemented these lockdowns. After all, Trump did say “[governors] should do what’s right”.
🧵DeSantis shills post videos of Trump recommending the vaccines and label him a “vaccine salesman pushing the poison shots” then follow it with a “#DeSantis2024”, but they’ll never show you this, bc it negates a key talking point of their “DeSantis better than Trump” narrative..
They should even be more mad at DeSantis, he’s the one in power with a dominantly red legislature, he’s also the one who kept saying “don’t Fauci my Florida” and grifted off of it selling merch, then a week later he begged his constituents to take the “Fauci Ouchie”…
“Vaccines save lives” says the “Big Pharma salesman”
Trump endorsed Dr Oz after his originally endorsed Sean Parnell dropped out, there were no other options, McCormick is a Wall Street insider solid RINO who cozied up to China, outsourced jobs and ran teachers' pensions into the ground. Kathy Barnette, 1/x
was barely known, was so down in the polls, she only gained popularity AFTER the Oz endorsement, and only on twitter, in real life however, she remained not so popular unlike Oz who already had name recognition.. so Kathy never had a chance, she lost by 20 points in 2020 and 2/x
would’ve lost again in 2022, even if Trump had endorsed her, in both the primary or in Nov.
Conservative twitter was misled about Oz by some influencers, they took some old clips out of context… Oz did not support transgenderism, he just objectively discussed the topic on 3/x
