Jimmy Kimmel exposes Trump's lie about sending troops to protect the Capitol on Jan. 6: “In fact, what was documented, according to Trump’s former defense secretary, was that he wanted troops not to protect the Capitol, but to protect his supporters”
over its continued promotion of bogus election-fraud claims. And during the sit-down, Trump floated a bizarre, fact-free conspiracy: that Nancy Pelosi was somehow to blame for the Jan. 6 insurrection, wherein a group of Trump supporters—at his behest—stormed the U.S. Capitol in a failed attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election.. Last night, I mentioned he called for an investigation into why Mike Pence refused to overturn the election.
“Uncle Scam did an interview with Newsmax, during which he once again made the false claim that he called for 10,000 troops to protect the Capitol from the nuts he instructed to march over there,” the host added. Indeed, during the interview Trump alleged that he tried to send 10,000 troops to protect the Capitol during the riot, but that Pelosi overruled him because she “didn’t want any soldiers.”
“Yeah… none of that’s true,” said Kimmel. “In fact, what was documented, according to Trump’s former defense secretary, was that he wanted troops not to protect the Capitol, but to protect his supporters.”
