Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't...."

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 don’t fucking care that they have weapons, they’re not here to hurt me. They’re 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.”
