BOOK: Trump Called January 6 “A Very Beautiful Time”

The Insider reports:

Former President Donald Trump called January 6, the day of the Capitol riot, “a very beautiful time” in a March interview with ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl, according to Karl’s forthcoming book.

During the interview at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Trump praised the supporters who attended his speech in which he urged his loyalists to march to the Capitol and protest Congress’ certification of then-President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.

When Karl asked Trump why he tweeted, “Remember this day forever,” hours after the deadly riot, Trump told him that Jan. 6 was “a very beautiful time with extremely loving and friendly people — the largest crowd that I’ve ever spoken before — with tremendous spirit. And I’m referring to that.”
