Bedminster Bash will Celebrate Trump Insurrectionists
This seems like a spoof, but it’s apparently real.
Trump National in Bedminster will host an “awards gala” to benefit January 6 defendants on Sept. 5. Those inclined to catch the action live can do so for $1,500 on up to $30,000 for a table of 12.
This is how a promo for the event describes it:
“Join us for an unforgettable evening at the J6 Awards Gala, where we will honor and celebrate the twenty defendants who contributed to the powerful ‘Justice For All’ song. Released on March 3, 2023, this song quickly went Platinum, thanks to your unwavering support. Now …. we gather to pay tribute not only to these individuals but to all J6 defendants who have shown incredible courage and sacrifice.”
The song in question is a rendition of the national anthem by about 20 Jan. 6 defendants as Donald Trump says the Pledge of Allegiance. Money raised at the event “will provide much-needed assistance to the January 6th defendants who continue to face significant challenges.”
No question about that. Many are in prison or awaiting trial.
Reports say Trump will not be at the event. However, the promo says the former president is an invited speaker.
Timing is everything in politics and the timing here seems a bit unfortunate.
Democrats highlighted the attack on the Capitol during their just concluded convention.
On Thursday, Craig Sicknick, brother of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, a New Jersey native who died a day after the attack, addressed the crowd.
Said Craig Sicknick:
“He (Trump) incited the crowd while my brother and his fellow officers were putting their lives at risk. We need a real leader, not an autocrat who is stuck in the past.”
Trump has often spoken favorably about the individuals who stormed the Capitol, at times suggesting he would pardon them if he is elected president. Others in the MAGA movement like calling them political prisoners.
Not amused by this is Rep. Mikie Sherrill. In a statement Friday, She said in part:
“Donald Trump – a twice impeached convicted felon – doesn’t know the first thing about service to our country or upholding the Constitution. He continues to spotlight and celebrate members of an insurrectionist mob who violently attempted to stop the peaceful transfer of power on January 6. Even worse, he pledged to pardon the thousands who’ve been convicted of crimes on January 6 – even those who assaulted the more than 140 law enforcement officers who were wounded during the insurrection. The American people have a clear choice in this election between a dangerous candidate who has said he would ‘terminate’ the Constitution, and Kamala Harris who will uphold it.”
Typical bias story trying to bash Trump. These same losers that whine about an insurrection never talk about the ultra violent BLM protests that disgraced our great country. These losers were the same morons that were preaching how sane and “with it” Bidens been. Duh
womble more fake news
David, Your cowardly white robe with its threads spin by Satan is showing in your rhetoric, you racist. Thankfully you can visit the thug Derek Chauvin (who MURDERED George Floyd)in prison, where Trump will also soon be.
Never? You apparently don’t care about being taken seriously.
Here we go….with the vitriol.
Over the past four years there have many acts of violence against our great nation, which no one can deny or sugarcoat . Many people have died, businesses destroyed, statues desecrated, government trust lost.
We are in a two party system , with no tolerance of any meaningful , constructive, respectful dialogue even given a chance.
Every sector of our great nation is feeling the tension.
We preach about democracy being precious as we watch blatant undemocratic maneuvering.
Hence, it has driven. RFK Jr. to do what he thinks is best to save democracy and call out those forces working against it. A very bold move, which I am sure is a very uncomfortable position to be in, but worth listening to his speech.
UNITE AMERICA
NJ Voter, you say :
“It has driven RFK Jr. to do what he thinks is best to save Democracy…” So how does his endorsement of a convicted felon who also tried to steal the 2020 election, “saving democracy”? Kindly go elsewhere with your sophomoric BS.
Well written, Fred. Thank you.
Vitriol
Let us call it what it is…THE COP KILLER BALL. I hope somehow the list of people who buy a ticket for this gathering of convicts is made public.
This can’t be real….These people belong in prison for a long time. And I’m sorry we cannot compare BLM protests…. Which were WRONG to January 6th. THESE RIOTERS TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE CAPITOL….. like the VP all while carrying TRUMP FLAGS. Open your eyes people. This is a dam disgrace !!!!.
* kill the VP
Are there any protests planned for this date? Anyone know where I can find out? This is OBSCENE.
Diane P – I certainly hope so………I’ll be looking
