Donald Trump, Jr. is in damage control mode after his and other Republicans' text messages to Mark Meadows were revealed this week. But rather than trying to actually explain what happened, Junior decided that the easiest route to go was to simply lie about them. The former President's son is now claiming (falsely) that the text messages were somehow edited by the January 6th Committee - a lie that no one is buying. Farron Cousins discusses this.

Donald Trump Jr. Is in full panic mode right now, working on damage control after all of those text messages were released earlier this week, text messages from Trump junior himself to Mark Meadows, begging Meadows, to beg his dad to stop this insurrection, to get these people outta there, text messages from fellow law makers, uh, attempting to overturn the election, including Jim Jordan, and of course, text messages from Fox news personalities like Hannity Ingram, and Brian kill me, but it's the Jim Jordan text that junior is now going into damage control mode over because he thinks he's found a weakness. He thinks he found on something in the way that Adam Schiff read this into the record for the public this week that may undermine the entire text message saga. And here it is, Trump Jr. Is now claiming that that committee Adam Schiff in particular edited that text message from Jim Jordan to make it sound reason is when in fact it was totally just a normal text message between two dudes and at issue here is a single period, a single period because Trump Jr.
And of course, Jim Jordan himself are claiming that, oh, they edited it by not reading the rest of it. They acted like a sentence ended right here. When in fact it went on a little more. So there you go. I guess everything gets thrown out now. It's all totally false and fake because, uh, Adam shift didn't read the entire text message because the rest of it was irrelevant. It doesn't mean he edited it. It means he stopped reading and here is the, the line that was left out of that. Um, let's see. It was, uh, uh, uh, total text on January 6th, 2021 vice president, Mike Pence as president of the Senate should call out all electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all. And that's what he had put up on a screen and he ended it there. They put a period after that, which okay.
They shouldn't have put the period there cuz the text did continue. That was the text from Mark Meadows. It went on to say after that period in accordance with guidance from founding father Alexander Hamilton and judicial precedent. So they left out that part. Does that change the meaning of that text message from uh, uh, Jim Jordan to Mark Meadows? No. No it doesn't. It absolutely does not. And for the record something Alexander Hamilton said, you know, 150 years ago, 170 years ago, uh, uh, uh, doesn't matter, I'm sorry that'd be 220 years ago. Doesn't matter. Right? I'm sorry. But can we stop acting like the words of old white men from 250 years ago are still binding us today? That shouldn't be the case. sorry, but the only time people care, what Hamilton says is when they're watching the musical right now, not to mention the fact that it doesn't change the meaning of the text message.
It wasn't altered. It was ended, but Trump Jr is trying to jump on this and falsely claim that aha you can't believe the text messages cuz clearly they're altered case closed Republicans win. We did not try to do a S edition, but you still did. You still did Jim Jordan, but the reason Trump Jr is out there grasping at straws, trying to argue over where a period is in a sentence is because he is terrified. And of course he is directing attention towards the Jim Jordan texts so that it directs people away from the Donald Trump junior texts. And of course the big question of why didn't you call your daddy yourself? Do you not have his cell phone number? Wouldn't surprise me if he didn't, to be honest with you, I don't think he likes you very much, but either way Trump Jr is trying to deflect. He's trying to create controversy where none exists. The text messages speak for themselves, whether or not you're reading half of it or you're reading the whole thing. It doesn't change the fact that certain Republicans like Jim Jordan wanted to overturn the election and other Republicans like Trump junior himself were terrified of what they were watching on TV. That day, no amount of lying, no amount of deflection is going to change those facts.
