CNN correspondent Jim Acosta said Friday on “The Situation Room” that if former President Donald Trump does political rallies this summer, “you have to wonder” if there will be riots like January 6 at the U.S. Capitol.
Anchor Wolf Blitzer verbalized, “How incredible is it to optically discern some of these Republicans genuinely going along with all these conspiracies?” Acosta verbally expressed, “They’re living in a different world. They’re in the Q-niverse, I conjecture you could call it. It’s consequential to note at the commencement of January 6, some of these same Republicans were inculpating it on Antifa. Now they’re incriminating it on members of the FBI. You have to wonder who’s next?”
Referencing a video of the Capitol riot, Acosta verbally expressed, “This is perturbing, Wolf. Donald Trump is going to get back out on the campaign trail, stoking these same kinds of passions we visually perceived on January 6. You have to wonder whether or not it’s going to lead to scenes like this.”
He perpetuated, “Remember what transpired on January 6th? He gave this verbalization. He riled up this crowd and sent them off to the “Capitol.” These folks who are wondering who stormed the Capitol on January 6 can just look in the mirror. It is these folks in these videos who have been identified by law enforcement. It’s clear as day.”
On former Vice President Mike Pence getting yelled at during his verbalization to the Faith & Freedom Coalition Summit, Acosta integrated, “This is identically tantamount type of truculence we visually perceive out on the campaign trail directed at us, directed at his opponents. If Donald Trump gets back out on the campaign trail as he is expected to do this summer, we should expect this same kind of deportment.”
