Editor,
It amazes me that the Daily Journal, along with most other mainstream newspapers, reported “The tough words Trump never spoke” (Jan. 6 panel’s newest video, Daily Journal Page 6, July 26), while completely ignoring the words Donald Trump actually did speak at that famous rally.
Trump said, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the capitol building, to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
One short sentence. Seventy-four million Trump voters heard it. With all the ink still given to Trump, how come it’s so hard for newspapers to include it? For me, it was the biggest take-away, that day. Readers deserve better than selective editing of facts.

Yes, Ronna, readers do deserve better than selective editing of the facts of which your letter is a prime example. Your biggest takeaway of the day is one selective sentence? Trump sat idolly by for THREE hours while the Capitol and the police were attacked and ransacked. He provoked an insurrection or have you had selective hearing of the January 6 committee presentations too?
Thanks for your letter, Ronna - another inconvenient truth for those of the “orange man bad” variety.
Ronna - I love when in less than ten seconds I can find dozens of mainstream newspapers, radio programs, TV programs, etc..... where transcripts of President Trump's entire speech can be found, including and even featuring the portion of the speech you mentioned.
Ronna- The former president, knowing that many in the crowd were armed, encouraged them to march to the capital and "fight like h__ _, and if you don't fight like h_ _ _, you're not going to have a country anymore". He then chose to watch the rioters attack and injure law officers, desecrate the building and threaten bodily harm to elected representatives, and did nothing to stop the carnage for over 3 hours. What part of that is "peaceful"?
...but what great "patriots" those rioters are, right Ronna? I mean c'mon...they were waving American flags.
ALMC: In certain other languages we have a word that is missing in English. That word means “to be bright enough to understand that you should be embarrassed”, which seems to lack with some who expose their ignorance on this site. Trump is a prime example of someone who doesn't have "skamvætt".
ALMC, perhaps you can set the record straight on treasonous Biden taking two knees and surrendering Afghanistan while watching Afghan refugees and Americans suffer at that time, and now. But what a great “patriot” Biden is in waving the white flag to our enemies. Perhaps you can set the record straight on the $billions in damage caused by BLM to our American cities, while Dems did nothing to stop the carnage for over 3 months, and to a lesser degree, now. What part of that is “peaceful”?
Please Terence, stop with the Fox talking points...it's embarrassing.
So you can’t set the record straight? Please, ALMC, stop with the Dem talking points…it’s more embarrassing.
Terence Y: I noticed you had a comment to a Jan. 6 insurrection article under DJ’s “Other voices”, where you said you had no idea who Bill Press is! Perhaps you have someone in your neighborhood who could show you how to look up things on Google, where you’d find who well-known personality, TV-host and author Bill Press is. He was the one on the “Spin Room” who tried to educate Tucker Carlson, teach him some manners, logic, and common sense. As we can tell now, of course, that failed, - although perhaps not so noticeable for non-thinking Trumpists. That’s embarrassing.
