Trump: ‘I’m not an insurrectionist’

Former President Trump on Thursday denied that he is an insurrectionist after President Biden said it was “self-evident” Trump was one for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

“I’m not an Insurrectionist,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, specifically pointing to his comments on Jan. 6 in which he encouraged supporters to march to the Capitol “peacefully and patriotically.”

Trump also claimed Biden is an insurrectionist and a threat to democracy, continuing a pattern in which the former president accuses his opponents and critics of the same thing he is accused of doing.
