[Baltimore Sun] Trump tacitly acknowledges his role in Jan. 6 attack | READER COMMENTARY

Read Time:35 Second

Former President Donald J. Trump’s statement to Fox News on Sept. 16 that the man arrested at his golf course for an apparent assassination attempt “believed the rhetoric of [President Joe] Biden and [Vice President Kamala] Harris and acted on it” is a tacit admission that his own inflammatory rhetoric on Jan. 6, 2021, contributed to the subsequent violent ransacking of the U.S. Capitol by his supporters and the fatalities, injuries and property destruction that ensued (“Apparent attempt on Trump’s life raises questions about how it could have happened again,” Sept. 16).
