“I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order --- respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!”

President Trump tweeted this in response to the violence that erupted Wednesday at the Capitol Building, when some “Trump supporters” broke through barricades and stormed the building, breaking windows, getting rough with police in the halls, even entering the House chamber. As this is being written, news has just broken that one of the people who got shot in the melee has died.

Trump is right: we ARE the party of law and order, but I think most of us will agree that he needs to be a lot tougher in his condemnation of this. The same can be said of the video statement he released. Of course, virtually every news outlet who posted his tepid “go home” video had to editorialize, saying that Trump “repeated false claims” of election fraud. Facebook took it down.

So did YouTube.

Trump also tweeted this on Wednesday: “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!”

Well, yes, Mr. President, but in the USA, at least those of us on the right, also demand that the Constitution be meticulously followed. Vice President Pence obviously was doing what he thought was right concerning his role in this. We may disagree with him –- numerous constitutional experts do, and Alan Dershowitz isn’t sure –- and you obviously disagree with him, but please, right now, stay out of that process and stop pressuring him.

Trump told his supporters to go home, but no reaction to this violence is complete without a total, vociferous condemnation. We all condemned the truly awful violence coming from the Democrat side this summer when their party and the media (but I repeat myself) failed to do it. In this case, it’s just as wrong, no matter who is behind it.

We are aghast at this.

    We the people are witnessing the predictable results of the neutered congress that can't get anything done because of their own self interest. It is way past time for term limits. The GOP should spend all their time and $ on a constitutional convention to make this happen. Amen

    I left a comment earlier. After reading some other comments, please encourage folks that they must continue to vote and do what we can to turn things around. Even if they continue to do voter fraud, we know that we must vote in huge numbers. If every registered voter that stands for our country had voted in Georgia, maybe the outcome would have been different.

    Mr. Huckabee,
    I do not believe those were "Trump supporters" who "stormed" in, there is video footage that shows an officer offering no resistance and essentially leading those individuals up the stairs and into the Capitol. One photo shows the man who has Pelosi's podium in his arms at an Antifa rally. It was again a setup. I do appreciate your work and thoughtful articles.

    How will we ever have a fair election again? There is video of cheating, even in the Senate runoff. They're doing it, it needs to stop and I don't see anyone saying anything about it unless it's related to Trump. I'm personally heartbroken over all that has happened, I don't see any way out of the disaster that is going to be dumped on us now.

    There have been many Christians praying for God's will be done and also for a righteous leader. I have to in my blind faith believe that what is happening is either God's will or God is telling us; we didn't heed him as we should as a country, therefore, he shall let us reep our rewards. I did not vote for Trump, however, I felt he was trying his best to help our country in the face of great adversity daily, constantly. I pray we can again have peace in our country. I also am praying that our country shall be saved from Socialism & Communism, which I fear this party voted in is going to bring in. God's will be done.

    I truthfully believe that the thugs where antifa in disguise that were paid to disrupt Trumps protest and tar and feather Trump on his way out. More telling is the way our congressmen immediately turned on Trump like rats jumping off the ship. It was orchestrated in my opinion to bury a force stronger that them. They still don’t understand that God is that strong force.

  • Maggie Williams

    01/07/2021 08:50 AM

    I believe we should find out for sure that the ones who caused the violence WERE MAGA. We were all given the heads up that Antifa was going to infiltrate the protest. Our country is under attack from within and now feels betrayed by those we held out hope to defend her. Such a travesty! I don’t think I’m the only person who feels that we are on a direct course to annihilation!

    Where were all those DC police, squad cars, fire trucks, etc. in 2020 when leftist agitators were beating innocent people, looting, destroying and burning? The contrast in response is mind-blowing! Its far past time for governments to condemn those actions by all, not just select groups.

    ANTIFA disguised as MAGA was the invaders as was planned with assistance from someone inside.. There are photos showing the tattoo on the arm/wrist and face identical to those involved in prior riots. You know the security around the white house/ protection from entering...pictures of tweets regarding the plan to plant invaders to discredit we the Patriots in our quest to Stop the Steal of this election and to uphold our constitution.
    Help share the video of Maria Zack interview of delivery of affidavit from Italian man who actually uploaded and sent to America how to switch the votes from Trump to Biden. Research this and get the word out President Trump is correct there was interference with this election. All international and here need be punished to full extent of the law.
    Our country and freedoms must be saved.

    I have no problem with what Trump said. Shocked to read that you do. Now that he is leaving, it sounds like you are turning your back on him and looking for greener pastures to play in. How do you spell t-r-a-i-t-o-r?

  • Liz Snow

    REAL Trump supporters dont behave like this. You & I both know that there were antifa or other bad actors that did this. Also I really want to know why trump & pence did not get this settled in private? Are they not speaking?

    I am only a small town boy going on 80 years old so what do I know. I was raised and saw what the country was like when younger. have watched this coming on for a long time. What I have seen lately the last few years is people watching the people not respecting each other views or opinions.
    How much respect has there been the last 4 years for the elected President and us that voted and supported him.

    We the people have been pushed and pushed by the people on the other side that want to change the country we love into something we do not want. The people that love the United States and what it has always stood for and fought for it can only be pushed so far. We have been taught this year we can not depend on our election system, a lot of our elected officials, and some of the liberal courts to protect this country. for us.

    It has been proven over and over you can only push taking peoples freedom away for so long and not have people fight back.

    I am hurt, sadden, at what is going on. I truly wished we had kept it a peaceful protest. We don't want our fellow Americans hurt, our police officers, anyone trying to protect us. But I think the American people have been pushed and pushed until there is no place else to push us. The hatred for this president since 2016, no one on the democrat willing to work with him, the rioting across our United States this summer, the shut down of the people and the shut down of our businesses, tearing down and doing away with the visuals of history. This election, and you know there was cheating. The democrats wanting to change our constitution and control the people. Our morals, in the sewer. Ok to kill a baby day of birth. The folks in DC not there for the people but there for power. Our free country is at the door of not being free anymore. Not only do they hate Trump but anyone who supports him. Or disagrees with them.. I was saddened when Obama became President, but then I thought maybe he is the one to bring this nation together. But he didn't even try, divided it even more and at every level. I don't have that feeling with this administration coming in, and it's scary. We have taken God out of our country, and there is only one God. The other day when that minister said amen awoman and referenced the Hindu god that was wrong. This country was founded on Judeo Christian values. My life here not that many more years, but I hate it for my children and especially my grandchildren. Pray ?? for our country. We need God to intervene..

    I believe that it wasn’t Trump protesters that “stormed” the capital. I believe there was rioters dressed as Trump protesters. The election was a fraud. We may not be able to trust our future elections

    This may seem a little off topic, but I feel may also play into what happened yesterday. Where is the Durham report? Not being released had a profound influence on the election by allowing corruption to remain concealed. Where is the vaunted FBI? This great institution that has been led by such "luminaries"as Hoover, Mueller, Comey and now feckless Wrey. Shouldn't the FBI be playing a role in investigating election fraud?
    Finally, while I am venting, I have to mention my disdain for the gasbag senator Graham. Among the greatest publicity seeking flip floppers I have ever witnessed. He jumps ship at the first hint of rough waters. I'm ashamed that hew wears the GOP label. I had to get this off my chest.

    You are so right ! This election is so wrong but this is what we have . The Republican party is better than this, this is NOT how we behave. Even listening to our President was very disappointing. Some how the Republicans need to be tough and stand up. We have got to be better then what we show and be stronger! I'm sorry our President lost but HE did NOT help our cause by much he has to say. Our elections need to be better

    As an avid listener and reader of your material and a big fan of yours I have to disagree. I don't condone violence but "We the People" are fed up with the hypocrisy of our government. Sometimes we need to take a stand and take our country back. As a Christian and a conservative I will do what's necessary to protect my God given liberties. God bless you and your family!

    Good morning Mr. Huckabee,

    I have long admired your level headed approach to government and read all your newsletters. But I have to say, this is the most tone-deaf article you've written. The government took these people's livelihoods. These aren't democrats on the government dole or trust fund kids playing with guns living in a Chaz, these are proud men and women whose livelihoods, and in some cases, life's work, was yanked out from under them. Furthermore, the democrats then removed their voice in government. And you don't think they should be this angry? What did you think would happen? No offense but you will have your income for life. They don't. They no longer have anything left to lose. I've lived on that knife's edge. And I hope I never forget what that was like.

    Mike Pence is doing what he's told to do by the dems. Read: China.

    With respect,
    Jean Abercrombie

    Mike, quite frankly your calm demeanor during the past few months is interesting to me. The Bible tells us that Almighty God appoints leaders, and the Bible also tells us that Almighty God is returning to take His children to their eternal home. You appear to know this, and this may be the root of your calm demeanor. Nonetheless, the America as we have known America (as detailed in your recent book) is now history, and this foundational shift is disturbing. I witnessed first hand inappropriate (un-"American") activities associated with the election in Dallas County (that were by the way reported to my senator), and my first hand-knowledge includes additional inappropriate activities witnessed by my family members in other states. Un-American activities (by the "blues") in other arenas are and have been under way for months and I guess we might as well get used to this and keep a calm demeanor - as my neighbor stated to me yesterday (yes I am strange because I do know my neighbor) "there ain't nothing we can do about it." The America we have known is history.

    Governor Huckabee,
    I am saddened by the violence. If these people were Trump supporters, it makes us all look bad. Trump did rile up the crowd when stating there would be ‘fireworks’. The media will label all Trump supporters as over zealous conspiracy theorists. My brother says I look silly when I say the election was stolen. He tells me to be quiet. Indicative of the left’s view of us all! I appreciate your newsletters and bible verses! Thank you!

    I can’t believe our representatives and senators that went there to object to the electoral vote count just turned their backs and walked away after being frightened. They are spineless. They went there to do a job and instantly changed colors. They didn’t even care to find out who that was breaching the building. When the capital was secured and they were safe they should have gone back to the job at hand not turned this country totally over to the Democrats. They now have control of every part. The house, the Senate and the presidency. We don’t have a chance. We will be sold to China.

    Yes, January 6th events in Washington were unfortunate. This is an example of Conservatives being pushed to a breaking point. No person is strong enough to watch day after day, month after month cities being decimated AND nothing was/is done about it and what’s worse no one cared. I tried getting information last night on Parler and was blocked!
    Nancy Pelosi, Chuck S., Adam Schiff (Sp? On all the names) are responsible for this summer by their inactiveness and denial. I am sick of of it too and do not blame the events last night on anything but inactiveness on our own government lack of leadership, Democrats or Republican. They are all politicians and want nothing more than what suits their needs.
    I am one of the people who are outraged over the Presidential election. I might have more accepting of the results had ANY of the profound evidence had been examined by anyone of authority. One more example of adding kindling to the fire!
    AND if you think that Antifa was not part of the riots last night than you too turn a blind eye to frustration boiling over.
