“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.

    Thank you for giving voice to so many of us. This makes me angry and sick. We have a right to express our frustration, but violence is wrong and unacceptable. Those who committed these crimes today should be punished to the full extent of the law. I pray they are caught and we find out the truth about who is behind it.

    We have been the party of law and order. Where has it gotten us? The Left has perfected evil. The protestors may have been infiltrated by antifa and blm, so even when we peacefully protest, we get excoriated. The press is in on it. Frankly, I don't think President Trump needed to be any stronger in his condemnation. People traveled clear across the country, and he tells them it's time to go home? NO! We have tried every other recourse - courts, Congress, media, peaceful protests - no one is listening. No one believes Biden won. What are we supposed to do? Why weren't Leftist rioters called out? Now the Left is aghast? This is bull shit. Everyone I know is fed up. I am a senior citizen, have never been arrested, but I'm done. I'm ready to riot. I don't want anyone hurt, but it did not bother me that the Capitol was breached other than their security apparently sucks, which is a different concern. I would rather the Capitol have broken windows than people's businesses go down the toilet after rioters burn city blocks to the ground. I respect you, but you are not grasping how infuriated people are right now. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's getting worse. Something needs to be done. I am enraged beyond reason. The Left is evil and is about to take down this country. So no, the President was just fine in his rebuke.

    I believe the unruly people at the Capitol were the antifa. I heard that at least one bus load was in the crowd of Trump supporters.

    Saw a clip showing the police opening the gates so everyone could walk in
    Other clips saw the violent ones all dressed in costumes one had his name at the bottom of his pic "antifa..."
    So set up to discredit the peaceful protestors

    Antifa said they bussed to DC yesterday and infiltrated in Trump clothes. I would be surprised if True Trump supporters did this. I heard people came from Florida to Georgia to vote out in country And lots other fraud. So terrible we just pray?????? So sad??we love Trump and Pence so much.

    after 4 years of the Left and Democrats attacking Trump and his supporters, I don't blame his supporters for striking back. I have also read that their were members of Antifa and BLM in the group and they were the ones who caused the most damage

    Thru the video I've seen it appeared the core of the violence was Antifa. As a supporter of President Trump all of us only want a forensic audit of swing states and the truth. I hope that our representatives know that this is no game and process theater won't work. Because of the radical agenda the Democrats are trying to force on our nation and the harm it will cause every citizen we must insist on a process of law to determine the truth. I believe that without the truth we won't have a legitimate government or peace.

    Violence is wrong. Breaking the law is wrong. Voter fraud is wrong. If in fact there is so much evidence of voter fraud, corruption, crooked politicians, etc., why is our President so powerless to do something. The time for talk is over.

    I'm sickened by today's events and the media reports (lies)! Antifa carrying Trump flags and wearing MAGA hats committed violence, not Conservatives! Our country is lost! We were asleep and the enemy came. God has judged us and we are condemned for tolerating evil: abortion, same sex marriage and all that goes with it! Come Lord Jesus! Maranatha!

    I liked Trump for all the things he did for our country,but loyalty stops when he puts down the Vice President! Mike Pense is following the constitution to the letter and he should! Sorry President Trump you must face the reality of defeat! Unfair,corruption at all levels true but reality! May God be with you!

    Marjorie Taylor Greene 14th District from GA should have known asking people to come to DC today something like destroying property would happen. Always a bad apple in a gathering of thousands.

    The checks and balances in our federal government will become a thing of the past if Biden gets in, or should I say, Harris. Prepare to see the US gradually turn into another USSR. Our freedoms will continue to be lost and what remains of us, with some of the deadly COVID vaccines, will eventually reduce our population significantly. I also fear a militany invasion from China, and maybe Russia and her allies, once Biden has reduced our military to fund his socialistic welfare programs. What will remain of us will be slavery once our Second Amendment rights have been repealed. I am not optimistic at all. This country is in great danger, from within and without. No one really believes that in all honesty.The cartoon character Pogo, said it best, “I have seen the enemy, and he is us!”.

    Is it possible that Antifa was responsible for the violence? I read where they were encouraging their followers to dress like Trump followers, blend in, wear their caps backwards so they could identify each other and cause violence so Trump supporters would be blamed.... where one of the policemen opened the door and let the protesters in the Capital building. I know we cannot believe
    everything we read but it’s a real possibility?
    The media has caused a lot of what has happened. When people destroyed cities, burned businesses nothing was done but now people are aghast? The American people have been lied to over and over, elections stolen, our hard earned money given to foreign countries when our own people are hurting from their livelihood taken away because of the virus. None of this is right.....I am a Christian and have been an am praying right now that God will intervene. We have slaughtered millions of babies......God will not tolerate such things....God help us! ??????????????????

    Michael, you've done us a disservice. Antifa "protesters" were let in the gates before the Trump rally folks even got there. It was reported as Antifa, then changed (edited)by the media that posted it to Trump supporters. Y'all might check your sources before climbing on the "bash bus" . Anyone who has even the slightest idea what's going on would know that the Antifa thugs were planning violence (it's what they do, by the way), to disrupt and deceive. Lin Wood posted photographic evidence of the Antifa thugs breaking in, guess that means that Trump supporters let them. But then, you don't care much for Mr. Wood and that discredits him, right? I'm sorry Michael, but you thrown in the towel. It still is about fraud, and massive fraud that will, in any election in the future, nullify an opposing vote to any Leftist/Democrat. That mountainous pile of trouble is now off the table because of protesters gone bad, which was entirely predictable and yet, everyone acts outraged and surprised. Antifa and the strings that pull them apparently have fooled the civilized world......again. I guess you want us all to sit back and let the evil win. Forget about how this is a battle , the Socialist State vs. the American Republic. No, I have not stopped fervently praying for the salvation of the Republic. We've lain down for far too long and now, we are told to quit and accept evil. I'd say you first, but I only know what you've posted, not what you really think or believe. It's been said that "Traditions are group efforts to keep the unexpected from happening." That is most relevant in two places, the church and politics.

    Dear Mr Huckabee-
    I treasure your newsletters and daily bible verses. I am a Trump supporter, but 'those' at the Capital Building do NOT represent me. President Trump is still our leader and should have been more commanding in his response to these actions. When I listened to his speech this morning, I just shook my head what he said about Vice President Pence. He has been very loyal to President Trump, and felt that the VP did what he thought was right. I live my life the same way, and try to do the right thing in all of my actions. You are really the only 'outlet' that I trust. Keep up the good work, and God Bless you, and God Bless America!

    I totally dislike violence!! But as Beck warned “there would be antagonists from the left such as BLM AND ANTIFA!” Of course we will never hear the real truth! Either way it’s wrong!
    VP Pence is a good man, but I think that our constitutional right has been taken away from us. A TOTAL Fraud of an election! Where are our rights?? Who has the Guts to stand up for us in Washington DC?? President Trump has to best of his ability! But when all his allies turn coat on him is blasphemy! Pure and simple..
    God Bless America!! And this nation! God Bless President Trump!

    Mike- I condemn the violence but I believe it was Antifa that perpetrated it rather than Trump supporters. You might want to verify this.

    I am very confused. All the cheating, flawed ballots, extra ballots, the inventor of the scanner, the tampering with the software changing ballots, 1000s of people who saw the cheating, the 100ks taken to the shredder late at night, etc. What happened??? Is it all over and CRIME pays?? In the future voting is not secure. As we unfortunately head toward socialism with controlling us, like in those countries voting is meaningless. Unless we challenge it, future elections are meaningless as the godless DEMOS will control everything. PS- We need to REPENT and call on God to forgive. I appreciate your daily letter and Key Bible Verse. Our hope is in CHRIST alone. John 3:16-17, etc.

    Dear Governor,

    Congress is an elitist class which is above the law! As you probably already know, the benefits they receive for the “do-nothing” performance they provide the American people is disgraceful. We are not “all in this together.” They continue to receive their $175,000.00 salaries (more for those in leadership roles!) while the rest of Americans are dying, going out of business, suffering during this pandemic. Trump was the one President of/for the working class. Maybe this incursion by these Trump loyalists is a “wake-up call” to Congress, and let’s hope it doesn’t turn into another French Revolution!

    Well, whatever happened today was all for naught. Trump folded, Pence took a dive and McConnell? Well, he betrayed all Americans. Especially those in the GOP and it's supporters. I don't know what the garbage in the House and Senate expected. In fact, I don't know what anyone expected. I find it laughable after the months of riots, looting and arson by Marxist Negroes and Self hating white liberals, that the Democrats would be "aghast" that a small group of Trump supporters would "storm" the capitol building. If in fact they were Trump supporters. But I also have to think about what those who fought in the American Revolution would have to say if we didn't at least try to get our hands on the tyrants who have thrust over 100 million patriots into absolute despotism in our own country. It's likely they would sit bewildered as to why those in attendance didn't try to burn the building to the ground. As it has now become a den of greed driven power mad criminals. As for the "Police?" Let's all remember those in the FBI who ran a "coup attempt" on our duly elected President for the past 4 years. The Capitol cops are simply the "Verboten SS" (Reichstag Storm Troops) for the criminals who are now running our government. We are the party of Law and Order. But those laws are written in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Not dictated by the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer or Mitch McConnell.

    I've always maintained that Republicans don't do this, this is the arena of the Dems. If it turns out that these people really were Republicans, they need to be loudly condemed by all of us. Including President Trump. I turned off the national news as it was nothing but a heightened bash Trump event. But please, Mr. President, take a very strong stand against this without any equivocation.

    Governor, up front I will declare that I do not support violence as a way to solve anything, but conservatives and Trump supporters have become so frustrated with the Washington establishment, the media, the judicial, lawmakers, and the Left in general it is understandable that the tempers flare on the part of a few that can't control themselves. For 4 years, the Left has supported violence of Antifa, BLM and democrats including the current so called vice president elect, telling them they should continue violence. We have see that their violence has accomplished what they wanted. Governors, mayors, judges, police departments, and even the supreme court has kowtowed to them for fear of what they might do next. The media has made them heroes, and one violent law breaking individual was memorialized because of the violence by BLM.

    SO, when a segment of the country is totally marginalized and has no representation, no one held accountable for the wrongs done to them, the Left has proven that violence is the one option that draws enough attention to get things changed. This election WAS stolen! Where does one go to get the truth exposed when authorities at the Local, State, Federal and even the courts will not even consider or hear the evidence. This isn't a case where the people have spoken and we the losers just need to go along and install a person as president that didn't even attempt to campaign because he knew the path had been paved for him to win. It IS time for patriots to do whatever is necessary to bring this atrocity to the forefront and get it exposed. If it cannot be corrected, conservatives will never win another election because, like in Georgia, some republicans didn't vote because, what's the use? If this election stands with these two communists being installed as the leaders of this nation, I for one will probably not vote in a national election again. I consider our nation handed over to the Chinese and we are doomed!

    Mike,
    I suspect the Democrats planted people to incite violence or would not be surprised if down the road we find that the instigators were part of Kamala's OPPO, because they cannot allow an outsider who truly loved the American people and wanted to MAKE and KEEP AMERICA GREAT to ever take office of the President. I pray to God this is not true, but honestly Mike the Liberal far-left Democrats are so ruthless I would not be surprised if we learn this. When you push us proud Americans into a corner and now that we must allow four years of our country being converted to Socialism make sense why they snapped. However, we are much better than this, so I too condemn the violence. Mike I truly think God has abandoned the US because of all the corruption, abortions, sexual immorality, lies (fake news) and every sin you can think of. I honestly cannot blame God for abandoning us Christians, because we continue to allow the far-left democrats to destroy our country and for sure act like Satan is calling the shots for all Democrats. I honestly hope you broadcast my message on your show and spread it nationwide, because we Christians also need to repent of all our sins too. I am really upset (mad) with God right now, but I will always love our God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, but I like many are struggling with why God is allowing the evil Democrats from taking over all control?? All I and I suspect all Christians wanted was to keep God and Jesus Christ in our nation and continue to help all Americans with meaningful employment, good healthcare, safety and possibly limit the killing of God's children (abortions) and people (killings in our Liberal cities). I cannot tell you how empty and in shock I am in the outcome of the elections and why most others cannot see the election corruption which occurred, I still think the Dominion voting machine in GA changed my votes in both elections? I wish I could get the county and state to provide me my ballot number and how I voted to truly find the truth???
