Trump downplays Jan. 6 on the anniversary of the Capitol siege and calls jailed rioters ‘hostages’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 16:10:19 GMT

NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — Former President Donald Trump, campaigning in Iowa Saturday, marked the third anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol by casting the migrant surge on the southern border as the “real” insurrection.Just over a week before the Republican nomination process begins with Iowa’s kickoff caucuses, Trump continued to claim that countries have been emptying jails and mental institutions to fuel a record number of migrant crossings. There is no evidence that this is the case.“When you talk about insurrection, what they’re doing, that’s the real deal. That’s the real deal. Not patriotically and peacefully — peacefully and patriotically,” Trump said, quoting from his speech on Jan. 6, before a violent mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol as part of a desperate bid to keep him in power after his 2020 election loss.Trump’s remarks came a day after Biden delivered a speech near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, where he cast Trump as a grave...

Sean Payton was carried in New Orleans by one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time in Drew Brees. Same for Bill Belichick by Tom Brady and Mike Shanahan by John Elway. Without a difference-maker at quarterback, the Broncos aren’t going anywhere.M.P.J., football savantKiz: Players win games. Coaches try not to mess it up. During the peak of Brett Favre’s career, I asked Mike Holmgren, then coach in Green Bay and a former quarterback: Is the QB or head coach more essential to the success of an NFL team? Holmgren laughed and replied; “I’ve got to plead the Fifth.” Wilson’s flop with the Broncos reminds us a championship quarterback can make Payton look smart, but for all his alleged genius, Payton can’t make an average NFL quarterback a champion.Kiz, I’ve read you forever and generally agree with your takes, but lately have found your objectivity slipping, with too much anger at the media dissing by Broncos coach Sean Payton.
