Liz Cheney Publicizes Donald Trump Jr. Text Messages, Manages to Kneecap Her January 6th Conspiracy Narrative – Opinion

The January 6th Committee has begun to dig through Mark Meadows’ text messages. The ex-Chief of Staff to Donald Trump was contacted numerous times by different figures on the Capitol breach day, asking Meadows for information.

Donald Trump Jr. sent one such message. But while Liz Cheney, who revealed the message during a hearing, appears to think it bolsters her and her colleagues’ fevered conspiracy theory about January 6th, the reality is that it kneecaps it.

Here’s what Don Jr. had to say per The Hill.

“He’s got to condemn this shit ASAP,” Donald Trump Jr. texted Meadows as the attack was underway.

“I’m pushing it hard. I agree,” Meadows replied.

But when the president still did not act, his eldest son reached out again to Trump’s chief of staff, according to Jan. 6 Committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.The series of texts was read by, who attended Monday’s hearing.

“We need an Oval Office address. He must take the lead. It has gone too far and gotten out of hand,” Trump Jr. texted.

It wasn’t just Don Jr. who thought things had gone too far, either. Laura Ingraham, Brian Kilmeade, and Sean Hannity all texted Meadows while the breach was occurring, warning that what was happening could destroy Donald Trump’s legacy. Whether that was the end result or not is a matter of opinion, but that’s not really the point here.

This is not a grand conspiracy to overthrow America’s government. Instead, it is the most important takeaway. Liz CheneyPublic speculation has been made by others, including myself.

Are we to believe that Donald Trump orchestrated “what happened on January 6th” but didn’t let his own son in on it? Or that Trump didn’t share his plans with any of his closest confidantes in the media? This is a strange belief to have, considering Meadows replied to the texts in agreement and noted that he was working with Trump on his response.

It’s clear that Donald Trump was surprised by what occurred on January 6, regardless of his opinions. Given what we know, the idea that Trump devised and implemented a master plan to take power and stay in office was absurd. Besides, it makes even less sense when you consider that it…didn’t happen. You normally don’t want to implement a coup. Trump instead denounced the event, even though it took a while longer than many would like. Trump then left without raising any objections.

Again, I ask you what the purpose of the January 6th Committee is. They certainly aren’t going to dig into the questions surrounding the FBI’s involvement, and there’s just no evidence whatsoever that Trump or anyone else in the administration knew what was going to happen that day. Meadows, or anyone else who might be discussing the election and/or possible fraud, isn’t the same thing as supporting a compromise of the Capitol Building.

Cheney and her associates have one last straw: to try to accuse Trump of not reacting quickly after discovering what was going on. However, they should never forget that insane conspiracy theory they had been spinning for over a year and settled for these political scraps.
