GOP White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany holds a press conference Thursday (7) at 5:00 p.m. EST.
On Thursday (7) at 5:00 p.m. EST, GOP White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany held a press conference to condemn the violence and promise an orderly transition of power. This was broadcast live by New Tang Dynasty and Epoch Times (with simultaneous Chinese translation).
McEnany said she was delivering the message today (7) on behalf of the entire White House. She said, “Let me make clear that what we saw yesterday at the Capitol was appalling, reprehensible, and inconsistent with the American idea.”
McInerney said, “The president and this administration strongly condemn it. It’s unacceptable, and these people who break the law should be subject to judicial prosecution.”
At the time of last year’s historic church-burning riots, McInerney said, “I stood here, too, and I said then, ‘The First Amendment gives people the right to assemble peacefully, but that’s not what we saw last night in Washington and across America,’ and that’s not what we saw in Congress yesterday afternoon That’s not the case.”
McInerney said, “We mourn for those who lost their lives and those who were injured, and we pray for them in our hearts. We thank our law enforcement officers, who are truly American heroes.”
She said, “What we saw yesterday was a violent mob that undermined the legitimacy of the tens of thousands of people who came to the capital to peacefully assemble and speak out under the First Amendment. These people who are violently wreaking havoc on Congress are the opposite of the ideas that we support in this administration.”
McInerney said, “The core philosophy of our administration in this term is that every citizen can live safely, peacefully and freely. And every member of the White House is now working to ensure an orderly transfer of power.”
“It’s time for us, the American people, to come together and reject the violence we see. We are one American people under God, one body.” She said.
On Wednesday afternoon (6), a joint session of Congress to certify the next president was interrupted by a protesting crowd during which the certification process was interrupted, lawmakers evacuated and the Capitol was temporarily locked down. Trump released a video calling on protesters to go home peacefully.
After police cleared the room, Congress continued to certify after 8 p.m. In the early hours of Thursday (Jan. 7), it certified Democratic candidate Joe Biden’s Electoral College vote as the winner, with Biden and Trump (Trump) receiving 306:232 votes.
President Trump later issued a statement saying that while he disagreed completely with the results, he was committed to an orderly transition on Jan. 20. He also said he would continue to fight and that “for ‘Make America Great Again,’ this is just the beginning of our fight!”
