Trump Faces Backlash for Calling Jan. 6 a 'Day of Love'

In recent comments, Trump shifts his narrative on the Capitol attack, aligning with the rioters and contradicting previous condemnations.

Donald Trump, the 2024 Republican presidential nominee, has softened his stance on the January 6 Capitol attack, referring to it as a 'day of love.'
Trump's recent comments at a Univision forum contrast his initial condemnation of the attack, where he labeled it a 'heinous attack' and distanced himself from the rioters.
Over 1,500 people have been charged in connection with the Capitol siege, with more than 1,100 convictions and over 600 prison sentences issued.
Critics, including former Capitol Police officers, have condemned Trump's rhetoric, arguing it undermines the severity of the attack and the injuries sustained by law enforcement.
Trump has promised to consider pardoning those convicted for their roles in the January 6 events, further aligning himself with the individuals involved.
