Trump slams Jan. 6 hearings as a ‘hoax’ at Arizona campaign rally, as Pence makes rival appearance
Wash Post ^ | 7/23/22 | Nicole Darrah

At a rally Friday night in Arizona, former President Donald Trump railed against the panel investigating the Jan. 6 riot — and his vice president, Mike Pence, who is also contemplating a presidential run, made a rival appearance in the Grand Canyon State.

Speaking in Prescott Valley in support of Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and U.S. Senate candidate Blake Masters, Trump attacked the House select committee investigating the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol in 2021.

Trump said he had watched Thursday night’s hearing, which focused on what he was doing while the violent mob breached the Capitol as Congress was certifying Joe Biden’s 2020 election win. The former president called it a “hoax.”

Trump gave a rousing speech in front of about 6000 people, while Pence squeaked out his message in front of about 300 people. Who has the biggest impact?

Which is why there were 5000/6000 at Trumps rally. His policies lifted the entire country.

And Biden slept through the election and won. Numbers do not matter. The GOPe is no better than the RATS. They will try to force Pence on us hoping he gets the so called Evangelical voting block. I have heard comments to the effect “I like Trump, but Pence is a good Christian man.” Watch out for the GOPe.

I bet they don’t tell you that in the article.

I won’t click on anything sourced to the WP.

They attempted that with JEB!

“Please clap.”

Words that are unnecessary for Trump to utter.

You’re right it didn’t say the numbers. I was actually surprised that the article showed what Trump said in response to the Jan 6 accusations. It was pretty balanced.

**Pence is a good Christian man.” **

By their fruits.... pence does not show it.

He joined Trump.. made it to V Pres.. and then denied any care for the man.. he would not defend Trump.. he fled to the hills hoping for more fortune.

He is a user with no caring except for himself.

He can call himself whatever .. he can’t be trusted.

Trump slams Jan. 6 hearings as a ‘hoax’ at Arizona campaign rally, as Pence makes rival appearance

Beginning just after the stolen 2020 election, I've been consistently saying the Democrats/RINOs will relentlessly bash the Trump name 24/7/365, through 2024, to ensure no person named "Trump" ever considers running for any public office ever again. I've been repeatedly saying that because I know exactly how the Democrat/RINO Mind "thinks." I know those Democrat/RINO fools better than they know themselves. So for the past two years, I've been waiting for a prominent Democrat/RINO to come right out and publicly state what I've been claiming about the angry, desperate Democrats/RINOs. And guess what? A prominent Democrat recently went on Anderson Cooper's show on far-left CNN. Here's the key excerpt from their televised conversation:

Far-left author Tom Friedman (to Anderson Cooper on CNN): "A group of them [RINOs] have to get together. I would love it to be Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger from the committee or whoever, Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney. And they have to run a different Republican Party in the next election to ensure that Donald Trump never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever sits in the Oval Office again."

And there you have it. Thanks, Tommy Boy! And just for the record, that's one "never" and five "evers!" LOL. Desperate Democrats/RINOs are too easily predictable. It's just a shame that President Trump had a bunch of pathetically useless political advisors in his Administration who apparently had literally no clue that the desperate Democrats/RINOs were in the process of stealing the election right before their very eyes. Isn't that what political advisors are supposed to do for the President? Give him great advice regarding politics? Instead, absent any helpful political advice from his entire staff of political advisors, President Trump and all his supporters were shell-shocked by the election steal. Not knowing how to respond, some dopes reacted by foolishly running into the Capitol Building, giving Democrats/RINOs plenty of video footage to play in their farcical "January 6" hearings.

I found this article on AZCentral.com in which it states about the Trump rally at Findlay Toyota Center in Prescott Valley, AZ on Friday, 22JUL2022 that states...

“People came from around the state and elsewhere, including Hawaii and California, to support the former president, nearly filling the arena set up to seat 5,800 people. Some people waited in the 100-degree heat for hours to get into Findlay Toyota Center, some filtered out early as the event stretched past 9:30 p.m.”

The Findlay Toyota Center wiki page states that it has a seating capacity of

6,200 (concerts)
5,100 (basketball)
4,810 (ice hockey)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Findlay_Toyota_Center

This means they had the arena pretty much packed pretty much to capacity.

As for Mike Pence’s rally in Peoria, AZ according to this article it states...

“About 300 supporters were in attendance to watch the former vice president describe Robson as the one true conservative in the nationally watched GOP primary.”

https://www.azfamily.com/2022/07/22/former-vp-mike-pence-speaks-peoria-rally-gop-candidate-karrin-robson/

The result of the dueling rallies was that Trump dominated by a ratio of 20 to 1. This video seems to back up the claims of these stories.

Thanks for the details. Pence’s group probably paid some Rats to get up to 300.

He’s beyond delusional if he thinks for a microsecond that he could beat Trump in the primaries.

He’s the definition of milquetoast.

History demanded an heroic Vice President and AG. Both Pence and Barr failed when greatness called.
