  1. You're not going to find anything on this man he's totally innocent. Seriously? All the Democrats put together aren't fit to hold Trump's coat

  2. WE LOVE YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP ❤ RED NATION UNDER GOD ♥️🇺🇲🇱🇷🇧🇻✝️🔙

  3. Trump is evil as Putin. Can't believe he's planning to run for 2024.

    Russians don't believe there's war in Ukraine. Many Americans believe Trump won the election.

    What is going on? Wake Up America!

  4. This evening shows what an absolute lying disgusting coward Donald Trump is and has always been. How many peoples lives were ruined because of this sociopath?

  5. I would like thank president Trump for opening my eye about this government we have and you know we are the people.

  6. HARVARD IS NOT A SCHOOL I WOULD BRAG ON ,
    MAYBE AT ONE TIME BUT NOT NOW !

  7. FUN FACT: Of the 45 million jobs created since 1989, 43 million — nearly 96% — have been created under Democratic presidents.

  8. FBI : " I can't answer that "

    After being asked if they had agents causing violence on j6

  9. Wow as a trump supporter I found this incredibly $Tupid . We need Harvard libs to find out that trump was responsible for the Rally which later turned into a riot . The question is was he repsoibke for the riot ? No .

  10. MOTIVATED BY THE ELECTION RIGGING OF 2020 IT WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE BIGGEST CRIME EVER COMMITTED ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE !!! AND JAN 6 WAS A WEAPONIZED FBI ORCHESTRATED FALSE FLAG INTENDED AS MISDIRECTION !!!
    NO GOVERNMENT GRANT NEEDED TO TELL YOU THIS EITHER !!!

  11. Duh. Whose this study supposed to influence. If people respect trump, they won't respect Harvard and vise versus. How about a study on how certain individuals like Charles Koch, Mercer & Murdoch have been mercilessly murdering American society and Democracy?

  12. So, we can trust what we saw?

    It is amazing how much we gaslight ourselves.

  13. 99.99% angry white people that think they are entitled to everything

  14. This how democracies fall to tyrants.

  15. LOL. A left-media post and most commenters think it’s BS.

  16. Trump never called for invading the building, but the security police encouraged the invasion of the building what about that ?
    Hahaha hahaha 😆
    You will never burn Trump sorry but true.
    TRUMP 2024

  17. Remember the FBI had uncover agents throughout the crowd .
    So either they knew what was going to happen and allowed it or they was part of the group inciting the riot ! They’re not innocent in either way

  18. Democrats pushed misinformation about Russia collusion and said the 2016 election was illegitimate !

  19. Why is everyone in left media always bug eyed weirdos?

  20. Guys, guys, you GOTTA stop. I know your trying to capture those ratings again. But listen, you are news. Please start reporting current events again and not twitter fodder. There's soo much going in the world. Why are you wasting so much time and money on digging at an ex president? Can you report the news? Is that possible? I want to know. Is that too much to ask?

  21. Fired SS Agents that erased texts

  22. Do if they would had hung MP …. T would be free running for President again …b 4 real

  23. Whatever reason that's not American

  24. There are "Three Amigos" in the world. Putin, Xi, and Trump.

  25. HARVARD THE WAKE SCHOOL, BIAS PEOPLE SHOULD NOT DO STUDY'S!!! MAGA

  26. Barbie's Abortion "Urban Riot Control"

  27. 😭 Harvard didn’t need to tell me this lol

  28. Be assured that the evil man will not go unpunished .and the righteous shall be delivered.

  29. Basically Trump's art of the deal book is all a lie.
