Trump Indicates He Has No Regrets About His Actions on Jan. 6

“I had nothing to do with that other than they asked me to make a speech,” Trump said.

When debate moderators asked Donald Trump Tuesday night if there was anything he regretted about his actions on Jan. 6, the former president drew a blank.

“I had nothing to do with that other than they asked me to make a speech,” Trump said. “I showed up for a speech.”

Trump once again denied having any prominent role in the attack on the Capitol — really any role — and blamed the riot on then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
