He doesn't remember why he thought that? Does he not think that now? (Actually, with this coked up idiot, he might not remember even that he thought something, much less why.)Trump Jr. discussed his efforts to convince then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to get his father to say something that might calm the crowd that attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, forcing the evacuation of lawmakers set to certify the results of the 2020 election.
“He’s got to condemn this shit. Asap. The Capitol Police tweet is not enough,” Trump Jr. wrote in a text to Meadows the afternoon of Jan. 6. The text has been previously reported. Former President Trump had earlier urged people in a tweet to respect the Capitol Police, who were overrun by a mob seeking to get into the Capitol to stop the counting of the Electoral College vote.

The transcript includes a number of instances of Trump Jr. saying he does not remember or recall certain questions or statements, such as why he thought the Capitol Police tweet sent by his father was not enough.

Ha! He was afraid of confronting the old asshole.He said he sought to reach Meadows and not his father via the telephone because his father doesn’t text and because he didn’t want to have a conversation with his father that others could hear.
Ever the mob references with this family.“I wasn’t in the White House to help with that, I wasn’t there, so I don’t know what happened. But I did think we just needed to be more forward and move out there at that point.”

Trump Jr. also texted Meadows that he had to “go to the mattresses” to get his father to condemn the violence. Asked about the remark, Trump Jr. said it was a “Godfather” reference and that it meant Meadows needed to go “all in” in convincing Trump to issue a different statement.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
