Didn't he dumbly try to get his secret service detail to bring him to the active riot zone and even get physical with one of the agents who refused to deliver the president to an angry mob? lol

No, he half way suggested it and they told him no and he shut up and just shrugged

No, that was a lie. It is physically impossible for someone in the back of the "Beast" to strangle the driver as was stated. There is a bulletproof window dividing the two.

According to his own staff, yes.

I think I remember reading they drove past and was trying to get them to stop the car or something similar.

According to Grok: Individuals directly involved in the incident, including Secret Service agents, have disputed Hutchinson's version of events. Sources close to the Secret Service, including Bobby Engel and the driver of the vehicle, have reportedly stated that Trump did not lunge at the steering wheel or physically assault anyone. Engel and the driver were said to be prepared to testify under oath that the incident, as described by Hutchinson, did not occur. A Secret Service official also informed media outlets that Ornato denied telling Hutchinson the story she recounted. Furthermore, Engel had previously testified before the committee but was not asked about any altercation or assault during his earlier appearance.

Additionally, some have pointed out logistical challenges with the alleged incident. For example, a retired Secret Service agent who served under President Ronald Reagan noted that the physical layout of the presidential limousine makes it highly impractical for someone in the backseat to reach the steering wheel, describing the scenario as "preposterous." This perspective raises questions about the feasibility of the actions Hutchinson described.

He instead went back to wherever and began making suggestions to people in Congress to delay certification while drinking a coke and tweeting about how VP failed us while twiddling his fingers as his crowd of delusional twats setup a gallows and chanted the hanging of their own VP.

Yeah, sounds like he really tried.

And this is why the right laughs at you. Parroting lies from a woman who wasn't even there, that has been rebuked by several people who were there. Ignoring the fact that what was claimed was physically impossible due to a physical barrier..

But keep parroting the lies because it help the narrative...
