CHAPTER 7

Brad Parscale, Trump's Former Campaign Manager, texted Katrina Pierson at 7:21 p.m. on January 6th, saying the day's events were the result of a "sitting president asking for civil war."[340]

"This week I feel guilty for helping him win . . . a woman is dead," Parscale added.

"You do realize this was going to happen," Pierson answered.

"Yeah. If I was trump [sic] and knew my rhetoric killed someone," he said.

"It wasn't the rhetoric," she said.

Parscale's reply: "Yes it was."[341]

ENDNOTES

  1. As explained in Chapter 8, the Proud Boys and other extremists initiated the attack shortly before the joint session of Congress was set to begin at 1:00 p.m. The rioters who streamed down Pennsylvania to the U.S. Capitol from the Ellipse then provided crucial momentum for the attack.
