Hogan Gidley: Trump’s Final Days in Office Got a ‘Black Eye’ After Capitol Riot

Former White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley is weighing on President Donald Trump’s final days before he left office.

Gidley, who became the press secretary for Trump’s reelection campaign, spoke with Alex Wagnerfor Showtime’s “The Circus” where Wagner suggested Trump is “going to be remembered for, the final act of his presidency, is a white supremacist mob storming the Capitol and trying to kill lawmakers.”

In response, Gidley said, “Look, there are a lot of things in that administration that happened in four years that people are going to try point to as one seminal thing,” before Wagner added, “He’s getting impeached for a second time for this thing.”

“I’m just trying to point out the fact that, he accomplished a lot from a policy standpoint, he was a lightning rod from a personality standpoint,” the former White House aide said.

He, however, added, “There’s no question this last little bit was a black eye.”

Gidley also said that he does not know if Trump “regrets anything or not,” in how the now-former president handled it.

Pro-Trump protesters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

This came right after Trump spoke at a rally in Washington, D.C., where he suggested they “walk down to the Capitol” to “cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.”
