Former President Donald Trump is speaking out against what he believes is unfair treatment of rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
During a press conference on Wednesday, a reporter asked Trump what he did to stop the insurrection and why he could not stop it.
Trump mentioned a Congressional report about January 6 and said his name “wasn’t even mentioned.”
The former president explained he was “surprised,” adding, “I would’ve assumed that they would have come up with their typically biased, at least on the Democrats’ side, statement.”
Calling the riot an “unfortunate event,” Trump continued, “People are being treated unbelievably unfairly when you look at people in prison, and nothing happens to Antifa.”

The former president then talked about one of his supporters and Air Force veteran, Ashli Babbit, who was shot and killed by a police officer after storming the Capitol.
“And nobody knows who that man was. If that were the opposite way, that man would be all over, he would be the most well known,” Trump said.
He continued, “I believe I know exactly who it is … But the person who shot Ashli Babbit, boom, right through the head, boom, there was no reason for that.”
