On the third anniversary of the events of Jan. 6, 2021, President Trump called for the release of the “Jan. 6 hostages” who have been held in prison, some of whom have been jailed for months.
He said, “You know what they ought to do? They ought to release the J6 hostages. They’ve suffered enough…I call them hostages, some people call them prisoners, I call them hostages. Release the J6 hostages, JOE.”
The president slammed Joe Biden, stating, “This guy – what he’s done; what’s he’s done to PEOPLE.”
On Saturday, the president delivered a doubleheader of speeches in Iowa, starting in Newton and concluding his remarks in Clinton, showing up for eager supporters despite weather and travel delays. He also gave two speeches on Friday.
The president remarked, “Victory can’t come soon enough.”
President Trump was greeted in Clinton with massive energy from the crowd. He delivered comments that touched on the ongoing border crisis, the global violence that has erupted overseas, and Joe Biden’s disastrous administration.
“If he would have gone to the beach and left everything alone, he would have had the safest border,” Trump remarked. “…We had the greatest border in history, and now we have the worst border in the history of the WORLD.”
He also slammed former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., calling them “globalists” who would not protect the interests of the United States. Both Haley and DeSantis are attempting to run against Trump in 2024 for the Republican nomination.
Trump eviscerated both of them as “disloyal.” He further warned that Haley and DeSantis would grant amnesty to illegal aliens if they were to ever get into the White House.
“You know, there’s a rumor that Ron’s going to leave the race right after this,” Trump concluded. “…I’m thinking more about November.”
