CNN anchor Dana Bash couldn’t help but chuckle on Sunday morning when former President Donald Trump’s lawyer asserted that there was a “peaceful transfer of power” after the 2020 election, asking him if he’d seen what happened during the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
Adding that Pence also rejected “one of the last and ultimate requests” from Trump to “pause the voting for 10 days,” the Trump lawyer then said: “After that, there was a peaceful transition of power.”
Bash, however, couldn’t contain her laughter.
“What happened on January 6 was not peaceful,” she pointed out.
Lauro, after Bash attempted to pivot to his claim that Eastman is a “respected constitutional attorney,” doubled down on his assertion about Trump ceding power of the government to the Biden administration.
“The transfer of power was certainly peaceful,” he proclaimed.
“Did you see what happened on January 6? Did that look peaceful?” Bash pushed back. The attack on the Capitol, which resulted in dozens of injuries to law enforcement, a handful of deaths and millions of dollars in property damage, has resulted in the arrest and conviction of hundreds of rioters.
