White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany appeared before reporters Thursday evening to condemn the violence at the nation’s Capitol Wednesday, “on behalf of the entire White House,” while saying the “many thousands who came to have their voices heard” were merely exercising their First Amendment rights.

“Let me be clear,” she said, calling the violence “appalling, reprehensible, and antithetical to the American way. We condemn it, the President and this administration, in the strongest possible terms.”

McEnany did not, on behalf of President Trump or the White House, take any responsibility for the violence despite Trump himself, along with his attorney, Rudy Giuliani, and his son, Donald Trump, Jr., having incited the violence.

She called for “those who broke the law” to be fully prosecuted.

McEnany said the administration grieves for the loss of life, and called law enforcement officers “true American heroes.”

And once again making clear the Trump regime’s disdain for those living, even legally, in the U.S. who are not citizens, McEnany said the administration’s “core value” is that all “citizens have the right to live in safety, peace, and freedom.” She did not say “all Americans,” or “all those living in America.”

Her remarks lasted less than two minutes, and she did not take any questions. McEnany has not held a press briefing since December 15.

Her remarks echo the scene after President Donald Trump was forced to denounce white supremacists after saying there were “very fine people on both sides.” He later said that condemnation was the “the biggest f*cking mistake I’ve made.”

Former Trump Attorney General Bill Barr on Thursday blasted President Donald Trump’s actions that have led to a violent and deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol Building. But some are pinning the blame on the former DOJ chief who many see as Trump’s top enabler and co-conspirator on a wide variety of issues.

Barr is calling Trump’s conduct a “betrayal of his office and supporters,” according to the Associated Press. The former AG also “said Thursday that ‘orchestrating a mob to pressure Congress is inexcusable.'”

Barr is among the highest ranking former Trump administration officials who have criticized the president in the past 24 hours, but many on social media say his protestations ring hollow.

So Bill Barr is finally condemning trump. Never forget he’s the reason the Mueller report was swept under the rug.

Republicans sometimes find their spines after leaving office… when it doesn’t matter at all.

But teargassing and beating peaceful protesters so the president can get a photo op holding a Bible is cool.

What was Bill Barr’s @DOJPH doing to monitor and contain right-wing domestic terrorism? Apparently nothing.

As the news explodes that Democrats are reportedly about to announce a formal impeachment inquiry and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi at 5 PM will announce the path forward, President Donald Trump tweets he has authorized the release of the transcript of the infamous telephone call he had with the president of Ukraine.

“I am currently at the United Nations representing our Country, but have authorized the release tomorrow of the complete, fully declassified and unredacted transcript of my phone conversation with President Zelensky of Ukraine,” Trump, clearly desperate, tweeted.

“You will see it was a very friendly and totally appropriate call. No pressure and, unlike Joe Biden and his son, NO quid pro quo! This is nothing more than a continuation of the Greatest and most Destructive Witch Hunt of all time!” he added.

The Trump White House, including President Trump himself, has a history of falsifying or selectively editing official government documents, and not indicating they are edited, or redrawn, so there is no reason Americans should trust that any transcript the Trump administration releases would be complete or accurate.

It’s also important to remember that, as The New York Times reported last week, the whistleblower complaint details “multiple actions,” so the one telephone call is just the tip of the iceberg.

UPDATE: 2:32 PM ET –
NBC White House Correspondent Kelly O’Donnell proves White House transcripts are not to be trusted:
