Former President Donald Trump is under criticism after hinting at financial compensation for those involved in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
During an interview with Newsmax host Greg Kelly, Trump praised the rioters, saying they were treated unfairly. He also confirmed that discussions about compensating them were taking place.
“There’s talk about that,” Trump said. “Many in the government support them.” He then shifted the conversation to the size of the crowd at his rally that day.
Public Outrage Over Trump’s Statement
Trump’s remarks sparked widespread criticism on social media. Many pointed out the hypocrisy of compensating rioters while cutting funds for veterans, Social Security, and public services.
Some critics labeled it a “fascist move,” comparing it to regimes that rewarded violent supporters. Others argued that the rule of law should not be undermined by rewarding criminal behavior.
Growing Political Debate
The idea of compensating January 6 rioters has fueled political debate, with opponents arguing that it prioritizes criminals over everyday Americans. Many are calling for a clear stance against financial rewards for those who took part in the Capitol attack.
