Mary Trump Shares Harsh Words About Donald Trump Jr.’s Texts On January 6 – The List

Mary Trump made headlines discussing tests sent by Donald Trump Jr. to President Trump's former chief of staff, Marj Meadows. The texts were released during a meeting of the committee investigating the riots at the Capitol on January 6th. In one text, Trump Jr. wrote about his father, "He's got to condemn this s*** ASAP. The Capitol Police tweet is not enough" (via CNN).

During an interview on MSNBC's "Last Word" with host Lawrence O'Donnell, Mary Trump did not hold back when asked this question, "Why was your cousin Don Jr. texting Mark Meadows on Jan. 6 instead of calling his dad?" Her response followed, "...in this particular instance, it's simply cowardice because Donnie knew the message he was sending was a message his father did not want to hear" (via People).

Mary agreed with her cousin, believing former President Trump could have put the violence to rest with one statement. "What they also knew though was that even though a horrific situation had gotten out of hand, they were directly responsible for creating it, as was Donald, and he was reveling in it," she said. "The only thing that disappointed him was that it didn't work that day."
