ABC News host Jonathan Karl called out Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) after he suggested Jan. 6 rioters "just wandered into the Capitol."
During a Sunday interview on ABC's This Week, Karl confronted Cotton with a statement he made following the Jan. 6 riot at the U. S. Capitol.
"It's past time for the president to accept the results of the election, quit misleading the American people, and repudiate mob violence," Cotton said at the time.
"More than three years later, Trump has still not accepted the results," Karl noted.
Donald Trump's former campaign press secretary and White House communications director Hope Hicks nervously took the stand on Friday and immediately broke out in tears.

Trump continues to find the very worst people who want to sell their souls to shill for him during his cult rallies. This week he held a rally in Wisconsin in between court appearances and nap-time in Manhattan, and helped a Wisconsin restaurant owner spew this nonsense:
On Wednesday, vegan restaurant owner Shana Gray joined former President Donald Trump on stage for his rally in Waukesha, Wis., where they claimed that her restaurant, which opened in 2023, did better when Trump was in office.
FIfteen minutes into Trump’s 78-minute rally, he explained that Gray’s business has been struggling under Joe Biden’s administration and that she was “doing better” during the Trump years.
“Shana says her business is being brutalized by the soaring cost of food,” Trump said on stage.
