Our initial condemnation of the Capitol Hill violence has, so far, drawn close to 600 responses. It’ll take a while to go through them all, but here are a few examples from across the opinion spectrum…

From Sherry:

You are so right! This election is so wrong, but this is what we have. The Republican Party is better than this; this is NOT how we behave. Even listening to our President was very disappointing. Somehow the Republicans need to be tough and stand up. We have got to be better than what we show and be stronger! I'm sorry our President lost but HE did NOT help our cause by much he has to say. Our elections need to be better.

From the Gov:

Thanks, Sherry. One important note: Even if elections are tainted by fraud, we HAVE to continue voting. If Georgia Republicans had voted in their senatorial run-offs at the same level they voted on Nov. 3, we'd still have the Senate. People who stayed home turned the whole government over to leftists. Remember: the closer the margin, the easier the fraud!

From David:

As an avid listener and reader of your material and a big fan of yours, I have to disagree. I don't condone violence but "We the People" are fed up with the hypocrisy of our government. Sometimes we need to take a stand and take our country back. As a Christian and a conservative, I will do what's necessary to protect my God given liberties. God bless you and your family!

From the Gov:

David, I appreciate that you wrote, but this action did not “take our country back.” It SET our country back and gave the left a gift tied with a big blue ribbon. With everything good that Trump should be remembered for, his legacy has been largely destroyed, at least for now, by a relatively small group of protesters. We have to find better ways to protect our liberties, ways that don’t backfire spectacularly as this one has.

From William:

My SPIRIT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN! THE TRUST HAS BEEN SHATTERED! HENCEFORTH I WILL STRIVE STRICTLY TO DO MY DUTY FOR GOD, FAMILY, AND THERE IS VERY LITTLE CAN BE DONE FOR OUR REPUBLIC! ALL MY LIFE POLITICIANS LIE, STEAL AND KILL! THEY START WARS TO KILL OUR YOUNG MEN AND VOTE TO KILL THE UNBORN! I AM RETIRED AND BEEN DISABLED 18 YEARS, HAVE HAD 21 SURGERIES, WAS CAPTAIN 27 YEARS, AND SERVED 32 YEARS IN THE HOUSTON FIRE DEPARTMENT. GROWING UP IN A MILITARY FAMILY, DAD FOUGHT IN NORMANDY-GERMANY-FRANCE, AND KOREA, AND MOM WAS A NAVY NURSE IN WWII. BROTHERS ARMY, AIR FORCE AND MARINES! I HAVE A RIGHT TO BE MAD AND I BELIEVE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS LOVE OUR LAND ARE VERY ANGRY AND THIS WILL NOT GO AWAY ANY TIME SOON! AMERICAS ENEMY ARE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE! THEY ARE ALWAYS AGAINST "WE THE PEOPLE"! PASTOR HUCKABEE I LOVE YOU AND TRULY BELIEVE YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN MANY LIVES AND YOUR SHOW IS GREAT.

From the Gov:

Thank you; I’m glad you like the show. William, we’re all angry and have a right to be. But just lashing out is not going to help the cause of conservatism, and this time, it did a tremendous amount of damage.

We’re in no position to condemn violence on the Angry Left if we’re going to use the same tactics. We can’t become the very thing we hate. The double standard exists, to be sure, as those on the left get away with violence, and as realists we have to be mindful of that when contemplating our actions, as they will be turned and used against us by the left whenever possible. The challenge will be how to channel this anger into responses that will do some good. If I CAN make a difference right now, I hope it will be in helping more people understand this.

From Nick:

I am saddened by the violence. If these people were Trump supporters, it makes us all look bad. Trump did rile up the crowd when stating there would be ‘fireworks’. The media will label all Trump supporters as overzealous conspiracy theorists. My brother says I look silly when I say the election was stolen. He tells me to be quiet. Indicative of the left’s view of us all!

From the Gov:

Thanks for writing, Nick. Unfortunately, all true, except for the part about you looking silly. Don't let your brother intimidate you.

From Gennifer (excerpt):

Yes, January 6th events in Washington were unfortunate. This is an example of Conservatives being pushed to a breaking point. No person is strong enough to watch day after day, month after month cities being decimated AND nothing was/is done about it and, what’s worse, no one cared...I am one of the people who are outraged over the Presidential election. I might have been more accepting of the results had ANY of the profound evidence been examined by anyone of authority. One more example of adding kindling to the fire!

From Karen (excerpt):

I agree with you. Our Constitution should be followed to the letter. But where was the SCOTUS? They could have stopped all this...By not ruling on the States not following their own Constitution, the States brought forward illegitimate electoral votes. THIS FACT is what lit the powder keg. This is America, we are Americans and we get mad when our rights are infringed upon…All we asked for, or wanted, was an honest election. We would have tolerated a legitimate Biden win. It was not a legitimate win; we have been blocked from proving either way. And now, God worshipping, law abiding, Deplorables are ANGRY!

From the Gov:

Completely understandable. Even so, Karen, we cannot allow ourselves to be the powder keg. The left WANTED to ignite it. Just two days later, we’re already getting an idea of how they plan to use this turn of events. Plus, they’re blaming Trump –- Biden is grotesquely exaggerating on that point –- to the extent that they’re now talking about impeachment (again) or using the 25th Amendment to destroy any political future he might have. Maybe the rioters intended to “help” Trump, but they hurt him immeasurably. If they wanted to change the course of history, they certainly did, but in a very, very bad way.

The way to help Trump would have been to have all 200,000 people show up in peaceful support of him, while legislators offered words of wisdom and truth inside the chamber. Imagine how differently that would have played. How I wish we could get in the Way-Back Machine and go back two days to fix this, but we can’t.

Finally, this from Nancy:

I, too, am appalled at the violence and disrespect shown for our institutions. I share the belief that the election results were fraudulent, but they will not be overturned by behavior that echoes the despicable rioting of the anarchists. I am praying for America that God's mercy would heal our land. I am praying that He will foil the plans of the wicked and give wisdom and courage to His followers.

From the Gov:

Thanks, Nancy. Wisdom and courage are definitely what we need right now. Certainly we all must exercise that wisdom to see what you have pointed out –- that even a fraudulent election will not be overturned by violence. That just results in tragedy and compounds the problems we and our country face.

I’ll end by offering some stories told by people who were there in the crowd on Wednesday, describing what it was like for them that day and what they think of what happened.

    There were 2 sets of people at the Capital on Wednesday. I believe there were the patriots (the people there to support their president). Then came along the second set of people. The ones that caused all the trouble. They made the patriots look bad. From what I saw, the patriots were just there for support and were doing just fine until the second set appeared. That's when things got bad and ruined it for everyone and got people hurt. I think this second set was planned to make the patriots look like a bunch of thugs which they weren't.

    For your eyes only. Shocked you so readily accepted these were Trump's people. I watched all 6 or so hours on Victory Channel and did not see these people. They have so much picture proof that this was Antefa. I challenge you to get together with AmericaStands or Breakpoint and see their evidence. Don't let this be like the election where there is credible evidence but a person like yourself will not take a look at it. This was yet another attempt to smear Trump. If you look at the evidence, please let your curiosity be at ready alert. Where were the police when the window was broken. How were they able to pose for shots in the Senate and Pelosi's office and post them and no cops were there? Something smells to high heaven! The people going in the broken window had on helmets, and riot gear as well as MAGA gear. Please get together with AmericaStands and Breakpoint and look at their pictorial evidence. Please don't let your viewers and President Trump down at this critical time. Martha Black, a fan.

    Dear Mr. Huckabee,
    Trump had NOTHING to do with the protests. Violent leftists pushing the envelope for quite a few years with ZERO repercussions, antagonizing, lying media, freedom stealing big tech, leftist politicians throwing fuel on the fire had EVERYTHING to do with it. The damage and blood are on THIER hands. The stunning thing is they CONTINUE with the same-actually worse behavior! THEY WILL cause a full fledged war if they don’t STOP it. What about this Alzheimer’s patient for a president and his vicious side kick??? THEY are hypocrites. They attacked Trump saying he didn’t bring calm during his presidency, yet THEY throw GAS on flames with their remarks since the protests. People aren’t stupid-they see, and the two of them along with media and tech are showing us what is to be and it’s VERY BAD. The PEOPLE will not tolerate this.

    I marched at the Save America rally. It was all very peaceful until the end. I wanted to stand for Election Integrity, which I feel Nov. 3rd was fraudulent and those did the fraud/lied should be prosecuted. It is very sad that Trump's team was not allowed access to the ballots /machines and the evidence they had shared with those in authority. Supreme Court and Congress let us down. I definitely condone any violence and hearing President Trump's speech, do not feel he is responsible for any of the violence. It was not the intent to broke into the Capital (for 99%+ of the marchers). My feeling, the leaders who initially invaded the Capital building were not Trump supporters. Trump supporters tried to stop these people (belief were from Antifa and BLM) from entering. Thank you for your reporting and views. I read your email every day.

    I am a bit confused as to why it is said that the riots were Trump supporters? From people that were actually there they are confirming the riots were definitely not from Trump supporters but from Trump-haters, eve ANTIFA. I don't know one Trump supporter that would ever have committed these acts.
    I would like to know your opinion on VP Pence's decision on the electoral votes. No conservatives seem to be talking about it. I was also surprised at Trump calling him out. Do you believe Pence is being obedient to what he believes God told him to do or is he just being a politician and looking out for himself? It seems everyone is betraying Trump.
    Thanks for your time.

    What happened was wrong, BUT to blame the POTUS or any other Republicans supporting him is wrong. Blame the Republicans that cowered instead of standing up for the Anerican people that elected them. Blame the Democrats for supporting the looting, riots and violence over the last 9 months. What happened at the Capitol was about a lot more than the election. It is because the average American Christian is tired of leftist and socialist ways being shoved down our throat. I don't think this is over and I don't think it's going to be pretty either. I think a sleeping giant has been awoken

    It was a set up by the demonicRats. The DC police were also involved. They actually let Antifa in and there is video showing antifa arriving on busses and escorted by DC Police. Tragic!!! I love America and am very sad that Pence is part of the destruction of America. There will be no more fair elections. Our voices are silenced through fraudulent elections, social media and government decrees. America is gone. I am sick and this division came from demonicRats paid for by Soros, China, and anyone else willing to give money to slime infested congressmen and women. The swamp and evil seem to have prevailed. MAGA protestors were peaceful, but Antifa came in to disrupt and I am appalled that you and other Republicans can even fathom that MAGA Patriots would engage in lawlessness. This country is split, but it will get worse. Biden and the rest are non-stop blaming Trump, when all along Trump has been advocating peace, law and order but media and dems always twist what he says. I believe Trump has been wrongfully attacked by so called Republicans. I expect that from media, Rinos & demonicRats but not from other Patriots. I still support President Trump and pray God will protect him and his beautiful, freedom loving family.

    Don't take my post wrong, I think the world of you Gov. Mike but my family & I have had more than enough. We're done.
    I'm not a nut job anarchist. Just a 62 yr old family man presently unemployed due to Covid, nearing some sort of retirement, declining health, way too many things to fix on my house with no money and a wife and son who depend on me. I have spent a lifetime being one who desires to serve God above all else. Despite this I see our LIBERY & FREEDOM systematically taken by evil men & women who are described in Romans 1:18-32. I'm like many others who are well past fed up of rolling over and allowing the LEFT to continue their inexorable march to Tyranny over us? In Fact, I am overwhelmed with disgust & outrage of all that's transpired. In truth, this has been coming for the last 2 generations.
    1) I believe we'll learn the instigators were Leftist plants, likely BLM or Antifa. All the photos show repeat known offenders. Doubtless they'll see no justice, let alone minor inconveniences, in this lifetime. Just like Hillary, Comey, Weissmann, et al. BTW, how did these folks get such easy access? Did they have a key card to Nancy's office? Seems kind of odd?
    2) Trump stirred up nothing except he stood up to the LEFT and dared to fight back. But, violence from the LEFT is all good because it achieves the means and the right will continue to cave all the way to the Gulags.
    3) EVERYONE in DC and ALL of the Media has brought us to this point. A lot of talk, but nobody's words change anything, we still have been robbed. No more for me & my family, I'm turning all of you off. Y'all can keep talking but I'm no longer listening. It's just a waste of my time. I already know right from wrong. I loved your show, but I find no reason to keep watching. I have more productive pursuits & hobbies to spend my time on. The only conservatives left that seem instructive & unwilling to give up are Mark Levin and Rush. I fear we'll lose him soon and evil wins another round. The game is rigged and only God can stop it now.
    4) What is an average God fearing law abiding American to do? Words have failed, 100 years of giving in to the Left has failed, Laws have been intentionally violated, Leaders have oath wise & morally failed, our trusted Watchdogs have failed. It also appears that Praying has failed, God seems to have decided America needs to reap what she has sown? What has occurred is a well planned, Treasonous Political Coup that is so clever that it must be direct by Satan's own worshippers.
    5) While violence is tragic, at what point is it justified for Americans to physically take our country (by the appropriate means) back from the from these evil Baal Worshippers? Peaceful means & legal means haven't stopped the LEFT from killing 62 million of our Unborn, will we fight back when the close down our churches (they used COVID to that that) and haul Christians off to the gas chambers in a replay of the Holocaust?
    Exactly WHEN is it OK for the Army of God to rise up to defeat His enemies. How did the Patriots of the Revolutionary or the Civil War handle this? For that matter, how did the Hebrews / Israelites answer this? Asking for a friend, who is confused?
    6) What about God's promises? "He who blesses Israel, I will bless him; He who curses Israel, I will curse him." Trump has done the most for God's chosen people than any leader since Truman for sure. And yet, Trump has had nothing but grief for his actions and soon they will be set aside. In fact it seems us good folks are headed for enslavement. Does anyone believe Biden, his master Obama, or John Kerry, et al will be a friend of Israel?
    Where is God? Has he abandoned us to be mocked and provoked by these evil people?
    Right now me & my family remain faithful but it's obvious we have been betrayed & abandoned.
    God Bless you Gov. but this goodbye for now......
    allen & family

    Most public speakers, both left and right, have assumed that the intrusion into the Capitol was instigated by Trump supporters. There has been way too much sermonizing and finger pointing before the investigations even began to determine what really happened. Antifa was bussed in to break things, and a small number of actual Trump supporters were dumb enough to follow them inside. The main offense was trespassing, although it is a public building. The one victim of violence was a Trump supporter. These things, to me, are not horrific, or atrocities, as I have seen them referred to as. The people pulling strings behind the scenes got their wish-the presentation of evidence(FINALLY!) was cut short, and every wimpy RINO had an excuse to back down from objecting to the tainted results. The swamp won. = (

  • Kathleen McEvoy

    01/08/2021 04:40 PM

    Why are we assuming, as the media reports, that the ones who stormed the capital were Trump supporters? I have seen countless testimonies (before they were censored) by people who were there who claim the violent ones were Antifa. Bus loads were allowed in. Some were there and ready at the Capitol with gas masks while Trump was still speaking and before the crowds made their way down there. Facial identication showed some in the Capitol to be well know Antifa members. Some had swastika tattoos. A brilliant move by the left from the playbook of Nero, the Bolsheviks, and Nazis. Commit atrocious acts, then blame it on the group they want everyone to hate. Perhaps some were Trump supporters who just went too far, but let's not just assume that. Tens of thousands there were peaceful.

  • Rhonda Clark Hernandez

    01/08/2021 04:22 PM

    Dear Governor,
    Thank you for all you do and allowing us this format to express our views.
    As a Trump supporter, I have nothing but love in my heart for the President and all he has done for us and our country! He did not incite violence! He rallied his supporters as he has always done, but was let down by lapse Capitol Security and spineless Republicans!
    It seems, some Republicans are seeing this election as the failure of the President, when it is actually their failure as a party! Being from Texas, I commend Ted Cruz for his courage and will continue to support him! I will not be supporting John Cornyn, Lyndsey Graham or Mitch McConnell, and they will never again get one dime from me! I love Trump supporters for their heart, passion, love of God, family, and Country! We are one! Please do not loose heart! We are all hurting but we must continue the fight! We have to elect Representatives who have the courage to fight for us, and for fair and lawful elections under the constitution! We are 74 million strong and our voices will be heard! I have contacted all of my Representatives and will continue to do so, and I urge all of you to do the same. Trump 2024!

    I am so very saddened by our divided nation as we have not been “under God” by the majority in years. Ever since I was able to vote over 50 years ago, I prayed for a non politician to run our Country. While President Trump was often “unpolished” in areas of addressing and addressing the media, I feel he has been the very best President ever in my lifetime. He had to run through so very much opposition by the Dems all four plus years. Just think what he could have accomplished without daily hindrances. And now the Dems are still trying to thwart any attempts for future political endeavors. The main day and night time talk shows are still slandering President Trump and I may just cancel my cable as I cannot handle the coverage they still are spitting out.
    President Donald J. Trump has sacrificed so much personal time, family time and all his money.
    I can only pray that what has transpired this week and will in the coming four years will be in Gods Will for His purposes to bring this Nation back to Him.
    Thank you Mr Huckabee, your staff and family for your forthright and honest media coverage.

    Much sadness and prayers for families who died during the D.C. chaos!! I still have many questions about why as some states like Arizona and Pennsylvania asked that their votes be reviewed and/or not accepted why the congressional group could not remove those? I also have issues with many saying Antifa Groups were at the DC area event and some showed videos of some in all black (not Trump red) being escorted from buses to the area by state patrols? What about that? Also, with ALL going on in Italy from Germany and maybe China and the Italian government charging some of their own for their dealings with Leonardo satellite systems and Dominion, WHY would our government be more into finding out what they have or have not done in using the systems in our election? They are talking about a breach to the systems relating to world nuclear issues and governments breaches -not just ours! Is that not something to be concerned about and not just possible Russian interference? It is all over the news outside of USA and, for sure, Italy! NO one is even paying attention to that even though is is a member of NATO country saying they had people breaching our systems? Please explain why you or anyone else is clarifying those charges by Italian government to those two (maybe three) people!

    Please look at all the evidence and see that while a few Trump supporters may have been involved this was all antifa! Check out the Victory channel news (conservative Christian) and Flashpoint show. Very convincing video, this was a complete set up and the intended consequences happened just as they planned. Please Mike put a link up to this page so more people can see the evidence and decide for themselves. The word has got to get out that theres more to this than meets the eye. The MSM sure wont put it out. Just for the record after power mad Zuckerberg cancelled the Potus I deleted my FB page. Done with him. As more people should be. Wimkin works just great.

    I am saddened about the way the democrats have treated President Trump from the first time he was elected and through out his 4 years. The democrats are responsible for all the riots from antifa in the democrat ran cities. There is a video showing that the DC police actually removed the barricades to let these thugs in. antifa has been infiltrating peaceful protests and destroying cities and yet even after being labeled as terrorists they are still allowed to do these heinous acts without being accountable. I remember when terrorists actually got taken out by gunfire but nowadays the police stay idle by and let them do whatever.Follow the money trail and I bet you that they are funded by the DNC and Soros!! I am 61 years old and the past 30 years I have been noticing our great country has been overtaken from within and I am talking about our house and senate being corrupt. Time for term limits but we know that the house would never give themselves a term limit. Our forefathers did not think to give our congress term limits,how sad!

    I disagree that we have to vote. Not voting is still a choice and its the only one the cheaters have left us with! I do not accept Biden as the fairly elected president. Why would we as citizens vote in any election where the outcome is already decided before we vote. I'm disgusted by the pathetic attempt by anyone to root out the fraud. I don't care who won just save the republic but now the Republic is dead and the sooner we get used to that fact and learn to live in the Leftist idea of "Utopia" the sooner we will be out of denial. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord Jesus Christ.

    I wish people would stop saying "Trump Supporters". I'm sure there were supporters of President Trump in the crowd but many of the videos show Antifa and BLM members trying to break windows and instigating a riot. I'm sorry that some of the normally peaceful attendees got sucked into their rhetoric but if members of Antifa hadn't been there I don't believe any of this would've happened.

  • Jeff McClure

    01/08/2021 03:11 PM

    Governor, I'm still perplexed, my question is simple, did president Trump constitutionally have any chance at the election being overturned on January 6? Being well aware of the president believing for vice president Pence to do the right thing, constitutionally was there actually a path? Who were the people that led many patriotic Americans to believe there was? I would like to see them called out on this, to blame President Trump and let these people off the hook is ridiculous!
    Thanks for the newsletters, I enjoy reading them.
