In the Univision town hall forum a few weeks ago, Donald Trump was asked by a Latino Republican about his support for the January 6, 2021 protest-turned-insurrection. In his response, Trump said it was a day of love, and that there were many patriotic Americans involved. The reality is that thousands of Trump supporters criminally
