In the weeks ahead of the deadly failed insurrection against the United States Capitol on January 6, former President Donald Trump repeatedly urged his followers to "fight like hell" in defense of his lies about the validity of the 2020 election.

Even up to the start of the riots, he urged his supporters to march on the Capitol to upend a joint congressional session nationally certifying then-President-elect Joe Biden's victory.


With then-President Trump's endorsement, many of his most devout supporters were convinced they were doing the right thing. They proudly livestreamed their destruction and assured they were "invited" by the President of the United States when they were stopped by security.

Hundreds of Capitol rioters were subsequently arrested, with some begging then-President Trump for a pardon and insisted he had motivated their actions.

Predictably, Trump didn't pardon a single rioter.

Now, a mother of one of the rioters is lamenting her son's devotion to Trump's conspiracy theories, and tearfully noting that Trump doesn't care at all about the ideologically vulnerable supporters who threatened democracy on his behalf.

Watch below.

JoAnn Rowe, mother of Capitol rioter Donovan Crowl, told CNN of her son:

"I love the person he used to be but I despise the person that he is now. He's not my son, and I still have a hard time believing that if he did what he did, if he gets 20 years in prison, he'll be 70 years old before he gets out of there. Trump doesn't care about any of those people that stormed the Capitol for him. He doesn't care one iota about them."

Donovan Crowl—who is awaiting trial on charges for conspiracy, destruction of government property, obstruction of an official proceeding and violent entry or disorderly conduct—told CNN that he felt good about his case, before saying he didn't watch their "garbage" and slamming the door.

People echoed his mother's claims that Trump doesn't care about the supporters who rioted on his behalf.





Few people felt sympathy at her dilemma.




Donovan Crowl, a 50 year old man, says his actions at the Capitol were due to falling in with the "wrong crowd."

'Based On A True Story' Movies That Aren't True At All

The entertainment industry has long been criticized for their creative license when it comes to retelling history or anything "based on a true story."

Going back to the silent film era and D.W. Griffith's ridiculously inaccurate White supremacist propaganda Birth Of A Nation to Mel Gibson's Braveheart to Disney's Pocahontas, some films go way beyond creative license and careen into total malarkey.

Musk's AI Chatbot Throws Republicans Under The Bus After Being Asked About Economy

Grok, billionaire Elon Musk's very own chatbot, threw Republicans under the bus after software engineer Alex Coke asked it if Democrats or Republicans have been better for the economy in the past 30 years, only for it to answer that yes, in fact, Democrats are the winners when it comes to economic policy.

Economic policy is certainly on everyone's minds these days. A new CNN poll conducted by SSRS shows that Americans are not pleased with President Donald Trump’s management of the economy, leaving him with unfavorable ratings on what is considered the nation’s most important issue.

CNN Airs Brutal Reminder Of Trump's Previous Economic Predictions—And They Did Not Age Well

CNN came with the receipts, airing a supercut of clips from 2020 and 2024 of President Donald Trump making hilariously wrong economic predictions—a damning reel of evidence as financial markets decline and investor concerns grow over Trump’s trade policies.

In fact, Trump’s escalating trade war pushed the S&P 500 more than 10% below its record high set just last month. A drop of this size is significant enough that professional investors call it a “correction,” and the S&P 500’s 1.4% decline on Thursday marked its first since 2023.
