The View is giving Donald Trump a history lesson after the former POTUS claimed he oversaw a “peaceful transfer of power” after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden. Of course, Jan. 6 wasn’t exactly a conflict-free day, and Whoopi Goldberg seized the opportunity to fact-check Trump at the Hot Topics table this morning.

Trump didn’t directly answer questions yesterday (Oct. 15) at an economic forum in Chicago about whether he would accept the results of the 2024 election if he loses. Instead, he referred to Jan. 6 as “a peaceful transfer of power.”

“There was love and peace,” Trump said in a clip from the event shared on The View this morning. “Nobody was killed, expect for Ashli Babbitt, she was killed. She was shot in the head by a policeman. What he did was horrible.”

After the clip ended, Goldberg said, “Just a reminder, 140 police officers were assaulted, five people died, several were charged with carrying guns and other weapons, and more than 1,200 people stormed the Capitol. For one reason: To stop the peaceful transfer of power. That was the decision they made.

“[Trump] said, ‘Go on, I’ll march with you,’ then he left and let everybody clean up his mess and you saw it,” she continued. “We all watched it.”

Alyssa Farah Griffin also decried Trump’s rewriting of history, pointing out that some in the crowd at the economic forum event were “applauding” when he made claims of the peaceful transfer of power.

“There has been a total rewriting and white-washing of Jan. 6,” Griffin said. “I remember the days afterward, Kevin McCarthy, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell [all said], ‘I’m done with him, we’re through with this guy, he should be impeached, we should invoke the 25th amendment.'”

She added, “They all knew what they saw and they completely changed their tune when Donald Trump showed that he’s still got some power and he’s still got some support, because it was more politically advantageous to them.”
