In the days following the storming of the Capitol on January 6, there were a lot of reports about what was going on behind the scenes in the Trump administration. One report in particular from The New York Times quoted Trump as saying in a call early on January 6, “You can either go down in history as a patriot, or you can go down in history as a pussy.”
“There was a report, excuse my language…” Karl asked Trump in March. “…that you talked to him that morning and you said, ‘You can be a patriot or you can be a pussy.’ Did you really say that or is that an incorrect…”
“I wouldn’t dispute it,” Trump said.
