Roberto Izurieta, a political contributor to Trends Wide and a professor at George Washington University, said he was terrified by the “hateful messages” from former President Donald Trump and some of his supporters surrounding the January 6, 2021, assault. I laugh when someone threatens someone with violence (…) I do not laugh if there is a person with the intention of attacking and killing,” Izurieta said, and blamed the former president for “instigating” and “calling for a fight” in The capitol.
