During a town hall for Univision on Wednesday, former President Donald Trump described Jan. 6, 2021, as “a day of love” as he made a number of false claims about the storming of the U.S. Capitol by his supporters and denied having instigated the riot.

“That was a day of love from the standpoint of the millions, it's like hundreds of thousands — it could have been the largest group I've ever spoken before,” he told Latino voters in Miami.

Trump, the Republican nominee in next month’s presidential election, was answering a question from a onetime registered Republican who said he wanted to give the former president “the opportunity to try to win back my vote.”

The undecided voter said he found it a “little disturbing” that Trump waited hours before urging his supporters to leave the Capitol on Jan. 6 and that some members of his administration are now warning against Trump returning to the White House.

On Jan. 6, a pro-Trump mob clashed with police officers outside the Capitol before forcing their way into the building as Congress met to certify Joe Biden’s victory over Trump in the 2020 presidential election. More than 100 police officers were injured, five people died at the Capitol, and lawmakers were rushed to secure locations.

More than 1,500 people have been charged with crimes in connection with Jan. 6. Over 1,000 have pleaded guilty or been tried and convicted. Trump has vowed to pardon the Jan. 6 rioters if he’s elected.

Moments before the attack on the Capitol, Trump held a nearby rally, where he repeated false claims about election fraud and urged his supporters to march to the Capitol.

Trump argued during the town hall that only a small portion of his supporters participated in the unrest. 

In doing so, he embellished the overall size of his rally crowd, saying “hundreds of thousands” of people attended. Other estimates put the number far lower, including The New York Times, which reported “tens of thousands” attended the rally, and the now-defunct House Jan. 6 committee, which said the audience was around 53,000.

Trump also downplayed his role in practically every aspect of Jan. 6.

He appeared to suggest his supporters converged on Washington that day on their own, saying, “They didn't come because of me; they came because of the election.” His supporters “thought the election was rigged,” Trump said.

He said, “They asked me to speak, and I went and I spoke.” 

In truth, Trump scheduled the rally at the Ellipse, near the White House, and sent out a Dec. 19, 2020, tweet urging his followers to attend, writing, “Be there, will be wild!"

He and his allies for weeks had been pushing the baseless claims of election fraud on social media, in conservative media and to Republican-led state legislatures.

Trump faces federal criminal charges in Washington, D.C., and state charges in Georgia related to his efforts to overturn the election results. He has pleaded not guilty in both cases and denied wrongdoing.

The former president accurately noted during the town hall that he told rallygoers in one instance to march to the Capitol “peacefully and patriotically.” But he also made numerous statements that could be viewed as incendiary, including, “If you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore” and: “You'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength.”

The campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump’s opponent next month, said in a statement that Jan. 6 was not a day of love, but rather “a dangerous attack on our democracy that Donald Trump incited.”

Ramiro Gonzalez, the voter who asked the question, told Univision after the town hall he did not get the answer he was hoping for and that he will not be voting for Trump.

"I saw what happened [on Jan. 6]," he said in Spanish. "I was watching TV, and I've seen a lot of news clips, and I know what happened that day.”

Trump also dismissed concerns about the former members of his administration who have spoken out against him this election cycle as “a very small portion.”

“We have a tremendous — about 97% of the people in the administration support me,” he said. “But because it's me, somebody doesn't support, they get a little publicity.”

More than a dozen high-level members of Trump’s administration have voiced concerns about him returning to the White House, including former Vice President Mike Pence, onetime national security adviser John Bolton, ex-Defense Secretary Mark Esper and former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly. 

Trump and Pence had a falling out after Pence refused to follow Trump’s demand of blocking certification of Biden’s win on Jan. 6. 

Also at the town hall, Trump continued to entertain debunked claims about Haitian migrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio. He said he had only repeated reports he had seen, that the reports said the migrants have been “eating other things, too” and that he will “take a look” and “give you a full report” after he visits Springfield.

The former president, meanwhile, did not mention his plan for mass deportations if elected.
