"No question" Trump supported insurrection in light of Colorado ruling – Biden

President Biden said there’s "no question" former President Trump supported an insurrection after a Colorado court ruled to remove Trump from the state’s ballot over his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, writes The Hill.

Biden, in comments to reporters upon landing in Milwaukee, declined to weigh in on the court’s decision or whether Trump should be removed from the ballot. But he said it was “self-evident” Trump supported an insurrection.

“Whether the 14th Amendment applies or not, we’ll let the court make that decision. But he certainly supported an insurrection. There’s no question about it. None. Zero. And he seems to be doubling down on it”, - Biden said

In a Tuesday ruling, the Colorado Supreme Court in a 4-3 ruling affirmed Trump engaged in insurrection by inflaming his supporters with false claims of election fraud and directing them to the Capitol - preventing him from a second White House term under the 14th Amendment’s "insurrection clause."
