“Editors and reporters at the staunchly pro-Trump conservative outlet Breitbart News privately clashed over whether President Donald Trump was to blame for last week’s deadly Capitol riot, according to internal messages reviewed by The Daily Beast. ‘I am just not feeling charitable AT ALL,’ international news editor Frances Martel posted to Slack the morning after the rioting that left five people dead, including a police officer. ‘Destroy Trump.’ Martel lamented that Trump’s support for the MAGA mob had undone a decade’s worth of conservative politics, leaving the Republican Party ‘in shambles’ and dimming the right-wing movement’s prospects. ‘He set us back like 10 years,’ Martel wrote. ‘We have worked so hard to promote our values, values that made him president when he hawked them, and now he does this, leaving everything in shambles? Nah, destroy him. Let it be a lesson to every other populist.'”

“”Breitbart, like other outlets closely tied to Trump, has shied away from ever directly criticizing him, especially for his election-fraud lies and heated rhetoric leading up to the deadly riot. But the internal chat messages demonstrate that anger over the outgoing president’s role in inciting the MAGA mob has reached even the Trumpiest strongholds of right-wing media. ‘I do blame Trump for all of this,’ wrote senior editor-at-large Rebecca Mansour at one point, before referring to rioter Ashli Babbitt, a QAnon supporter who was fatally shot by Capitol police as she attempted to break into the Speaker’s Lobby. ‘Her death is on him as far I’m concerned'” – Daily Beast.
