What Really Happened January 6

To the Biden-Pelosi Democrats and their Fake News enablers, questioning the 2020 elections must be equated with treason, sedition, insurrection, domestic terrorism, and white supremacy. ...

On January 6, 2021, President Donald Trump held a Stop the Steal rally on the Ellipse near the White House, as Congress gathered at the Capitol to count the electoral votes and officially announce the winner of the November 2020 presidential election. In his speech, the president told his supporters, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

While President Trump was still speaking, a couple thousand of the rallygoers had already broken away from the event and had gone to the Capitol. A raucous mob of a few hundred of these rally participants, breaking through barricades and police lines, stormed into the Capitol. These hooligans, who battled with police, vandalized government property, and interrupted the electoral proceedings, were definitely not behaving “peacefully and patriotically,” as President Trump had directed.

Was this a case of President Trump saying one thing publicly to the main rally, while having secretly given directions to others to engage in violence? That is the conspiracy theory being advanced by the Democrats and their media choir. That is the conspiracy theory being “investigated” by the virulently anti-Trump House January 6 Committee set up by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (see the article on page 23). And these conspiracy theorists, we might point out, have amassed about as much evidence to support this conspiracy theory as they did for their conspiracy theory of “Trump-Russia collusion” — which, if you recall, was zero, nada, zilch.
