Subject: GOP must whitewash January 6
And, boy, they are already trying hard. For example, just look at what LM posts. She is following the ludicrous party line that January 6th was some kind of peaceable assembly. WHAT! The video evidence is conclusive. How gullible do you have to be to swallow the lies?

Or the ridiculous and easily debunked conspiracy theory that it was a bunch of deep state actors. SO STUPID!

With Trump moving closer to renomination, rewriting Jan. 6 attack gains urgency

There is no mystery about the Capitol riot. There is nothing intangible, no unseen engine for what occurred. There is no uncertainty about what happened and why.

But because everything about what unfolded on Jan. 6, 2021, implicates the cultural leader of the Republican Party — and because pretending that a mystery exists benefits him — we approach the third anniversary of that day with renewed efforts to rewrite its history.

A few hours after a heated Oval Office argument in which his team tried to figure out how to retain power, he shared a post on social media calling for supporters to come to Washington on Jan. 6. The day’s protest, he promised, would “be wild.” This message itself comes up repeatedly when looking at the triggers for participants to be at the Capitol on that day.
...
There was violence and there were violent actors; they were there because Trump refused to accept that voters had rejected him.
