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?

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.
