Republicans try to reframe January 6 as a sightseeing tour – will it work?

It will work with the incredibly stupid which means most of the Trump Derps here.


Let me prove to you how stupid Trump Derps are. Trump and MTG and Tucker still argue at times that the Jan 6th rioters were ANTIFA while also arguing they are 'Patriots who are unduly held'.

By MTG own recent words she is going to the prisons to decry the bad treatment of Antifa members held in jail.

A Trump Derp is so stupid they cannot reconcile that as inconsistent.

Liberal journalist Naomi Wolf issued a lengthy apology to conservatives and MAGA Republicans after watching Carlson’s aired riot footage.

There is no way to avoid this moment. The formal letter of apology. From me. To Conservatives and to those who “put America first” everywhere.

It’s tempting to sweep this confrontation with my own gullibility under the rug — to “move on” without ever acknowledging that I was duped, and that as a result I made mistakes in judgement, and that these mistakes, multiplied by the tens of thousands and millions on the part of people just like me, hurt millions of other people like you all, in existential ways.

The Insane Conspiracy Theories of Naomi Wolf

ISIS beheadings were staged by the US
US wants to bring Ebola back to the US to justify a military takeover of American society.
Scottish referendum for remaining in the UK was faked
The U.S. government and big American banks are conspiring to impose a 'totally integrated corporate-state repression of dissent'."Attacks on the Occupy movement were a coordinated plot, orchestrated by federal law enforcement agencies.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Wolf has frequently promoted COVID-19 misinformation, misinformation related to vaccination and 5G conspiracy theories

Exactly.

FWIW, I can't see how Tucker expects to survive with any integrity. He's a joke that even Fox admits they do not take seriously. Regardless, I see a lawsuit in his future and Fox won't protect him.

"Editors can do amazing things. Editors can turn 40,000 hours worth of violent insurrection footage into a respectful sightseeing tour of the Capitol."

I expect our next president to pardon them all......it is time to put your stupidity behind us and move on......

Not if that next President is Trump.

I mean, you know he could have pardoned them before leaving office, right? You know many asked him, he considered, and then choose not to, right?

You know why right? Because once pardoned they can be compelled to testify and 'rat' on Trump and the organizers. Once pardoned they are free from any jail risk as long as they do not lie when compelled to testify, so the motivation to tell the truth is very high. And Trump knew that. He knows all those around would likely take the 5th, if they faced trial, so he was better to sacrifice them to charges, then to pardon them.


And i doubt DeSantis or anyone else, if Trump is driven from the party and loses the Nomination is going to carry on Trump's old battles. They will want to move as quickly away from that crap as possible and establish themselves as their own person.

did someone think they were going to be arrested for peaceful protesting before he left office?......

yes, the same ones you think the next POTUS should pardon, thought they would be going to jail for what they did Jan6th.

Trump gave dozens of last minute pardons on his last day. Bannon, Little Wayne, Jeanine Pirro's ex hubby and other priorities all got pardons but not the poor victimized Jan 6th rioters, .. or are they Antifa???? You guys need to keep that straight as it is embarrassing for Marjorie Greene, in one breath, to suggest they were antifa and then in the next go visit and sit with them in jail, while calling them Antifa.

“Everybody knows that McCarthy, who was once very upset about what happened on January 6 and said so, is just using this for his own purposes. This was simply an action designed to get him the final few votes needed to become speaker. He sold out his country. It was absolutely spineless,” Sabato said.

“Carlson and McCarthy have given the crazies, the far-right extremists, the neo-Nazi white supremacists who are obsessed with January 6, the counter reality they’ve been looking for of a bunch of patriots taking a tour in the Capitol.”

For most of those there, that's all it was. It was only a handful that were violent. Mostly peaceful protest.

I know you are completely ignorant. So lets start off simple. Not one single person was legally permitted in the people--the building was closed to all but Congress and staff.

Why not? Americans watched the 2020 BLM race riots burn down entire sections of cities and Democrats wanted us to deny the evidence of our own eyes and accept their 'mostly peaceful protest' and 'fiery but mostly peaceful" bullfuckingshit. So why not?

especially now that we've learned all the evidence was made up, I think everyone is surprised the protestors went to jail......
