    The Cult will pitch a hissy at your source, which took its article from one in the New York Times. Please allow me to quote from the original and provide that link. Not, of course, that that will filter through the bricks in the Cult's heads.

    "In the hours and days after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, rattled Republican lawmakers knew exactly who was to blame: Donald J. Trump. Loyal allies began turning on him. Top Republicans vowed to make a full break from his divisive tactics and dishonesties. Some even discussed removing him from office.

    "By spring, however, after nearly 200 congressional Republicans had voted to clear Mr. Trump during a second impeachment proceeding, the conservative fringes of the party had already begun to rewrite history, describing the Capitol riot as a peaceful protest and comparing the invading mob to a “normal tourist visit,” as one congressman put it.

    "This past week, amid the emotional testimony of police officers at the first hearing of a House select committee, Republicans completed their journey through the looking-glass, spinning a new counternarrative of that deadly day. No longer content to absolve Mr. Trump, they concocted a version of events in which those accused of rioting were patriotic political prisoners and Speaker Nancy Pelosi was to blame for the violence."

    Thanks. The wrinkle that caught my attention in the "rawstory.com" though is the remark by GOP Senator Cornyn throwing cold water on the whitewash.


    "I don't think anybody's going to be successful erasing what happened," said Cornyn. "Everybody saw it with their own eyes and the nation saw it on television."

    That's a direct quote from the NYT article. Good for him. Too bad he's in a very small minority. WTF is wrong with those ppl? Do they really think that we're going to believe "peaceful tour group" bullshit when we saw with our own eyes what happened, in real time?

    yet you didn't address the statement about Not one single person has been charged with insurrection. Keep deflecting from the statement.

    And the reruns are coming.
    Never mind the reruns I want to see exactly what the federal informants were up to on the video they’ve been hiding. And I want to see any and all communications they might have had with members of Congress and the agency itself.

    The Great Insurrection is their talking point lol.

    Bad as Pearl Harbor. Worse than 9/11. Yada yada. Consider this: democrats haven’t gone a single day or news cycle in the last five years without a Big Something to harp on and many voters are beyond jaded by it.

    So far, at least 599 people have been charged in relation to the Capitol riot.

    599 people have been charged in the Capitol insurrection so far. This searchable table shows them all.

    Have to say I like the suggestion that those Trump loyalists in battle dress clobbering the police and busting things as they stormed the Capitol in their ludicrous attempt to reverse the election were just weak minded clones put up to it by "federal informants".

    That they were charged at all shows it wasn't a peaceful demonstration or a tourist stop.
