Some Of The Biggest Lies Being Spread About The Jan. 6 Insurrection

[Lakhota]

The events from last Jan. 6 in Washington unfolded on live television but they've since been up for debate.

Millions of Americans watched the events in Washington last Jan. 6 unfold on live television. Police officers testified to the violence and mayhem. Criminal proceedings in open court detailed what happened.

Yet the hoaxes, conspiracy theories and attempts to rewrite history persist, muddying the public’s understanding of what actually occurred during the most sustained attack on the seat of American democracy since the War of 1812.

By excusing former President Donald Trump of responsibility, minimizing the mob’s violence and casting the rioters as martyrs, falsehoods about the insurrection aim to deflect blame for Jan. 6 while sustaining Trump’s unfounded claims about the free and fair election in 2020 that he lost.

Spread by politicians, broadcast by cable news pundits and amplified by social media, the falsehoods are a stark reminder of how many Americans may no longer trust their own institutions or their own eyes.

Several different conspiracy theories have emerged in the year since the insurrection, according to an analysis of online content by media intelligence firm Zignal Labs on behalf of The Associated Press. Unfounded claims that the rioters were members of antifa went viral first, only to be overtaken by a baseless claim blaming FBI operatives. Other theories say the rioters were peaceful and were framed for crimes that never happened.

Claim: The Rioters Weren’t Trump Supporters​

In fact, many of those who came to the Capitol on Jan. 6 have said — proudly, publicly, repeatedly — that they did so to help the then-president.

Claim: The Rioters Weren’t Violent​

Dozens of police officers were severely injured. One Capitol Police officer who was attacked and assaulted with bear spray suffered a stroke and died a day later of natural causes.

Claim: Trump Did Not Encourage The Rioters​

Trump may now want to minimize his involvement, but he spent months sounding a steadydrumbeat of conspiracy theory and grievance, urging his followers to fight to somehow return him to power.

Claim: Ashli Babbitt Was Killed By An Officer Working For Democrats​

Babbitt died after being shot in the shoulder by a lieutenant in the Capitol Police force as she and others pressed to enter the Speaker’s Lobby outside the House chamber.
Trump falsely claimed the officer was the head of security “for a certain high official, a Democrat,” and was being shielded from accountability. He also misstated where Babbitt was shot.

Claim: The Jan. 6 Suspects Are Political Prisoners And Are Being Mistreated​

No, they are not, despite some assertions from members of Congress.

While it’s true some of the suspects have complained about their time in jail, it’s wrong to argue they’re being held as political prisoners. Authorities have said the suspects in custody are being given the same access to food and medical care as any other inmate.

One of the most notorious rioters, Jacob Chansley, known as the QAnon Shaman, was given organic food in his jail cell after he complained about the food options.

The "riot" didn't unfold on television.
None of the riots were on television.
All we saw on television was peaceful Trump supporters walking thru a roped off area of the Capital.
All of the violence was recorded and released later.

The only two people that died at the "riot" was two unarmed women.
One of them shot in the throat by a cop and the other beaten to death by cops.

 

[Whodatsaywhodat.]

Excellent documentary with lots of interviews with trump supporters.

You fools are a hoot ... biggest lie about jan.6th insurrection is that it was not an insurrection... anyone charged for insurrection? Anyone convicted? Just because you princesses keep repeating said lie doesn't make it true. What's next ? You know where Bigfoot is ? So stupid to call a field trip a insurrection, but that's the left for ya ...

Thank you, poster Lakhota.
This topic is of immense importance to the America we want to go forward with.

Sure, I understand the motivation of MAGAHats of all levels to wish to bury, to obfuscate, to minimize, to deflect, on what actually happened on January 6th.

And I honestly believe that there are any number of Congressional Representatives who want to bury it for reasons other than mere GOP partisanship. I believe, truly, that some number of them were personally involved in the machinations to prevent the vote from being properly ascribed.

As far as the "retail'-guys. The small fries. The knuckleheads who broke windows, sprayed MACE, and clubbed a cop....well, get 'em all. They weren't looting one of Nike's 220 retail stores, they were violently looting the Capitol of the United States of America, the people's 'house', and the seat of our Democracy.

• 727 people have been charged in the Capitol insurrection so far. This searchable table shows them all.
• Sedition Hunters

So, nail the 'retail guys' to the wall .....given the ginormous data-field of pics and their social media admissions. And, if the GOP or Trump funds-compilers wish to help out those charged or jailed mokes with bail or attorney's fees.......well, fine. Put your money where your mouth is. That is what contributions are for. If you believe in what the rioters did....then contribute, be you some moke running a muffler shop, or Don Trump, or Rona McDaniels or Steve Bannon.

 

[1srelluc]

Aren't the dems going to have some kind of soirée on 1/6, complete with their own Praetorian Guard?

If there was any real justice they should all be rounded-up, charged with treason, and marched into the DC Gitmo and locked away instead.....No bail.

 

[22lcidw]

Conservatives will continue to propagate these lies regardless.

The Capitol Building would be in ruins if it was....The Insurrection! You guys are scared. Oa a protest that went beyond the scope. Just like the thousands of peaceful protests in blues cities that was just lovable. Antifa declared and area a new nation. Which Deplorables will need to remember for future reference as the local government supported it. No feds showed up.

Amen! The truth is too painful for them to admit. It's a psychological thingy...

Why do conservatives keep lying about it and spreading false conspiracy theories.

Because it’s part of the right’s campaign to use misinformation, conspiracy theories, and lies to foment mistrust in the political process and undermine our democratic institutions perceived to be beneficial to Republicans.

Citizens abandoning political participation will facilitate and maintain the tyranny of Republican minority rule.

Why aren't either one of those criminals in custody and had all their electronics confiscated?
