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.

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.

You are confused who will be spewing on the 6th coming. It's the psychopath DJT himself.

If the insurrection is not fully exposed and aggressively punished, we're just asking for more.

Which, more than likely, are already being planned by many of the same people.

The BIGGIEST lies are by the left. One, that the riot was insurrection. Two, that planning the vote against certification was treason. Three, that voting to not certify was illegal and a coup attempt.

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 select committee is going to present some damning evidence and when it becomes apparent on who is who and who did what, the naysayers will still deny it all.

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.

Conservatives are infamous for their dishonesty and lies.

We see proof of their lies on this very forum daily, with recent threads started by conservatives propagating the lie that domestic terrorist Ashli Babbitt was ‘murdered’ and the lie that the 1/6 rightwing terrorists being lawfully detained are ‘political prisoners.’

The FBI coaxed people into the capitol building...we have seen the video....this was a false flag brought to us by the queen of false flags....Nancy Pelosi...and then she used it to impeach a president...and that's treason....

The only thing we are in for is another fraudulent election. And yes it is being planned by the same people. The same people that lied for years and continue to.

The biggest lie is that it was even an insurrection.

In realityland: the FBI instigated much of it; Capital police let the protestors through the barricades and into the Capitol building; the protestors were not armed; the only person killed was an unarmed woman and the cop who murdered here was given a get out of jail free card; Pelosi turned down Trump's offer to have National Guard Troops guard the Capitol, Capitol Cops beat the snot out of unarmed people in the tunnel; and the Star Chamber Commssion is trying to squash the truth from coming out.
