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

Why can't you NaziCons offer any "credible" proof that the election was "stolen"?
Oh, and there's at least 100X more evidence to show that the '20 election was rigged than you fascist assholes ever had to show that RUSSIA! had anything to do with '16, yet that didn't stop you crackpots from screeching about it for over three years.

So take your sanctimony and stuff it up your fucking lying Nazi ass.
 
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.

We all know what really happened on January 6 - so why do some people keep lying about it and spreading false conspiracy theories?
The committee and the DOJ will straighten it up. Lies never hold up in court.

Biggest lie is calling it an insurrection
 
Oh, and there's at least 100X more evidence to show that the '20 election was rigged than you fascist assholes ever had to show that RUSSIA! had anything to do with '16, yet that didn't stop you crackpots from screeching about it for over three years.

So take your sanctimony and stuff it up your fucking lying Nazi ass.
There is 000X evidence, and you are going to show none. You are a political forum known liar.
 
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.
They are weak, small minded, dishonest, traitors, liars, etc. When characters such as these lose power, they know they are boxed in. They want the power and control. It's the reason they introduced 400 voter suppression bills to destroy America as we know it. For what? Power and control of course. They want it at all costs. Even when we expose them for who they are. These people who have pretended to be Americans, were never Americans to begin with.

Ask not what you can do for your country, but what your country can do for you. That's what they are after. They want a society of drones to rule over serving them.
 
There you have it, right from the "Wall Street Journal." America's #1 conservative news source.
......and owned by Rupert Murdoch. Of Fox News fame.

Actually, as far as news and reportage goes....they are pretty darn good.
There editorial pitch though is pretty darn Rightfield.
