https://www.cbsnews.com/news/white-house-webpage-january-6-attack/ A new webpage under the official
whitehouse.gov domain, rolled out five years after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, rewrites the history of the attack on the Capitol that took place as Congress was affirming Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election.
The website expresses views long promoted by President Trump that the Jan. 6 attack was a "peaceful march," blames Capitol Police for "escalating tensions," and repeats Mr. Trump's false claim that the 2020 election was stolen.
"The Democrats masterfully reversed reality after January 6, branding peaceful patriotic protesters as 'insurrectionists' and framing the event as a violent coup attempt orchestrated by Trump—despite no evidence of armed rebellion or intent to overthrow the government," the new webpage says.
White House spokesperson Steven Cheung posted a link to it on social media and wrote "Want to know the TRUTH? Get all the facts here." The White House's official X account also posted a link to it, writing "Now see the REAL Jan. 6 story."
Thousands of Trump supporters descended on the Capitol that day and breached the building after smashing through windows on the first floor. They vandalized the Capitol, forced the evacuation of lawmakers and their staff and assaulted police officers on site with flagpoles, bear spray and other objects. More than 150 officers were injured. Five police officers who served at the Capitol died in the days and weeks afterward.

The webpage also claims former Vice President Mike Pence could have rejected the electoral votes but chose "not to exercise that power in an act of cowardice and sabotage," even though the vice president's role in certifying Biden's victory was ceremonial. Pence's former chief of staff, Marc Short, appeared to take issue with the White House characterization, re-posting it on X with the comment, "And I guess yall would have been okay if Kamala had refused to certify the 2024 results?"

Honestly it was terrifying, go watch Jan 6th footage and count how many confederate flags you see. It was such a shocking un-American insurrection. Especially when the machine gun mounted sandbag walls started to form and block major roadways and the Muslim communities formed their own groups to shoot the Serbians that tried to cross their neighborhood to get to the adjoining Serb town. And then it turned into a 3 way genocide and-

>>1472766 >Mitch McConnell has repeatedly called the January 6th Capitol attack a " violent insurrection" aimed at disrupting the peaceful transfer of power, stating that then-President Trump was "practically and morally responsible" for provoking it with false election claims, and rebuked the RNC for downplaying the event as "legitimate political discourse" while criticizing those investigating it. He condemned the rioters' use of "fear and violence" to stop government proceedings.
Is Mitch McConnell a democrat?

Jan 6th is a joke, even libs stopped crying about it and just use it as a "This you, gotcha!" argument. The only ones who still cry about it are politicians no one likes except liberal wine drinkers, and journos who are eternally seething that their efforts to hype it up as this generation's 9/11 failed.

You and your ilk are impossible to take seriously on anything because you're purely just violent hypocrites.

>>1472847 Except the point of the ACAB slogan is that even cops that don't directly participate in corrupt activities and abuses of power defend and cover for the ones that do and participate in propping up the institutional structures that let them get away with shit.
The Capitol Police are not part of the shared power structure of any other police department, being appointed and overseen by the US legislature and their duties do not tend to involve the regular abuses seen from other police departments.
Slogans are supposed to be simplified shorthand for messages, not the message themselves. If you don't understand that, you're no better than a parrot.
Might as well argue "defund the police" was just about cutting government budgets and not about redirecting resources to programs to help prevent the need for police and shield people from contact with police.
