Former Alabama Sen. Doug Jones (D) said that the new film “War Game” shows “how close” the U.S. came to losing democracy on Jan. 6, 2021.
During his appearance on CNN Saturday, the former lawmaker was asked by anchor Jim Acosta to share his thoughts about the new movie which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this week.
Jones, who was acting as the attorney general in the movie, said that the film is a reminder for the public about the possible outcomes of the attack on the Capitol.
“I think that these kinds of films are very, very important for the public to see, to be reminded of how closely we came on January 6, 2021, of losing our government, of losing our democracy,” Jones said.
The former senator also warned about “forces” in the country who are currently plotting how to execute a similar attack.
“And there are forces still out there that are making plans for the future doing the exact same thing or a variation of that,” Jones said.
The documentary portrays an exercise where members of the federal government, intelligence services and armed forces run a simulation in which a paramilitary group attempts to disrupt the certification of the 2024 presidential election that the sitting commander-in-chief fairly won.
The military group is called the “Order of Columbus” and shows some resemblance to QAnon and Oath Keepers.
The film’s director, Tony Gerber, suggested that the Biden Administration should be doing similar exercises.
“Absolutely, they should be,” Gerber said during his appearance on CNN Saturday.

Or meant to be.
I know several of you will point this out... 😂
Yea Right.
RATs can take their phony democracy and shove it.
“Former Alabama Sen. Doug Jones (D) said that the new film “War Game” shows “how close” the U.S. came to losing democracy on Jan. 6, 2021.”
In order to ‘lose democracy’, you need some 3 MILLION federal workers and military people to start taking orders from, basically, a clown who’s wearing a Viking wig with horns.
Personally, I don’t think so, but then I’m not a Democrat either.
Jan. 6 was a PEACEFUL protest except for implanted FBI, Wash DC cops, and DHS infiltration.
The FBI actually planted a live bomb. (Several threads about that here on FR.)
Know people don't often read tag line so I will repeat here: Do NOT forget Ashli Babbit!
a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of American citizens protested. just how in the world would a small group of unarmed people be able to take over the government in DC that could possibly spread to the entire country? sorry to point it out people but our government is filled with delusionally insane leaders.
Side note: Atlas Shrugged was a slog to read through. But put it up there with 1984 and Animal Farm (Orwell) as prophetic.
The “pipe bomb” is subject to hearings you might like to know.
Rep. Thomas Massie has been following it:

Thanks. Good link.
I assume that was the purpose of the movie. To create a false perception in the minds of the viewers as to what happened on January 6th.
More fear mongering
Still an idiot.
Anyone who doesn't think the Left is engaged in a revolution to destroy our country isn't paying attention or is too stupid to figure out what is happening right in front of their eyes.
That said, all Marxist useful idiots do not know the plan. They are just reciting the party line as a form of virtue signaling.
America DID lose democracy on January 6! A cheated election was ratified.
Don’t worry, though, the cat-ladies who watch CNN will save us!
Showing how small they are by making a campaign issue out of what was to be something small. These small beings will continue beating this dead jackass forever.
They’re proud of it because they created it.
Yeah, because those 'paramilitary groups' always stay inside the velvet ropes. 🙄
This is the POS democrat that Glitch McConnell preferred over Judge Moore. Doug didn't last long but he did serve the uni-Party purpose.
We actually lost “democracy” on Nov 4 2020, not Jan 6 2021.
Former senator says new film shows ‘how close’ we came to losing democracy on Jan. 6

I just do not see how the event of J6 had anything to do with losing the right to vote, since democracy is a process, not a state.
Close to losing it?
We did.
