Sorry. Jan 6 was not an insurrection no matter how many times it's repeated

Jan 6 as related by Democrats

If you want to see hyperbole in action, spend some time on Twitter (X). It is populated by quite a diverse assortment of liberal yokels. Someone seizes upon a theme and when the dog whistle is blown they come a runnin' for a day or two and then the air comes out of the balloon. But one theme persists-that Jan 6 was an insurrection.

It wasn't.

But that doesn't dissuade the left from continuing the nonsense.

And:

As 2024 begins, we have to keep in the forefront of our minds that Trump and traitors poured the gasoline on , lit the match, and attempted a coup on the United States government.

Y’all saw it play out in real time and no matter how the GOP tries to spin it, it was an insurrection. The Republican Party beat and killed the police they say they supported. The broke through windows and ravaged our Capitol. They erected a noose to hang our VP, and screamed for the death of our Speaker Of Congress. Unable, or unwilling to face defeat by popular vote AND electoral college, they decided, planned, and acted out pure treason on our government. Fake electors, armed militia and FOX propaganda supported this violent day on Jan 6. Trump led the failed attempt. America must hold all involved from the lowest to the highest of perpetrators.

We must not blink at the chaos they throw us. We must keep watching videos of that shocking day, and we must vote them all out. They have proven beyond any reasonable doubt that our democracy is at risk if they are re-elected.

Remember #Jan6 and how y’all felt that day. Vote Blue with such passion and in such large numbers that no one would dare to default to 2024 being rigged.

We deserve to know how and by whom the GOP was compromised to the point of treason. Hold the line!

Vote in a Dem supermajority. #FreshResists #wtpBLUE

And my favorite

We must never forget what Trump did to our country on January 6, 2021 - and just because his coup did not succeed, we can't let the outrage we felt that day subside.

Because if a coup attempt goes unpunished, then it is simply a training exercise for the next one.#TraitorTrump pic.twitter.com/b6n7pmQ0co

The left loves the word "insurrection." It is a mainstay for CNN. But who has been charged with insurrection? To my knowledge, no one.

NPR grudgingly calls it what it was - a riot. A protest that turned into a riot. Newsweek also calls it a riot.

Was it armed? Not seriously. A few carried weapons with them, but the only weapon discharged that day was the one used by Michael Byrd to murder Ashli Babbitt.

We cannot continue to let them get away with branding J6 as an insurrection. This has to stop now!
