He's consistently maintained that Biden won the 2020 election legitimately through garnering more votes than Donald Trump.
I don't know if the doctor's near-death experience somehow altered his perspective but I'm grateful for it...even if it took years to get there.
Aside from that, remember the democrats surrounded the Capitol with a chain link fence for a year or two after that?
And Republicans just accepted it.
The riot or whatever happened when over a million people were in the city, and we let them punk us like that.
...And the reason is, they wanted to cement a narrative in everybody's mind that a reckless demonstration that turned into a riot was a pre-planned insurrection by Donald Trump, who ordered it, and therefore, should forfeit his political career, and he should never be allowed to run for office.โ
A short video from prof Hanson, about Jan 6th ... very good!

I suspected from day one it was a Nanzi propaganda production. The only thing that surprised me was the FBI involvement. I suppose I still had some respect for them
This Dem-sponsored activity on January 6th describes a form of political assassination and must be viewed as such.
Now that President Trump has addressed the Venezuelan drug flow into America, he must plan to make headlines again by physically arresting--with many news photos--and summarily prosecuting the top Democrat power figures who planned his political assassination.
The weeks or months leading up to the 2026 mid-terms would be most appropriate.
“He’s consistently maintained that Biden won the 2020 election legitimately through garnering more votes than Donald Trump.”
He’s right. Biden did get more votes. The question is whether there were that many actual living voters. The whole J6 thing was a setup to scare off the ten Senators that were going to contest the certification and it worked.
Gosh, first time I ever thought I was smarter than VDH!
There’s one minor detail that may or may not be significant. Ray Epps, a resident of Arizona, claimed he flew to Washington to attend Trump’s rally. Strangely enough, he never attended the rally. Instead, he was at the capitol building urging everyone on.
I knew, or at least had strong suspicions, that J6 was not what it was made to look like, especially after I noticed Capitol police just standing around inside the building acting like it was no big deal, and when it was suggested that a lot of the rioters wearing Trump gear and waving Trump flags were not who they appeared to be. Then came the reports of Trump’s request for more security having been blown off by Pelosi. Factor in that we already had reason to suspect, if not safely assume, that there had been major election and voter fraud enough to make it look like Biden had actually won. It just didn’t sit right with me, and by the end of the day, I decided to trust my instincts.

Very good, Victor. Incidentally, we have known this on the FR Q thread since 2021.
Beyond that, the Autopen Administration HAD to establish the idea that the 2020 election was NOT stolen... because at least half of the country knew that it WAS stolen.
Now, with the capture and arrest of Nicholas Maduro, we can PROVE that the Biden / Autopen Administration was never legitimate!โ Globalism will suffer a serious blow.
L8r! BTTT!
They were arrested and persecuted.
