Wow, Democrats Lost the January 6 Capitol Riot Narrative Big Time
PJ Media ^ | 01/07/2025 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 01/07/2025 9:31:46 AM PST by SeekAndFind

In the four years since the Capitol riot, Democrats have tried incessantly to turn it into a national tragedy akin to 9/11 and/or the Pearl Harbor attack. With the goal of preventing Trump from being able to seek the presidency again, they even called it an insurrection (it wasn’t) and accused Trump of inciting it (he didn’t).

Their efforts failed, and Trump was reelected on November 5, becoming the first Republican presidential candidate to win the national popular vote since George W. Bush. Oh, what a sweet victory it was. On Monday, Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris was certified, and once again, Democrats proved they just can’t let their phony baloney narrative go.

I won’t bother posting all the tweets from Democrats waxing philosophical about the difference between January 6, 2025, and January 6, 2021, but I will show you this cringy post from Sen. Chuck Schumer and some silly “moment of prayer” he and a few other January Sixth-copalians held on Monday.

Today, we held a moment of prayer near the door where rioters first broke into the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

We mourn the lives lost in connection to the attack.
We mourn the officers who died in the days, weeks, and months after the attack.
We pray for their families, that they find comfort and grace.

They’re really trying hard, aren’t they?

The problem for them is that it’s not working. Despite all their efforts, that day didn’t leave the lasting political scar on the public Democrats had hoped for.

What’s REALLY notable, is that Schumer used Twitter and not Blue Sky.

They pushed it so hard, it backfired.

A liberal friend is telling me that the House of Representatives and the Senate all voted to call it an insurrection. Is that true?

Trump is the Roadrunner and Democrats are Wile E. Coyote.

The truth about J-6 is about to come out and then America can decide.

I think that’s true.

If the Democrats had simply hammered on the concept that it was “shameful moment” in our history, and pretty much left it at that — no prosecutions, no lawfare, no impeachment of Donald Trump the civilian — then I think the public would have absorbed the message. The message was still a lie, of course, but it would have been digestible. I think a huge part of the electorate would have gone to the polls in 2024 thinking that Trump had embarrassed the country and just shouldn’t be rewarded. I think the Democrats could have profited from that approach.

But they were bloodthirsty and they pushed it too hard and people started actually looking at what really happened. And that hasn’t worked out so well for the Democrats.

I don’t think the dems even knew the term “insurrection” before January 6th. But once they realized they could exploit it for political effect, they all suddenly started speaking like they were Tom Clancy.

The legend was created in the summer of 2020. A core group met to orchestrate its rollout. People like Miley, Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell, the IC met in the run up to J6 to stage its delivery.

I’ve seen the claim that somebody on a Zoom call about it has footage of it. If that is so, all of those players need to spend some time in Gitmo until the military tribunal and hangings.

Absolutely. The cabal extensively war gamed Trump’s responses to the stolen election. The Reichstag Fire J6 agit prop was designed to smear Trump as a traitor and punish his supporters about protesting the election. No doubt the crowd was filled with outside agitators. It was all preplanned.

They’re pushing the word “retribution,” now. Apparently “justice” isn’t in their vocabulary.

Say it with me...re-tri-bu-tion.

Respected scholar Sunny Hostin called it worse that the Holocaust! (She has a PhD in Hissy.)

Totally agree. Just like with everything else (LGBT/trans, illegal immigration, etc.) the demonrats went too far. There could have been a (still lying) narrative that served their purpose, but the over the top law fare and J6 hysteria only helped to get PDJT reelected for the third time...
