The president-elect and his allies have spent four years reinventing the Capitol attack — spreading conspiracy theories and weaving a tale of martyrdom to their ultimate political gain.
In two weeks, Donald J. Trump is to emerge from an arched portal of the United States Capitol to once again take the presidential oath of office. As the Inauguration Day ritual conveying the peaceful transfer of power unfolds, he will stand where the worst of the mayhem of Jan. 6, 2021, took place, largely in his name.
Directly behind Mr. Trump will be the metal-and-glass doors where protesters, inflamed by his lie that the 2020 election had been stolen from him, stormed the Capitol with clubs, chemical irritants and other weapons. To his left, the spot where roaring rioters and outnumbered police officers fought hand to hand. To his right, where the prostrate body of a dying woman was jostled in the bloody fray.
And before him, a dozen marble steps descending to a lectern adorned with the presidential seal. The same steps where, four years earlier, Trump flags were waved above the frenzied crowd and wielded like spears; where an officer was dragged facedown to be beaten with an American flag on a pole and another was pulled into the scrum to be kicked and stomped.
In the wake of the attack on the Capitol, Mr. Trump’s volatile political career seemed over, his incendiary words before the riot rattling the leaders of his own Republican Party. Myriad factors explain his stunning resurrection, but not least of them is how effectively he and his loyalists have laundered the history of Jan. 6, turning a political nightmare into a political asset.

"I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard," Trump said in his speech.
It's like something written by a manic freshman journalism major, hopped up on Adderall.
BTTT
Weird how the lying, Gaslighting Communist clowns Dan Barry and Alan Feuer don't mention how those very same doors had to be PURPOSEFULLY unlocked by the Deep State conspirators who later tried to imprison President Trump...
No bias here, is there? Where is the video evidence of these atrocities they’re claiming happened? Oh that’s right, they’ve been erased.
The part about the protestors beating Officer Brian Sicknick to death with the fire extinguisher, that really got me. But not quite as much as Nancy Pelosi and all those who cynically exploited something that didn’t even actually happen. He lay in state in the Capitol Rotunda for her desire to get Trump. Good grief. Well, now it’s payback time.

I guess their orders were to only shoot defenseless women.
Never forget this:
The Parliamentary Motive Behind the J6 Fedsurrection (Mar 12, 2023)
Nancy was able to hide Byrd at Camp David for 6 months, then promoting him.
During the summer of 2020, The Atlantic cooked up an insurrection narrative they then rolled out.
A core group of pols and military met for weeks, plotting the Trump will never leave story, including the response to such.
TODO on Jan 20 Mr. President: the second thing after a full pardon for all the tainted lawfare prosecutions and convictions of our patriot protestors on j6; all these fed ASSets (paid, groomed and allied) need to be run to ground, exposed and prosecuted. immediately. they need to be questioned on who gave them the orders to commit and incite violence on j6, while knowingly trapping innocent patriots on our side in the mayhem. those thugs in authority who murdered our protestors need to be brought to justice immediately.
the powers and politicians who set us up on j6 and gave those orders, also stole an election and our country. they need to be punished for that treason with prison. frankly any thing less is failure Mr. President.
That darn Trump guy simply overwhelmed EVERY major news organization in the entire world!
They love him so!
Where is Pelosi? She is the arch villain and projectionist of what is known as the staged J-6 Fed Insurrection. It was meant to be her crowning academy award production. She of all the involved villains hatched this disgraceful historical debacle. Communist Pelosi and her comrades will never admit that they are the true criminal traitors of America. Only placing her on trial and convicting her for this most foul act of treason will suffice.
The article is garbage. Myths are all these people have.
