Former Republican Virginia Rep. Denver Riggleman told CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday that he views the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as an attempted coup by former President Trump.
The big picture: Riggleman said people around Trump had an "awareness" of what they were doing when they repeated "propaganda" and "conspiracy theories" that preceded the riot and mainlined "insanity into people's heads."
Riggleman, a former adviser to the select panel investigating the Jan. 6 riot, said he no longer considers himself a Republican. "I think the party left me some time ago," he said.

Whadda drama queen!
I see the RINOs all got their talking points from their “leader..” and I am assuming that “leader” is leader “Team Mitch..”
Lunatic!
If it were an attempted coup….they’d know.
Well, you’re a former congressman because you lost your primary after one term, so yeah, I guess the party “left you”.
A group of unarmed citizens try to overthrow the government?
Yea right.
What a bunch of idiots. They stole the election and are trying to do everything they can to point the blame at the victim, the duly elected Republican President.
Following Queen Pelosi’s orders I see.
Jan 3rd was a successful one by Democrats
There was no attempted coup in any way, shape or form. It was a protest with a group of smart a**** who caused a riot.
There were no guns, no fires, no bombings, not a single politician was harmed. No one was making a speech. No one said we're taking over the government.
It was a damn riot....and nothing more.
And if LE had provided the personnel requested by President Trump...it likely would have been under control in a few minutes.
What did she say?? It would look bad??
All these assclowns are coming out of the woodwork ahead of the Kangaroo Public Agitation by the dhimmicraps.
There was NEVER any attempt to overthrow anything, and these schmucks know it.
funny how My first assumption is that the person is compromised to the point of long jail sentence when they say Trump attempted a coup on jan 6th
No....it was a peaceful demonstration that got a little rowdy. A "riot" is what you had in Seattle and Portland and some other locales....
A Kerensky Republican. He will never be acceptable to Marxists, try though he might.
No - the attempted coup was the massive ballot box stuffing and stolen election by Obama and the Democrats and aided and abetted by RINOs.
You people do NOT want to go down this course of action.
RINOs RINOs everywhere.
The monsters masquerading as humans will lie to grind our faces in shards of broken glass until their last undeserved breath.
Worst coup ever... “Peacefully and Patriotically’”
You'd think his father and grandfather would have learned something after years of teasing, taunting, and bullying.
