Former Alabama Sen. Doug Jones (D) said that the new film “War Game” shows “how close” the U.S. came to losing democracy on Jan. 6, 2021.
During his appearance on CNN Saturday, the former lawmaker was asked by anchor Jim Acosta to share his thoughts about the new movie which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this week.
Jones, who was acting as the attorney general in the movie, said that the film is a reminder for the public about the possible outcomes of the attack on the Capitol.
“I think that these kinds of films are very, very important for the public to see, to be reminded of how closely we came on January 6, 2021, of losing our government, of losing our democracy,” Jones said.
The former senator also warned about “forces” in the country who are currently plotting how to execute a similar attack.
“And there are forces still out there that are making plans for the future doing the exact same thing or a variation of that,” Jones said.
The documentary portrays an exercise where members of the federal government, intelligence services and armed forces run a simulation in which a paramilitary group attempts to disrupt the certification of the 2024 presidential election that the sitting commander-in-chief fairly won.
The military group is called the “Order of Columbus” and shows some resemblance to QAnon and Oath Keepers.
The film’s director, Tony Gerber, suggested that the Biden Administration should be doing similar exercises.
“Absolutely, they should be,” Gerber said during his appearance on CNN Saturday.

How many who walked into the building touched something, touched someone or made trouble?
“The former senator also warned about “forces” in the country who are currently plotting how to execute a similar attack.”
And they all have 3 or 4 letters to their name.
So close to ending democracy that 4 hours later biteme was installed. Ends justify the means. Now this fake J6 is all the dems have to run on. I call projection.
Quit the lying.
if thats truly the case Senator...pretty pathetic little “country “ ya got there
This guy is delusional. People with few or very few guns, zero organization except for feds scattered through crowds organizingand encouraging almost over threw the federal government? Lol lay down the bong
Just how do the mentally ill rise to positions of authority and responsibility? This tool is and example of that phenomenon.
Oh blow it out your a**, Senator!
It seems I’ve heard that gun control is reasonable because you would need F16s and Abrams tanks to overthrow the government. Just what secret weapons did those grandmas and old fat guys have?
Shooting a unarmed female saved democracy?
A movie I have watched at least a dozen times.
Like the movie ‘Network’ it was meant to inform the public about what really goes on in Media and Politics.
Yet, if you took a survey, at least half of those questioned would have no idea that those two movies existed.
So it would seem that as a society/nation, we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Those who know the facts and truth and history are outnumbered by those who don’t.
“Forces” in the country who are currently plotting how to execute a similar attack.
Yes and it’s the WH it started on 20202.
LOL. These idiots are so stupid.
We actually lost “democracy” on Nov 4 2020, not Jan 6 2021.
++++++++++++
I think the argument can be made that it was lost 12 years prior on NOV 4th, 2008
Biden: “We choose truth over facts.”
The 2020 race riots were a million times worse than the DC demonstration. Our. nation is close to ruin after that.
They lasted three months vs three hours. Law and order collapsed across the land, crime rampant, $2 billion property damage, hundreds of extremely violent riots, 1,500 police injured, 35 deaths. Our history erased, black ascendancy, whites excoriated, whites accused of every ill under the sun. Race relations destroyed for decades. Military recruiting and readiness collapsed. US military now ranked as Weak. To this day, they are constantly shoving it in our faces with gigantic BLM “murals” on city streets. Cities deserted, stores closing due to sky-high crime. Commercial Real Estate values collapsing across the country. Huge banking crisis is on the way. Thousands of people arrested and let go the same day. NONE were held for three years in the DC Gulag. The FBI did not spend a million man hours tracking the criminals down, arresting them at all hours at their homes.
All because a violent felon junkie died and the commie leftists stoked the flames.
Which event is really destroying our nation? By every measure, the answer is clear.
We lost it in 2008.
“Now this fake J6 is all the dems have to run on.”
Don’t forget abortion. It’s their 2nd line of offense.
