Most of us have known all along that the January 6th Insurrection narrative was a hoax - albeit a very effective one - that was perpetrated by the Left. But there’s someone else whose actions on that fateful day have escaped the close scrutiny they deserve. A man whose seemingly perfectly-timed actions may have played a greater role in the events of that day than any other single individual.We’re talking, of course, about the actions of Trump’s former vice president, Mike Pence.
