The Insurrection Lie
Just like the Dems were swift to proclaim Trump lost the election before all votes were counted and all legal claims satisfied, they were even quicker to impeach Trump and blame him for a few people breaking into capitol. 500,000 folks legally showed up to peacefully protest “the steal” and .001% of them were there looking for violence. But where is the headline on CNN saying “Vast, vast majority of protesters were peaceful.” Nowhere! All Trump supporters were instantly thrown into “violent mob” status. The label Dems love is insurrection. But that is a lie.

This was their grievance: Seventy-five million had cast their ballots for Trump on election day.
Then, in the wee hours, when Las Vegas oddsmakers were calling a Trump victory, counting inexplicably stopped, and a disproportionate number of Biden votes appeared.
The Biden votes were primarily from Democrat-controlled cities: Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Milwaukee.
They were culled from mail-in ballots, an accommodation hurriedly retrofitted into the voting system because of a pandemic.
The election’s statistical anomalies were mind boggling, including Republican dominance down ballot, Trump’s significant support among minority voters, and his victory in all traditional bell weathers.
In June, Attorney General Bill Barr sat for an interview in CNN’s Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer and warned of fraud with mail-in voting.
He said: “People trying to change the rules to this, to this methodology – which, as a matter of logic, is very open to fraud and coercion – is reckless and dangerous and people are playing with fire.”
President Trump addressed the protesters and called on the assembled to march “over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
At the moment the President was uttering the words “peacefully,” though, a different more sinister group had already gathered at the Capitol, a full 45 minute walk away.
Whatever happened there is not yet fully understood. Given the proclivity of federal law enforcement to act politically against Trump, it unfortunately may never be.
Some things, though, are certain. We know, for instance, that many of the troublemakers were not Trump supporters.
We know, too, that Capitol Police waved at least some Trump supporters into the building.
