Opinion | The shameless revisionism of the Capitol attack cannot be allowed to take root
An oral history of those who were terrorized on Capitol Hill will help rebut attempts by Trump and his allies to rewrite the story of what happened that awful day.

Come Tuesday, it will be three months since supporters of Donald Trump staged a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Not much time at all, really. But the former president and his enablers have been hard at work trying to persuade Americans not to believe what we all saw with our own eyes that day.

“It was zero threat,” Trump told friendly Fox News host Laura Ingraham last month. “Some of them went in, and they’re hugging and kissing the police and the guards, you know? They had great relationships.”

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told a radio host that the rioters were “people that love this country, that truly respect law enforcement, would never do anything to break the law,” and added: “I never felt threatened.”

This kind of shameless revisionism cannot be allowed to take root. It is important to keep fresh in our memories the true sights and sounds of that day — a day when Congress was supposed to be performing its duty to certify the electoral college tally of the 2020 election. A day when democracy itself came under attack by faux patriots.

The whole country witnessed an insurrectionist mob, which Trump later referred to as “very special” people, breaching the building and going on a rampage. More than 350 individuals have since been charged in violence that left five people dead and about 140 police officers injured.

4. The trDump supporters came to hug and kiss and make love to the Capitol police,...

.... the only violent ones who showed up were Anti-Fascists,... they were so tricky they showed up looking like patriots while they carried AmeriKKKan and trDump flags.

This was all just a false flag attack so the hyper patriotic trDump group would be blamed for any wrongdoings that day.
