Another “big lie” is now gripping the Republican Party: “Republicans face sustained pressure to disavow that it was supporters of former president Donald Trump who attacked the U.S. Capitol.”

1. News flash...it isn't working!

[stopdiggin]

2. so -- there were lots of other factions seeking to overturn the election?

I hadn't heard this. Russian agents?

[Maxheader]

11. In this country, cyber security folk..

have in the past listed most of our enemies as having at

one time or another attempted trespass in our systems

of one kind or another....

[stopdiggin]

18. t'was a joke!

or maybe you got it. Yes, hacking is ubiquitous -- and runs in both directions. (remember the embarrassment when it was revealed that U.S. was hacking and intercepting it's own allies? diplomatic cables? fun times!) So -- we should be under no delusions on that score.

Other hand -- I believe the OP and discussion was aimed toward the storming of the Capital? Which was (almost 100%) participation sport carried out by U.S. citizens. My joke was directed at the ridiculous fallacy that these people were anything other than Trump supporters! Who else? "Episcopalians?" "Kiwanis?" "Trekkie fans?" See how this is going?

3. as said to moscow mitch from Putin ! their boss !!

[Cracklin Charlie]

4. So, it was Biden supporters?

And, they wanted to stop certification of Biden’s election?

I don’t think this scheme is gonna work out.

[calimary]

6. Probably not, unless one is delusional.

And this bunch IS delusional beyond all measure.

[Jon King]

5. Not one swing voter would believe it so who cares.

The only people who would believe this stuff are already long, long gone and never coming back to the real world. Dems just need to keep governing for the masses, keep fighting for voters rights, and let the Repugs slowly rot away.

[czarjak]

7. Long slong though, unfortunately. Whatever it takes will take whatever?

[certainot]

8. they could do it if the guy who convinced millions of idiots smoking doesn't cause cancer

hadn't recently died of lung cancer

[Bucky]

10. Good lord they're like junkies always looking for a new high

[Mad_Machine76]

12. Ok. This is stupid

But what would BLM/Antifa have had to gain by stopping vote counting and keeping Trump POTUS (assuming it would have even succeeded)? How do the insurrectionists feel about being called BLM/Antifa (not that I particularly care about their feelings but still)?

[bullwinkle428]

13. Put your money on this - they will absolutely campaign for the 2022 Midterms

claiming that it was "Antifa and BLM radicals" that attacked the Capitol on January 6.

[kentuck]

14. Also, I notice that MTG is now wearing a new mask that says "NO SEDITION"...

So that does appear to be their latest strategy.

[MissMillie]

15. This one doesn't sell as well...

mostly because so many of them are proud that they did it.

[FakeNoose]

16. OK, who are they telling this Big Lie to?

Because the Dems aren't buying it, neither is the media, neither are the independent voters.
It must be a Big Lie for the Repukes who haven't quit the party yet, because nobody else will believe it.

[radical noodle]

17. This is so easily proven false

because trump said he "loved" them. He'd hardly say that about BLM and Antifa.

[IcyPeas]

19. Ha! perfect reasoning.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

21. Outstanding point!

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

20. Yeah right, it was BLM/Antifa

Let's see them say that in a court under oath.

[spanone]

22. throwing their most avowed supporters directly under the bus

[Nululu]

23. Biggest lie: Trump was a good president

I don't get the crazies who worship Trump. When Trump would laugh while stepping over their bodies to make a buck.

What's a friend of Trump? Someone he hasn't known long enough to betray.
