I'm confused about January 6.

Reading CNN just now, it seems Republicans are saying Jan 6 was peaceful and quiet. But they're also saying Antifa, or the FBI, incited the riot.

So yeah, I'm confused... were there two parallel universes going that day?

It’s a cavern of ignorance and dark ambition in there. They’re prone to believe just about any bullshit they’re fed. Even if they contradict themselves. Such dopes and traitors.
