How the Jan. 6 hearing played out on the pro-Trump web

Former president Donald Trump’s supporters scrambled to defend him online in the hours after the Jan. 6 committee’s hearings began, seeking to sow doubt about his involvement via the same social media channels that had captured clear evidence linking him to the Capitol assault.

In so doing, they reinforced the unmistakable role social media played in the 2021 insurrection and made clear that his supporters are determined to remain a major internet force, despite Trump’s ban from major platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.

Trump War Room, a Twitter account once run by his reelection campaign, tweeted, “Trump and the rally had nothing to do with the Capitol breach!,” defying the House committee’s effort to pin responsibility for the riot squarely on Trump.

On the message board Patriots.win — a spinoff of TheDonald.win, where members had shared ideas on how to sneak guns into Washington before the riot — a popular thread Friday called Jan. 6 “the most patriotic thing I’ve ever seen” and said anyone who disagrees is “an enemy of the nation.”

Fortunately these people are in the minority. Reality is going to slap them in the head so hard.

the higher up the ladder it goes the harder the slap!

We've seen the pathetic pleas from those 'lowlies' that 'didn't know it was this serious' to 'I thought it was OK'............, but those that are 'working' the legal system - let the law smack 'em in the head and give them some 'free time' in a federal institution - and not the one they attacked and desecrated!
