What a grim reminder.
I remember thinking that day that Trump's political career was over. And Republicans in Congress were even denouncing him and lamenting that day.
Then, Fox & Carlson & others took over, and the downplaying of January 6th into a peaceful protest and "tourist" event took over. It evolved to the point where there were moments of silence for the "J6 hostages," and they somehow became patriots.
Trump called it a "beautiful day" and talked about how there was so much love - the video did an outstanding job juxtaposing that against rioters beating on cops and chanting "hang Mike Pence."
That was such a dark day - and now Trump is promising to pardon criminals who participated. That alone should be disqualifying. Literally, the only thing that matters to Trump is that they were fighting for him. He even said essentially that in his recorded call w/ McCarthy.
How can "law & order" conservatives continue to excuse this?
