This government's redefining and lying about Jan. 6 should be the lead story on every newscast and newspaper because it directly impacts our democracy and national history. To relevant it to mid-broadcast or inside the paper is a dereliction of duty.
🚨BREAKING: On the 5th anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, the Trump White House launched a new website that rewrites the events of that day—portraying the violent effort to overturn the 2020 election as a miscarriage of justice and casting those who stormed the Capitol as victims.

Five years ago tomorrow, thousands of the president's supporters stormed the Capitol.

Trump has since dubbed Jan. 6 a "day of love."

Scroll through @propublica.org's massive trove of parler videos -- organized by time and location -- from that day and judge for yourself:
What Parler Saw During the Attack on the Capitol
ProPublica sifted through thousands of videos taken by Parler users to create an immersive, first-person view of the Capitol riot as experienced by those who were there.

Huge wealth gaps — a thin layer of extreme wealth “gilded” over deep poverty for millions: unaffordable housing and skyrocketing medical care costs. Even Gilded hospitals.

Political corruption — machine politics, bribery, and patronage were rampant at local and national levels. That was the Gilded Age.

The Gilded Age was a period from the 1870s to about 1900, marked by explosive economic growth, extreme wealth inequality, rapid industrialization, and widespread political corruption. The term was coined by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner in their 1873 satirical novel The Gilded Age.
