MAGA can't whitewash what happened on January 6, 2021 because of the uncontradicted J6 Report and because the insurrectionists themselves photographed and videotaped their crimes.
We’ll continue to tell the story of how brave police officers defended the Capitol against Trump’s rampaging mob.

Show up, create chaos, scare the shit out of the citizens, and when one freaks out and tries to run, shoot her. The death penalty for disobeying ICE.
Then, when you go to court, lie about how "in danger" you felt.
Didn't we just claim we rescued Venezuela from a dictator attacking his own citizens?
