The Hill….
The White House launched a website Tuesday praising President Trump for his handling of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, simultaneously blaming Democrats for having “masterfully reversed reality” and saying Trump “corrected a historic wrong” in pardoning those charged with crimes related to the storming of the building.
The website, which became public on the fifth anniversary of the riot, is Trump’s latest defense of Jan. 6, where he told a crowd of his supporters the election was stolen and directed them to march to the Capitol.
At the time, the mob that stormed the Capitol threatened to hang then-Vice President Mike Pence after Trump criticized his running mate for not seeking to block former President Biden’s win in the 2020 race. Trump, who did not respond to the violence at the Capitol for hours, even after lawmakers in both parties were evacuated from the building, still falsely maintains that he won the 2020 election.
The new website blames Democrats for “certifying a fraud-ridden election” and fumes over the work of the House Jan. 6 committee. It also accuses U.S. Capitol Police of escalating tensions.
“With his triumphant return to the White House, President Trump wasted no time righting one of the darkest wrongs in modern American history. On Inauguration Day 2025, he issued sweeping pardons and commutations for the vast majority of January 6 defendants—patriotic citizens who had been viciously overcharged, denied due process, and held as political hostages by a vengeful regime,” the website states.
White House aide Stephen Cheung suggested the site was made as a trolling effort, writing he couldn’t believe media outlets “actually fell for our trap.”…

The White House site also points blame at the U.S. Capitol Police, claiming officers were dealing with “peaceful protestors.”
“Capitol Police aggressively fire tear gas, flash bangs, and rubber munitions into crowds of peaceful protesters, injuring many and deliberately escalating tensions,” the site states.
The riot spurred the largest prosecution in U.S. history, with prosecutors charging 1,600 people in connection with the riot, including many for violent crimes…..
Democrats did not stage an insurrection in 2021, but they sure contributed a lot to get Donald Trump elected in 2024. I know I should let that go, but I find it hard to get over.
Every day that Joe Biden stayed in a campaign he had no business running for, and then when he finally did leave, how his entire party had to walk on political eggshells to not offend his ego, did so much to bring us to where we are today.
Will the opposition party to the current regime learn? Not if they think that following the lead of Zohran Mamdani is going to help them.
