Videos on this page show how Trump & Republicans are responsible for instigating the January 6 Riots, Violence & Insurrection to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Rioters stormed the House & Senate chambers, wrecking havoc and destruction in the United States Capital. This was criminal, incitement, insurrection, sedition, treason and terrorism.

 

 

Per POLITIFACT: A growing number of protesters have been identified and connected to long histories supporting Trump, QAnon and far-right causes. There is no credible evidence that the crowd was infiltrated or led by antifa activists in disguise.

In the wake of a violent assault on the U.S. Capitol that left four protesters and a Capitol Police officer dead, many on the far-right are seeking to minimize the violence and deflect blame from an attack intended to disrupt the finalizing of Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential victory.

One persistent claim is that bad actors from the far-left impersonated supporters of President Donald Trump and are actually responsible for the violence.

Let’s be clear — this is completely fabricated. Nevertheless, this line of thought has pervaded social media, amplified by prominent voices such as Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Alabama. PolitiFact National rated claims from both Pants on Fire. [source: politifact.com/factchecks/2021/jan/08/jonathan-wichmann/no-capitol-insurrection-was-not-staged-antifa]

How Trump Supporters Took the U.S. Capitol (40 minute documentary by the New York Times – (Jul 1, 2021)

As part of a six-month investigation, The Times synchronized and mapped thousands of videos and police audio of the U.S. Capitol riot to provide the most complete picture to date of what happened — and why.

 

Inside the U.S. Capitol at the height of the siege

At 2:12 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021 supporters of President Trump began climbing through a window they had smashed on the northwest side of the U.S. Capitol. “Go! Go! Go!” someone shouted as the rioters, some in military gear, streamed in. It was the start of the most serious attack on the Capitol since the War of 1812. The mob coursed through the building, enraged that Congress was preparing to make Trump’s electoral defeat official. “Drag them out! … Hang them out!” rioters yelled at one point, as they gathered near the House chamber.

Officials in the House and Senate secured the doors of their respective chambers, but lawmakers were soon forced to retreat to undisclosed locations. Five people died on the grounds that day, including a Capitol police officer. In all, more than 50 officers were injured.

To reconstruct the pandemonium inside the Capitol, The Washington Post examined text messages, photos and hundreds of videos, some of which were exclusively obtained. By synchronizing the footage and locating some of the camera angles within a digital 3-D model of the building, The Post was able to map the rioters’ movements and assess how close they came to lawmakers — in some cases feet apart or separated only by a handful of vastly outnumbered police officers.

Trump Inspired Riot at US Capitol During Election Certification. America Prevails.

In a day that may live in infamy, Trump supporters breach the US Capitol building, causing property damage, injury to many and the loss of life in a riot fueled by Donald Trump’s reckless, false rhetoric about the election being a fraud and being stolen from him. During the riots, President-Elect Joe Biden addressed and calmed the nation, and urged Donald Trump to do the same. Shortly thereafter, Trump took to the airwaves and made matters even worse, again railing against a fraudulent election.

What are the possible remedies? Removing Trump via the 25th Amendment for unfitness, immediate impeachment and removal of Trump, AND expelling from Congress under Article 1, Section 5 of the Constitution for the likes of Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley for trying to overthrow the will of the American voters.
