There Was an Insurrection on Jan. 6

But Not by President Trump

As the two year anniversary of January 6 is coming up in six days, most of those who went to the Capitol that day were protesting the election in support of Donald Trump. On January 6th, the Capitol building in Washington DC was entered by pro-Trump supporters. We all saw the chaos. We saw where Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, was murdered by a Capitol policeman, the only person who died that day.

This event sparked a flurry of accusations and counter-accusations about who was responsible for the violence and chaos that erupted as well as who got the crowd excited.

Donald Trump told the protesters to march peacefully and patriotically to the Capitol. But it didn't matter what he said as the Democrats were out to lynch him. They blamed the day entirely on Donald Trump, thus the haters formed the January 6 Select Committee to ensure all the details would come out and Trump would be indicted on a criminal charge. They all salivated, picturing Trump in handcuffs and eventually in stripes

While many in the media and the Democratic Party were quick to blame the outgoing President Trump for inciting the mob, a closer examination of the events reveals that the notion of a “Trump-led insurrection” is unfounded.

And what about Ray Epps?

I would imagine, now that the Jan 6 Select Committee is over, Ray Epps was an important figure in the Capitol protest but Ray Epps is not mentioned in the 845-page J6 Committee report.
