It's important to remember our historical moments as they truly happened, and not as they were told by the mainstream media. With that in mind, it's plainly apparent that the narrative around the January 6th protest at the nation's Capitol was carefully crafted to make Democrats seem like the passive victims in a horrible crime carried out by MAGA Republicans.
The truth is that Capitol Police officers were more than willing to let protesters “storm” the Capitol, and the unedited footage of the event proves this beyond a doubt. Thanks to Tucker Carlson and Speaker Kevin McCarthy, we now have more than 40,000 hours of unedited videos that show what actually happened.
First and foremost, it should be stated that the vast majority of protesters did not commit acts of terrorism (as many Democrats have claimed). No where in the footage does it show people committing acts of political violence, with most people instead choosing to take in the sites of the Capitol and wander around previously off-limits locations.
The other aspect to consider are the hefty punishments dolled out to otherwise-law abiding citizens in the fallout of January 6th. Democrats pounced on the opportunity to punish people like Jacob Chansley (the QAnon Shaman) with sentences of four years in prison. Ask yourself if it makes sense to charge a man with terrorism for postering behind the Speaker's Desk in the House of Representatives.
While it's still unclear what the long-term effects of January 6th will be, we now know that the Democratic narrative of the event as a violent riot aimed at overthrowing the election was far from the on-the-ground reality. To read more about the Democrat's failing narrative, please read this article from Townhall. An excerpt of the article has been copied below:
Fox News host Tucker Carlson did it. He released the unedited footage of the January 6 riot, part of the 41,000 hours of footage given to him by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. News of this disclosure sent liberal America into full tantrum mode because they knew all the false narratives about that day would be eviscerated.
Carlson wasted no time, dispensing with the ongoing myth that this day was worse than 9/11 or the Pearl Harbor attacks. It was, at times, chaotic and violent, but we knew why Democrats didn’t want this footage released. It was mainly a tedious exercise.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of people entered the Capitol Building only to sightsee, take local newspapers off tables, and walk around their building. They revere the institution, protesting because they thought the 2020 election was stolen. Whether they’re right or wrong is irrelevant; you can hold incorrect opinions. Just ask any Democrat. And yet, this event was weaponized by the Department of Justice to carry out retribution on behalf of the political class. We have scores of people imprisoned for mere trespassing, serving sentences that escape most violent criminals nowadays.
