How Democrats, mainstream media used and abused Jan. 6 ‘insurrection’
Congress will again certify Electoral College result

OPINION:
On Monday, Jan. 6, Congress will convene to certify the 2024 reelection of former President Donald Trump.
Jan. 6, 2025, marks the fourth anniversary of the Capitol riot that Democrats and their media still falsely portray as an “insurrection.”
Hundreds of Trump supporters gathered at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after Mr. Trump spoke to a crowd.
Among other things, he said: “Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore, and that’s what this is all about. To use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with, we will ‘stop the steal.’”
He urged them to protest Congress’ counting of Electoral College ballots. Here’s the part that the media often ignore: “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
Many of the demonstrators went to the Capitol hoping to persuade Congress to review alleged evidence of vote fraud that several courts had declined to examine. For the same reason, some Republican lawmakers tried unsuccessfully to delay the vote.
Dozens of hotheads rioted, broke windows, attacked police and forced their way inside. Hundreds followed, many walking in peacefully, unimpeded by police. Then-Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson obtained video that showed many peaceful interactions between police and strolling protesters in the Capitol’s halls.
