Trump White House Launches Stunning January 6 Website Trashing 'Violent' Capitol Police

Source: Mediaite via Yahoo

President Donald Trump’s White House launched a website dedicated to the January 6 Capitol Riot on Tuesday that said the Democrats “staged the real insurrection” and claimed Capitol Police escalated the mayhem.

The key section of the website blames Democrats — and specifically, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) — for making the riot into a much bigger deal than it actually was. It also falsely claimed that the Democrats rigged the 2020 election before asserting that they led a witch hunt against Trump and his supporters in the aftermath of the riot.

It also included a timeline at the bottom of the page. One section blamed the cops for the riot getting out of control.

“Video evidence shows officers inexplicably removing barricades, opening Capitol doors, and even waving attendees inside the building—actions that facilitated entry—while simultaneously deploying violent force against others,” the website said. “These inconsistent and provocative tactics turned a peaceful demonstration into chaos.”
