Capitol rally seeks to rewrite Jan. 6 by exalting rioters
Associated Press ^ | September 13, 2021 | Lisa Mascaro

Posted on 09/12/2021 10:24:13 PM PDT by Olog-hai

First, some blamed the deadly Jan. 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol on left-wing antifa antagonists, a theory quickly debunked. Then came comparisons of the rioters to peaceful protesters or even tourists.

Now, allies of former President Donald Trump are calling those charged in the Capitol riot “political prisoners,” a stunning effort to revise the narrative of that deadly day. […]

“Some people are calling it Jan. 6 trutherism — they’re rewriting the narrative to make it seem like Jan. 6 was no big deal, and it was a damn big deal, and an attack on our democracy,” said Heidi Beirich, co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, who studies extremist movements. […]

Rally organizer Matt Braynard, a former Trump campaign strategist, has been promoting the event and others like it in cities nationwide, focusing attention on what he calls the “prisoners” being unfairly prosecuted for their involvement in the Jan. 6 riot.

“I am so proud of all of the brave patriots who participated in these rallies under the same threat to their rights of so many who are being held in prison now for a non-violent expression of their First Amendment rights,” he said in a July news release. …

Bullshit! It is a FBI trap like the first one was. Go ahead and attend. There is room in the Washington, D.C. jail house for you. If not, they will make room.

They were incarcerated months ago for trials next year! In the meantime, they are subjected to isolation in order to break them psychologically! Garsh! Why did I ever think they were Biden Regime Political Prisoners?

Last I heard, their attorney ‘went missing’. It sounded like he’s in hiding.

January 6th must become a day of remembrance for Ashli the martyr, the political prisoners and the coup.

“that deadly day?”

They didn’t kill anybody.

Ashli Babbit got killed. By the guard or whoever he is.

You’d think it was some sort of massacre.

They [Progressives] lie out of the woods too. Progressives lie in the air when they are in the air. Progressives lie in the water when they are in the water. Progressives lie where ever they are.

Look up Lisa Mascaro. She is a political activist who worked for the Lincoln Strategy Group. She is a left-wing hack writing an option piece in an effort to maintain a false narrative. It’s time to start identifying these activists and start focusing attention and heat directly to them.

“First, some blamed the deadly (do you mean Ashley Babbitt murdered by CapitolPolice?) Jan.6 ‘attack’ at the U S Capitol on left-wing antifa antagonists, a theory quickly debunked, ...”
No, a fact proven.

Lisa Mascaro is a stupid young twitt useful idiot given a national voice.

It’s not ‘debunked’ just because they claim it’s ‘debunked’. In fact, they’ve been claiming everything they don’t want to discuss ‘debunked’ for a while now.

It’s a tactic and nobody should fall for it anymore.

of course, they are political prisoners.

they are a necessary part of maintaining the fake narrative that the election of Biden was legitimate.

That was my first thought as well. However, we can’t just hide and not exercise our right to free speech just because the government will attempt to insert agents provocateur in every pro-American crowd.

I say go. And if any suspected FBI/Antifa-type agitators show up in Trump garb and try to start trouble, then it’s incumbent upon the crowd to stop them by beating the ever-loving crap out of them if necessary. Wrestle them to the ground and expose who they really are. The worst the feds could do is charge the good guys with disorderly conduct or maybe some form of assault, but they would have no grounds to try to charge “sedition” or anything else foolish, because after all, it would at worst just be some Trump supporters fighting with other “Trump supporters.” And at best, the video evidence would prove that the actual good guys were trying to stop the agitators. If only the actual Trump supporters on January 6th had completely smothered the Antifa idiots conducting the false flag. Some apparently tried, but given what we know now half-measures in that regard will only get our own guys blamed. If you’re going to stop the evil imitators, then STOP them cold. They will always be vastly outnumbered by the crowd.

Propaganda, very thinly disguised as news.

This piece of dog dung writes for one of the most dishonest groups of liars on the planet. They sing the same notes of the same dreadful leftist song everyday. It gets tiresome.
