Poll: Half of Republicans believe false accounts of deadly U.S. Capitol riot

 

[Fantine]

I believe the documented facts, which have resulted in over 400 arrests so far.

Has there ever been another day where Capitol police had to arrest 400 "tourists?" SMH.

 

[Isilwen]

They most certainly did! Many of us will not forget!

But already, the truth is slipping away.

How do you figure that?

This is not surprising. Republicans were ok with Russia hijack our democracy and manipulate our election result as long as their guy in charge. You think they would object the so called Americans hijack our democracy and install their guy?

"In a recent interview with Fox News, Trump said the rioters posed “zero threat.” Other prominent Republicans, such as Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, have publicly doubted whether Trump supporters were behind the riot."

You said that as time goes by, people reinterpret. Most often they reinterpret to their own advantage and/or in accord with their existing political leanings.

With that in mind, which political faction (Left or Right, "Progressive" or Conservative, Democratic or Republican) talks about this event almost non-stop and makes it a major part of its election campaigning, etc.??

Not a difficult question to answer, is it?

I don't think Fox News and the majority of prominent Republicans care to have the truth, to begin with in regards to what happened on January 6th. So, I'm not sure it is slipping away so much as for them, it was never true to begin with.

Actually, the issue is bigger than that.

If a hundred people who like President Trump -- along with some others who hold other political views -- attacked the Capitol, how is that different from the thousands of Leftists who burned, looted, attacked government buildings, and injured people on many occasions last summer...

and are almost never mentioned, unless it's done with admiration, by people who are so desperate to keep their own version of what happened on January 6 endlessly before the public?

I know some Trump supporters who refuse to acknowledge the siege on the Capitol. I consider them to be in stubborn denial and defiant, despite being shown actual photos, articles with photos, videos of the rioters (i.e. chanting "Hang Mike Pence!"), and multiple articles about all of the FBI arrests.

Sorry if you guys don’t like being reminded of the time the former president assembled a mob to attack the Congress and VP for not giving him the election he lost. Maybe if the GOP had stood up to Trump’s lies either before or even after the attacks instead of defending them every step of the way they wouldn’t need to be constantly reminded of the real cost of those lies.

Too much reality for you?

So far 3 of 20 of us here do not believe Trump supporters violently took over the capitol. I think we need to hear even more about it.

Too little of it was the point being made there. How about answering the question that was asked?

I think it was a minor incident that is (as usual) blown way out of proportion.
The left has played this card too many times to take anything that they claim as serious...... seriously.
