Donald Trump’s attempts to rewrite history regarding the events of January 6 are not only dishonest, but also extremely dangerous. By spreading misinformation and attempting to discredit the facts, he is undermining the very foundation of democracy – the trust in accurate information and the rule of law. It is crucial that we do not let him get away with this revisionism.
The insurrection on January 6 was not a peaceful protest; it was an act of domestic terrorism fueled by lies and conspiracy theories. Those who participated in the attack should be held accountable for their actions, and any attempts to downplay or justify their behavior must be firmly rejected.
It is important for Americans to remember what truly happened on that day, so that we can prevent such incidents from happening again in the future. We must not allow politicians like Elise Stefanik and Mike Johnson to spread baseless claims and false narratives about the events of January 6.
In order to protect our democracy, we need to ensure that the truth about what occurred on January 6 continues to be widely known and acknowledged. This means holding those responsible accountable, debunking conspiracy theories, and promoting accurate information about the events of that day.
As Joe Biden has pointed out, the anti-democratic threat has not abated since January 6. In fact, it has grown even more significant. It is up to all of us to stand up against this threat and ensure that our country remains a shining example of democracy and freedom for generations to come.
So let’s not fall prey to Donald Trump’s attempts to rewrite history and obscure the truth. Let’s remember what really happened on January 6, hold those responsible accountable, and work together to protect our democracy.
