Iconoclast: Pelosi’s Jan. 6 Narrative Collapsing
Jan. 6 was not “an insurrection,” but “a protest that became a riot when a woefully insufficient security plan collapsed,” argues Jonathan Turley at The Hill.
Nancy Pelosi’s “House Select Committee to investigate Jan. 6” pushed the narrative that it “ was an attempt to overthrow our democracy by Trump and his supporters,” but “fostered false accounts” and dismissed evidence that “confirmed that Trump did, in fact, offer the deployment of the National Guard in anticipation of the protest.”
Now a new report “shows that it was the Defense Department that delayed the eventual deployment of National Guard in the critical hours of the riot.”
“None of this means that Trump” is “without fault in this matter,” but “these reports only further highlight what we still do not know about that day.”
From the right: Democrats Deaf to Voters
“The first step to any recovery is admitting you have a problem,” argues The Wall Street Journal’s Allysia Finley. Yet Democrats “won’t admit that their policies are the cause.”
From his “bubble,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom “ordered a special legislative session to ’Trump-proof’ California’s progressive policies, such as its electric-vehicles mandate.”
