You're so clearly on the wrong side of this dispute that I don't know why you persist. You downplay 1/6 the same way that Trump downplayed the virus; heedless of facts and evidence and untethered from reality.
A Republican-appointed judge just smacked down GOP deniers on January 6
The violent insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6 was a dark day in American history. The attempted rewriting of what actually happened that day -- when more than 100 police officers were injured and five people died -- by former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies is even more noxious.
On Wednesday, a federal judge named Royce Lamberth had had enough. Lamberth used the first sentencing hearing for a defendant charged in the attack on the Capitol to blast Republicans trying to cast January 6 as anything other than a violent riot aimed at stopping the wheels of democracy from turning.
"I'm especially troubled by the accounts of some members of Congress that January 6 was just a day of tourists walking through the Capitol," Lamberth said. "I don't know what planet they were on. ... This was not a peaceful demonstration. It was not an accident that it turned violent; it was intended to halt the very functioning of our government."
Lamberth, who was appointed to his judgeship by the late Republican president Ronald Reagan, added that newly released videos from inside the riot that day "will show the attempt of some congressman to rewrite history that these were tourists walking through the capitol is utter nonsense."
