Lies, Damned Lies, And Democrats: Jan. 6 Liars Must Be Held Accountable For The Lives They Ruined

In Shakespeare’s play Henry V, during Henry’s famous Crispin’s Day Speech, the king says that “this story shall the good man teach his son,” and Sts. Crispin and Crispian’s Day “shall ne’er go by, from this day to the ending of the world, but we in it shall be remember’d.” In like manner, and in a less positive tone, I would say that I hope in the future every good American shall teach his son about the Jan. 6 fraud and that the names of those media figures and government officials–particularly the Jan. 6 Select Committee in the House of Representatives–will be remembered. Why? Because this was a scandal bigger than Watergate. How? It was used to destroy the credibility of anyone who talked about voter fraud, it was used to justify the federal government targeting Americans both online and in person, it was used by the media to paint all Trump supporters as crazy domestic terrorists, it was used to justify banning Trump from most tech platforms and allowing the feds to target and harass him, and it was used to arrest, imprison, and even torture over 900 Americans.

And now, what do we find from the Jan. 6 tapes that Fox’s Tucker Carlson has obtained and begun to release? That at least three big assertions of the Jan. 6 Select Committee and its hysterical leftist allies were flat-out lies. One is that Ray Epps, whom some argue was a fed plant because he was not arrested even when he was the only person proved to have called for storming the Capitol ahead of time, lied in his testimony. Not only did Epps lie, but all those with access to the tapes–i.e. the Select Committee for one–would have known that he was lying; or at least, had access to the evidence that could have proved he was lying. Not to mention the fact the tapes show the majority of protestors behaving like peaceful, respectful tourists. There was no “armed insurrection”—there was a protest of people justly upset that their election, their republic, was being stolen from them. 

As Tucker said, these people are liars. “How staged and fraudulent was the work of the Jan. 6 Committee? Democrats hired a Good Morning America producer called James Goldston to dramatize the footage they released. They even dubbed in audio to make the pictures more sensational, as in a docudrama.”

We need to call out the names of the people who lied or spread the lies without second-guessing. First there’s the Jan. 6 committee: Bennie Thompson, Zoe Lofgren, Adam Schiff, Jamie Raskin, Pete Aguilar, Stephanie Murphy, Elaine Luria, Liz Cheney, and Adam Kinzinger. There’s Ray Epps. There’s all the reporters at The New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, The Washington Post, AP, Politico, CBS, TIME, and the other leftist media bastions that are still pushing Jan. 6 lies. There’s the congressmen who endorsed or are still endorsing harsh treatment of Jan. 6 prisoners or extravagant descriptions of the protests; including Lindsey Graham, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Hakeem Jeffries, Mike Rounds, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Mark Kelly, Richard Blumenthal, Kevin Kramer, Ilhan Omar, Markwayne Mullin, Eric Swalwell, Cori Bush, Amy Klobuchar, Ted Cruz, Elizabeth Warren, Kevin McCarthy, Ed Markey, and Maxine Waters (among many others, both Democrat and Republican, though particularly Democrat). “President” Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris lied and still lie about Jan. 6. These people and entities all need to be held accountable by Congress and by lawyers and by media. Citizens should be contacting Congress to demand investigations and organizing protests. If you consider the families of the nearly 1000 people arrested related to Jan. 6, as well as all the Trump allies accused in connection to the “riot,” there are literally thousands of Americans who have been impacted by the outrageous lies surrounding Jan. 6.
