The Big Lie About the January 6th "Insurrection"

January 6, 2022 11:46am

Today is the one year anniversary of the riot at the US Capitol Building. And the Democrats and their allies in the propaganda press are taking full advantage of that to further the lie that Trump and his supporters engaged in an "insurrection" against the US government. I exposed some of those lies on my September 18th show.

The rioters who forced their way into The Capitol and/or attacked police officers are criminals who should be prosecuted. But video evidence proves that not all who entered the building that day did so forcefully. Capitol Police removed barricades, opened doors, and welcomed many protesters into the building! So those who were simply present in the building should face no charges whatsoever. But the politicized Department of Justice has thrown the book at everyone they can prove was there.

But what happened on January 6, 2021 was not an insurrection, or a coup, or an effort to overturn an election, or an attempt to overthrow the government. Although the protesters and rioters had no chance of getting what they wanted, what they were asking Congress to do was ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CONSTITUTIONAL.

Congressional certification of the Electoral College vote is NOT merely a formality. The Constitution very specifically empowers Congress to be the final check that an election was lawfully conducted. And it very specifically allows ANY member of Congress to object to ANY electors for ANY reason.

There were many valid reasons to challenge the legitimacy of the 2020 elections in at least seven states (Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, California, and New Jersey). And none of those reasons have anything to do with fraud or computers switching votes. Those elections were unconstitutionally conducted because the procedures, which were imposed under the guise of being necessary to protect people from COVID, were not authorized by law. And contrary to what the fake news has told you, some of it has been proven in court to have been illegal. But when the Supreme Court shamefully refused to hear any arguments about the unconstitutional election processes, Biden's inauguration was a fait accompli.

Congressional challenges to state-certified election results are nothing new. When Donald Trump won the 2016 election, Congressmen Jim McGovern (D-MA), Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Barbara Lee (D-CA), and Maxine Waters (D-CA) all objected to some of Trump's Electoral College votes. Had any Senators also objected, a vote would have been taken as to whether to accept or reject the contested Electoral College votes. And if both houses voted to reject them, the votes would not have been counted. THAT IS A FACT. AND IT WAS PERFECTLY CONSTITUTIONAL.

What's pathetic is that most people are completely unaware that even happened. Why? Because their Leftist overlords didn't spoon-feed them anger about it.

Had Congress refused to certify the election results sent to them by the states, the House of Representatives would have voted to select the President, and the Senate would have voted to select the Vice-President. That "Plan C" method is in our Constitution. Assuming representatives and senators voted along party lines, Trump/Pence would have been reelected.

It was constitutional when the Democrats objected to electors, and it was constitutional when the Republicans objected to electors. What blew it out of proportion were the idiot rioters, the propaganda press, and the bitterly partisan Congressional leadership.

The rioters were fools. And they were criminals. But as I said earlier, their demand was NOT unconstitutional. And what occurred that day was NOT an "insurrection. The reason the Democrats have been so eager to use that word is very sinister. They are using it to set up reasons to refuse to seat some Republicans who win in the 2022 elections.

Clause 3 of the 14th Amendment states, "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, SHALL HAVE ENGAGED IN INSURRECTION OR REBELLION AGAINST THE SAME, OR GIVEN AID AND COMFORT TO THE ENEMIES THEREOF. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

While this verbiage was included in the 14th Amendment to prevent Confederates of the Civil War from holding seats in Congress, Democrats will twist its meaning to include any Republican who did anything that can be called an "insurrection" or said anything in support of the protesters that can be called "aid and comfort" to insurrectionists.

I don't expect the Democrats to be successful in keeping anyone out of Congress based on that. But if Democrats are good at anything, they're good at bitter partisanship, lying, cheating, and weaponizing language to get their way. And it will score them a lot of political points among their dangerously destructive base.

The only reason the Democrats can get away with calling the January 6th riot an "insurrection" is because the activists posing as journalists in the so-called "news" media are amplifying that lie via their onslaught of fake news. It's disgraceful. And dangerous. Don't believe their lies.
