Donald Trump has finally got it right about the January 6th insurrectionists

Here is a thought experiment. Attempt to put politics and the presidential race out of your thoughts and provides Donald Trump the advantage of the doubt concerning the assault on the Capitol on January sixth 2021. Settle for that he believed the election was stolen and that he meant it when he advised the group that day to march from the White Home to Capitol Hill “peacefully and patriotically”. Settle for that he believed none of his supporters was carrying weapons or meant violence of any kind. Settle for that he has since come to conclude, as he has claimed, that Nancy Pelosi, then the speaker of the Home, one way or the other “induced” the violence, that the police “ushered in” the group, that they have been “a loving crowd”, certainly, “patriots” who’ve since turn into not simply “victims” however even “hostages” of a weaponised system of justice.

Then ask your self this: after embracing all of these assumptions and assertions, why would you rejoice the rioters as “warriors”, as Mr Trump did throughout a rally earlier this month?
