Roy Blunt LIED about the election and helped Trump incite a terrorist attack

And today @FaceTheNation let him lie about it again. @margbrennan did not ask him ONCE about how he refused to acknowledge Biden as pres-elect

This is Fox News level propaganda on a major news network

For WEEKS after the election, Blunt refused to say Biden won. He spread the conspiracy theory that election was stolen. This lie led directly to Wednesday's attack

This was not even MENTIONED by @margbrennan. Instead Blunt was allowed to lie and say he had nothing to do with it

Worth noting that on Wednesday @CBSNews prohibited its journalists from calling the terrorist attack a terrorist attack or even an insurrection. They protected the pro-Trump mob and censored their journalists from telling the truth. A clear pattern of helping to rehab Republicans

This is nothing but an overt attempt by @CBSNews and @FaceTheNation to rewrite history. On Nov. 29 Blunt was on CNN declining repeatedly to call Biden president-elect. He was an accomplice of this Republican lie that led to an attack. And not one question on it. Not a single one

At the very least, a competent journalist would ask "do you regret helping Trump push the conspiracy theory that he won in a landslide, not Biden?" Instead @margbrennan asked Blunt what we can do moving forward as if he is a victim of this and not a willing perpetrator

Anyone writing about Republicans whining about getting "censored" in media should immediately point out that not only are today's news shows peppered with Republicans, but they're allowing the Republicans who spread voter fraud lies to move on to their next lie seamlessly

It’s an incredible Sunday when @chucktodd is not the worst possum platforming a Republican conspiracy theorist on a major network news show
