An Undistorted View Of January 6, 2021
📌Trump did not incite any violence
📌Trump behaved atrociously after the protesters stormed the Capitol and turned violent
📌Democrats and the media concocted a false "insurrection" narrative by blaming unrelated deaths on Capitol rioting

There's a reason most Americans may never get an undistorted version of the history of that day. The minute-by-minute timeline of events is critical for an accurate understanding of what really transpired that day. And no prominent voice seems both willing and able to provide it.

So much happened on January 6, 2021, that with the slightest partisan inclination or bias toward one player or another, any historian can write a deeply heartfelt objective account of that day which will still be completely misleading, if you skip over just a few crucial details.

A true account of that day will be hard to come by because a true account would reflect poorly on the entire leadership of the nation -- GOP, Democrats, media, intelligence agencies, Capitol police, DC governance. Everyone was culpable. Everyone should hang their head in shame.

Of the five deaths commonly blamed on the riot, only one, that of 35-year-old U.S. Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt who was shot by a Capitol Police Officer, has been ruled a homicide.

The other four deaths weren’t the result of any injury sustained during the battle between protesters and law enforcement officials.

Benjamin Phillips and Kevin Greeson died of natural causes, a medical examiner ruled in April.

Rosanne Boyland, who initial reports claimed had been crushed to death by the pro-Trump mob, died from a drug overdose.

And Capitol Hill Police Officer Brian Sicknick, whose death was originally attributed to “injuries suffered during the riot,” suffered two strokes after the protest and died of natural causes, Francisco Diaz, the chief medical examiner in Washington, D.C., announced.
