About the “armed mob” narrative.

First, Capitol Hill was crawling with undercover agents from numerous law enforcement agencies including Capitol police and DC Metro.

Second, it’s not the president’s job to protect DC. That primarily falls to mayor of DC, who rejected…

extra guardsmen on January 6, a decision the J6 committee hasn’t explored.

Third, only 2 men associated with the protest on J6 were arrested that night for possession of firearms. One left ammo in his truck and another was arrested at night near Capitol grounds.

The only…

person who had a gun and used it that day was Michael Byrd, the Capitol cop who executed Ashli Babbitt. The committee has never mentioned her name.

There is zero evidence of anyone, let alone a Trump supporter, carrying a rifle especially an AR-15 on Jan 6.

If what…

Hutchinson said is true, police on the ground including Secret Service are to blame. They allowed the president to speak in a public venue filled with hundreds or thousands of people without adequate protection.

I’ve seen no video, photos, or evidence in DOJ filings this is true

Further, Trump supporters brought things to defend themselves bc they were assaulted throughout 2020 in DC, including Stop the Steal rallies in November and December.

Anyone who knew of “armed” agitators in DC before Trump took the stage at the Ellipse and did nothing is…

complicit in allowing an attempted attack against the sitting US president and every lawmaker in that building on January 6.

If true, we’d hear screams from AOC and those who said their lives were in danger.

But we haven’t. And we know why.
