If Trump supporters actually wanted a coup or an insurrection, January 6th would've had a very different ending.

These "Bombshells" keep blowing up in the media's faces.

CBS should ask how Nancy Pelosi got so rich while in office!

[erybodyknows]

why we voted for him and why we will vote for him again if he runs.

[grfe]

saying Trump "refused" to stop a riot is like saying Biden "refused" to stop mass shootings. what a ridiculous statement.

The Capitol Police were unprepared and understaffed. Who was responsible for this? Why aren't they being investigated?

[BWealthyYouth]

Y’all should cover the damages that are still being suffered from the most peaceful blm riots

Why did Pelosi refuse Trumps order of 10k National Guard troops?

Thanks for my daily dose of democrat propaganda, SeeBS.

Scary part was when the Capital Police taking selfies with rioters. This entire thing is a joke.

Refused to stop ✋, he said peacefully protest.

[Spence]

How dare the president not put on riot gear and get out there to stop them.

A journalist job is to hold the powerful accountable. The Jan 6 committee doesn't even allow cross examination. Why can't CBS do it's job?

[feastonyourdread]

isn't it weird that this is still talked about more than recent events, crazy.

[MTSLINY]

Jan6 committee gets more ridiculous on a daily basis. What an embarrassment for themselves and this country

[Rnybro]

Who opened the Capitol doors? They lock from the inside.

I watched the video where President Trump got on Twitter and told the people “please go home, we don’t want violence “ when he saw what was going on. His Twitter account was canceled sometime after that.

[eaganwoodward]

Jesus they're repeating the same things thousands of times and expecting us to care

My second cousins aunt had a friend who her niece worked for Trump in the 90's and said he was planning the insurrection back then 🤪 😜

[ClockworkGearhead]

187 minute insurrection. I'm supposed to buy that?
In a country with more guns than people?
