Plus, Ari Melber even welcomes those who admit planning activities on January 6th on his show so we get to hear them as well. Not that he agrees with them and he frequently argues, but he lets them have their say, and they appear to welcome the opportunity.

He had those on who planned to overturn the election results and gave them an opportunity to air their grievances over the appearance of the out-of-control mob which actually put an end to their carefully constructed plans!

The Capitol police fought with their lives on the line to prevent Congress from being taken hostage or worse, people were killed, and then they say they had nothing to do with the mob, and I call bullshit. What happened is yet another scheme failed. And because there could be felony murder charges, they had nothing to do with that part of the coup.

The whole mob thing was designed to appear to be a populist uprising to prevent criminal charges for the planners.

The mob was an amalgam of anti-socialists, trumpsters, and misguided evangelicals. The ones we should be hunting are the messengers and the biased opinionizers that fanned this insurrection. Carlson, Hannity, and a few more, very high profile influencers supported the lie....thus amplifying it.
