5 Years Ago: Were We Played?
How has the Left’s narrative surrounding January 6th 2021 begun to crack?
On this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words,” Hanson explains how branding January 6 an “insurrection” drove impeachment efforts, investigations and years of specifically framed media coverage. He also examines the arrest and confession of Brian Cole Jr., the alleged January 6 pipe bomber, and why the delayed investigation and lingering questions surrounding his background cast doubt on many of the conclusions Americans were first told to accept.
“ We never got the honest story. So, that begs the question, why? Why didn’t they just come out and say, “Here’s all the information”? And the reason is, they wanted to cement a narrative in everybody’s mind that a reckless demonstration that turned into a riot was a pre-planned insurrection by Donald Trump, who ordered it, and therefore, should forfeit his political career, and he should never be allowed to run for office.”
