From blaming Antifa to calling it a “peaceful protest,” here’s a rundown of some of the false narratives about January 6 and the Republican lawmakers who have been spreading them.

Washington When the House Select Committee investigating the events of January 6 convenes for the first time, it will be against a backdrop of Republican objections and falsehoods.

After House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected two of Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's picks to serve on the committee, leading McCarthy to pull his five GOP members from the committee, several Republicans have characterized the investigation as a partisan attack, attempting to cast the narrative in their favor much like many of their colleagues have tried to do about January 6 itself.

GOP may as well be saying it was illegal aliens that invaded the WH.

You can plainly see that all those white ppl with Trump flags and maga hats and shirts are not ANTIFA OR BLM

Can not understand WHY the Republican senate and trump can not be SUED FOR DEFAMATION AND BE FORCED TO PROVE THEIR ACCUSATIONS . Must be that there is a unwritten Law that ex-potus and senators can not be charged

January 6th is the best thing to happen to the left. It’s literally the only example of violence from the Trump movement. 100’s of examples from the left. The left will harp on this for the next 3 years or beyond.

Defund BLM and antifa

. What really happened in Washington - says the Polish historian and political scientist. I wrote on my blog:

. I'm a blogger. A few words about Donald Trump:

MSM make up history

Let’s hear about the liberal riots from all last summer and through this yr.

It is impossible for them to do successfully because every step is all on worldwide media record for ever.

1/6 was not an insurrection.

No offence, but does anyone actually listen to CNN news anymore? It’s so one sided, it’s not even on a slant anymore, it’s just straight up blurred.

We’re blaming antifa because it was ANTIFA who incited the vandalism and violence. I saw it with my own eyes. Other than that, it was a peaceful protest. Also why did the cops open the Capitol gates? Also, who gave the order to stop counting votes in the battleground states?

CNN had live videoing of riots in the summer of 2020 and called them mostly peaceful as buildings and cats burn in the background.

Was it a love fest or riots from Antifa? Can’t have it both ways

Maybe shooting others is peaceful too

Nice try

We need to recognize this for what it was attempted mass murder of elected officials. I watched the insurrection live time so no doubt in my mind they were looking for people to murder. The police stopped them. Trump & some GOP members encouraged them and are criminally liable.

Trump makes a better anime villain then a president. And even as anime villains go he is on the low end of that list.

“several Republicans have characterized the investigation as a partisan attack.” ironic since January6th was a partisan attack on our capitol.

CNN Fact Check 🤡🤡🤡🤡

No fire 🔥 no peaceful protest

Next, Republicans will demand the Capitol Police have a day’s pay taken away for “allowing” the breach, desperate to keep deflecting blame from the real perpetrators.

Now do BLM riots.

Health care for all Student debt relief Police reform Affordable housing Reparations for descendants of slaves There are so many issues that need attention but all corporate media cares about is Trump.

Reading this from my car and I’m so mad!!! I have to read it from my car because I got evicted. Thank you for talking more about January 6 than the eviction moratorium, we the people Are really worried about that

Trump won that's a fact

Can we just talk about how the 1/6 riot is being used by politicians to expand the PATRIOT Act to increase the state's spying powers on regular Americans? Everyone from all sides should freak out over That just as much as the 1/6 riot.

How does one not support anti-fascism?

“Falso narratives..” coming from CNN the king of these! 🤣🤣🤣

More importantly why is this happening right NOW? Mission Texas border crossing, few children now, over 150 countries.

Just listen to my hero Mark Levin on life liberty and Levin.Every person In north America that can read his book should read his book and every American should listen to what he’s got to say except for useless and dirty Democrats.Wake up America save our freedom and our beautiful

They are LIES ... not 'false narratives'! Stop soft-peddling treason!

Wrong!

Zzzzzz zzzzzzz zzzzzz

CNN and there “ fact checking “. When I see those words on CNN I smh.

👇👇 Again, a civil war begins between the Northern & Southern states of the US, the political corrupt leadership of the Democrats, and Great Britain sends troops to suppress the uprising in the US, but again it is defeated and finally separated from Europe

The american people know the truth and it doesn't come from cnn

It's not a 'false narrative', it's lies told by traitors and those who supported them.

Some Republicans will do anything to fictionalize the 2020 election. The latest conservative fairytale I heard was that false mail-in ballots put Biden over the top. Biden’s lead was so convincing even stuffing the ballot boxes or machines couldn’t help Trump.

Compared to this shit January 6th was like jay walking.

How are your ratings?

Fake and false CNN news at it again

I just made a successful trade with Alexcoop25. I usually see a lot of great and prestigious comments on how effective he operate. Then I reluctantly give it a try he is really transparent because it worked as planned, I'm really excited and still hoping for more profits.

The 6th was more peaceful than anything that happened during the blm riots.

Most time having knowledge or insight about a particular activity can as well be pleasing exercise. I can boldly say that forex and crypto trading is one of the profitable money exchange service that elevates investors and their financial status. DM Alexcoop25 to get started.

Yet you guys reported on literally cities being burned down and looted and called them peaceful... You're not a news source anymore, you've become a politically biased propaganda machine.

It is like Jesus was born on 25 Dec! The Government Uses religion to control! even though Religion has Proved it is wrong along with Science! But control of the masses is the point! even back to Constantine

Within the context of notmypresident for four years and Dems being willing to falsely accuse a SCOTUS of gang rape, it makes a lot more sense.

Good coverage. Now do the riots.

These Republicans are no different than those who claim the Holocaust never happened.

CommunistPropaganda CommunistNewsNetwork Evil

The memes about peaceful protest make themselves. Tell us CNN, was it more than a mostly peaceful protest?

Does anyone actually believe a CNN 'fact check'?

God you people are desperate

, FakeNews & TheDemocrats are still trying to blame PresidentTrump for all their Failures, even if they have to make it up

THEY HAVE STARTED A KILLING SPREE IN EARNEST HERE AFTER WOMEN GOT THE UPPER HAND OVER THE MEN THAT HAD MURDERED THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS...

Maybe repost the story about Trump trying to enlist the DOJ in election fraud/soft coup. CNN blew right through it. Never even a main headline, off the homepage in a day while week old stories about covid denial etc remain. It should by all rights be a historic scandal.

Fk u Ass Media

Why not focus on why the capital police didn’t do their job

CNN the fake news network has no right to do any kind of 'fact checking'. FAKE NEWS

Bottom line , it's a republican insurrection period, now your trying to cover it up , the majority of Americans and the world know the truth

And the reason we have anarchists, BLM, Antifa doing most of the disturbances is not racism when there is more equality then ever but rather their brains twisted by the leftist media, leftist politicians, and leftist schools with their nonstop day and night race card playing

Why you cover the attack on the federal building with this vigor? Because it didn’t fit your narrative. Anyone with a brain see through the bullshit. Both were a disgrace and wrong but only 1 is covered my the media and condemned by Democrats

Never trust CNN

CNN did you mention “fact check”. That's hilarious.

Russia must look at us today and Lmao all day everyday.

You know it’s almost like our country has become one big crazy Sunday morning infomercials and the My Pillow Guy is leading the way with his orange 🍊 turd 💩 of a buddy. Why the pillow guy is at the front is just insane.

Nobody gives a fk! ✊🏿

Explain the standard. Burning down police precinct is “mostly peaceful” but grandmas walking through capitol building with no weapons is a coup.

This might be hard for some to comprehend but saying all the people who showed up on Jan 6 are insurgents is the same as saying all Muslims are terrorist. It’s dangerous and dishonest. Everything is reported as 1vs2, race vs race, dem vs rep, etc . 👀

Fact checking claims January 6 was not an armed insurrectionFacts First: While it's impossible to know precisely how many firearms were brought to the Capitol on January 6, it's already clear that at least some of the people present were carrying guns that day. People who need fact checkers to tell them what is fact or fiction, are not interested in facts. They just want to be told something that fits their bias. Fucking kangaroo court here. Making serious mountains out of absolute molehills. Shit was not an insurrection. Shit, Black Friday 2018 was far more chaotic than this. Half the city of Long Beach lay in ruin last year because of dumbassery and nothing happened. But this? Really? I mean yeah, they were there to kill…
