Trump’s legal team also tried to throw cold water on the idea in a filing earlier this week, writing that the “events of January 6 were not an ‘insurrection’ as they did not involve an organized attempt to overthrow or resist the U.S. government.”

Trump disagrees, apparently.

“They kept saying about what I said right after the insurrection,” he said outside Mar-a-Lago after arguments concluded in Washington, D.C. “I think it was an insurrection caused by Nancy Pelosi.

        I know this is nothing remotely new, but I feel like it’s justified to keep repeating it:

        US elections is a shitshow.

          I really thought in 2016 Bernie would splinter the democrats and we’d have a true left party. I also thought trump would create a new party on the right and the republicans would go back to being republicans. Can you imagine a 4 party system!

          To my surprise, the trump dragged the republicans even further to the right, and the democrats moved even more center-right to appease ex-republicans. So the whole nation just moved right, which is sad.

    So the people who were Antifa and MAGA patriots who went to the Capital to peacefully cause an insurrection that was and wasn’t a false flag setup by the FBI and “globalists” and are going to prison because of the actions they did and didn’t do on Jan 6 were all being led by… Pelosi?

        No need to keep track, just say whatever you want to say in the moment. Your followers don’t care and the media certainly isn’t going to call you on it.

    That’s RIGHT! January 6th was OBVIOUSLY an Insurrection plotted by Nancy Pelosi to send FBI and Antifa into the Capitol to STOP the certification of their chosen Candidate because that’s the ONLY way to make Grab Her By The Pussy look BAD! But it also WASN’T an Insurrection and all those people in jail are PRISONERS OF WAR that need to be released! Unless they are Antifa or FBI which they AREN’T even though it was ONLY FBI and Antifa committing the Insurrection that was NOT an Insurrection!
