Trump's White House Website Claims Jan. 6 Was 'Right'
Trump's White House website praises Jan. 6 attack, blames others, but a pardoned rioter says it was wrong.
More details:
🧩 Simple Version: What Happened?
The White House, led by President Trump, just launched a special website! This website talks all about the big protest on January 6, 2021, at the Capitol building. It says that what happened that day was good and that the people who went there were "patriotic citizens."
It also says that Democrats were wrong for calling the event a problem and that President Trump was right to pardon many people who were charged with crimes from that day. They say these people were "viciously overcharged."
🚨 How Fox Would Spin It (Wacky Version!)
"BREAKING NEWS! Folks, you won't BELIEVE this! The White House just dropped a TRUTH BOMB! They're finally showing how the Deep State, with their fake news buddies, tried to turn good, freedom-loving patriots into 'insurrectionists'! But don't you worry! President Trump is here to FIX IT ALL! He's a hero for pardoning those innocent people who were just peacefully visiting the Capitol. It was ALL a setup by the angry Democrats who cheated in the election! SAD!"
See? It's like they're saying everyone else is wrong and only their side is right, turning everything into a big dramatic show!
🌿 DeFoxed Reality Check: What Really Happened?
Okay, let's take a deep breath and look at the facts. On January 6, 2021, a big crowd went to the U.S. Capitol building. President Trump had told them the election was stolen and directed them to march there. Many people entered the building, and it became very chaotic and scary.
People were hurt, property was damaged, and lawmakers had to hide. Even though the new White House website claims it was "peaceful," there are lots of videos and photos that show it was not. Many people involved were charged with serious crimes.
Here's a super interesting part: One person who was pardoned by President Trump, named Pamela Hemphill (sometimes called "MAGA Granny"), actually rejected her pardon! She said, "I knew what I did was wrong. I pleaded guilty to my crimes because I did the crime." She also said she *was not* denied fairness and apologized to the Capitol Police.
Also, a report from the House Judiciary Committee found that 23 people pardoned by Trump for Jan. 6 crimes later committed more crimes, like violent assault or plotting. So, saying everyone was "patriotic citizens" who were "overcharged" doesn't quite match up with what actually happened or what some of those pardoned have done.
