US Capitol Riot Anniversary Marked by White House's Provocative Page on Democrats, Pence
As the US marks five years since the January 6th storming of the Capitol, the White House has chosen to commemorate the occasion with a page that appears to be more aimed at deflecting criticism than acknowledging the violence and chaos that unfolded. The webpage, which went live on Tuesday, offers a contentious narrative that portrays Democrats as having staged an "insurrection" while demonizing their own role in certifying the 2020 presidential election results.
According to the White House's page, it was actually Democratic politicians who "masterfully reversed reality" to place President Joe Biden in the Oval Office. The document also accuses former Vice President Mike Pence of being complicit in a plot to undermine democracy by failing to return disputed electoral slates to state legislatures for review and decertification.
The White House has been accused of gaslighting the narrative, portraying Democrats as having perpetuated an "insurrection" that was aimed at silencing opposition and distracting from their own role in undermining democracy. The page also specifically targets Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd, who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt on January 6th, claiming that he faced no charges due to a lack of evidence.
The White House's provocative page has been met with widespread criticism from Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In response, Pelosi called the riots an "attempted coup" and praised the courage of public servants who stood up against pressure, threats, or intimidation.
As the US continues to grapple with the aftermath of the January 6th riot, it remains unclear what the White House's true intentions are in releasing this page. One thing is clear: the narrative surrounding that day has been contentious and complex, with multiple factions vying for control of the narrative.

. Trying to spin Democrats as the aggressors on January 6th? Come on! It's like they're trying to rewrite history 
. The fact that Pence was involved in certifying those electoral slates doesn't necessarily mean he was complicit in an insurrection, it just means he followed procedure 
. And Byrd, a hero who risked his life to protect the Capitol, gets demonized for not following an unorthodox procedure? Not buying it 
. This page is more about deflecting accountability than acknowledging the truth about what happened on January 6th. Mark my words, this will only fuel further divisiveness and erosion of trust in our institutions 
.
meanwhile, we all no that trump's crew was the one who caused all the chaos at the capitol back in 2021 
it's just so shady how they're tryin to gaslight ppl into thinkin democrats r the ones who "insurrected" the country 
at least he had the decency to turn himself in for his role in tryin to overthrow the government 
i'm lowkey impressed by nancy pelosi's response tho - she straight-up called out the white house for their BS 
White House page comes off super aggressive & trying to deflect all responsibility... kinda weird that they're focusing on Democrats instead of acknowledging their own role in certifying those election results... 
still got a lot of unanswered questions about what actually happened on Jan 6th... and why it's so hard to get an accurate narrative... 
They're trying to rewrite history and shift the blame onto Democrats when we all know that January 6th was a violent attack on our democracy by a mob of Trump supporters. And now they're painting Democrats as the aggressors? Give me a break! 
It's like, come on guys, own up to your own role in perpetuating this mess and stop trying to divide us further. 
This is just another example of how politics has become so toxic in this country 
... can't we just have a civil conversation without all the drama and backroom deals? 
Oh man, I gotta say, the White House is really good at turning a serious event like the Capitol riot into a game of "Who Can Blame Whom Most" 
. And what's with the snipe at Mike Pence - didn't he do enough already being VP? 
. It's just so rich that they're trying to shift the blame onto Democrats now 
. I think this whole thing is still super weird and the White House is trying to stir up drama where there shouldn't be any 
Either way, I'm not buying it 
It's like, can't we have a more nuanced discussion about what happened on Jan 6th? 
Anyway, it's definitely got me talking (and disagreeing with myself) 
newsflash: they RNT 
like who tries to certify electoral results and then claims it was a setup 
so many ppl feel his pain
