With Trump moving closer to renomination, rewriting Jan. 6 attack gains urgency – The Washington Post

…another op-ed I read this morning that I thought was worth sharing:

A large number of Trump supporters make their way up Constitution Avenue en route to the U.S. Capitol after President Donald Trump gave a speech at the Ellipse and encouraged them to march on Jan. 6, 2021. (Michael S. Williamson/The Washington Post)

“…everything about what unfolded on Jan. 6, 2021, implicates the cultural leader of the Republican Party — and because pretending that a mystery exists benefits him — we approach the third anniversary of that day with renewed efforts to rewrite its history.

“What Trump is doing now, 340-odd days before the 2024 general election, is amplifying self-serving falsehoods and finding a hungry audience for them. This is also precisely what he was doing in the weeks before the Capitol riot.”
