Allow me to print a retraction.
Thank God for the likes of Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, and other Real News Journalists and Political Experts.
I now understand The Truth.
January 6, 2021, never happened.
There was no insurrection at the Capitol.
This didn’t happen:

Nor did this happen:

Nor this, this, this, or these:
This Proud Boy Asshole isn’t dressed for battle, isn’t carrying a baseball bat, and isn’t carrying a spray can with his thumb on the trigger:

And all of the cops who gave first-hand accounts of being attacked are liars:
“It was just chaos, pure chaos,” Officer Christina Laury said.
Laury, a six-year veteran of the force, was assigned to the west side of the Capitol.
“I remember people swinging metal poles at us,” she said. “They were pushing and shoving. They were spraying us with bear mace and pepper spray.”
Ironically, I was being beaten with a thin blue line flag.
Officer Mike Fanone
Officer Mike Fanone is recovering from a mild heart attack suffered during the riot.
“I got grabbed by rioters, kind of pulled out from the threshold, separated from the other officers,” he said. “I’m now assaulted from all sides. I was struck with a taser a number of times.”
‘I Suffered a Heart Attack’: DC Officers Describe Defending the Capitol on the Front LineD.C. Police Officer Mike Fanone and Officer Christina Laury describe how they confronted pro-Trump rioters at the U.S. Capitol. Fanone is currently recovering from a mild heart attack he suffered during the attack.
A narcotics officer and 18-year veteran of the force, Fanone described the scene as “brutal, medieval-style combat.”
“I guess there was a black and white photo that was taken,” he said. “Ironically, I was being beaten with a thin blue line flag.”
“Guys were, like, grabbing at my gear,” he said. “I had my badge ripped off, my radio was ripped off, one of my ammunition magazines was stripped from my belt. And guys were trying to take my gun and chanting, ‘Kill him with his own gun.’”
And all of these photos posted on NBC News were staged by the cops, U.S. Congressmen, U.S. Senators, and The Fake News:










Neither did this happen:

“They were calling us traitors, shouting at us, telling us to remember our oath, and eventually, they attacked us,” Officer Daniel Hodges said.
Hodges, a patrol officer for six years, was crushed in a doorway.
“At that moment in the hallway where I was pinned, I was there to do my best to keep them out, obviously, and the way I was doing that was with my body,” he said. “Unfortunately, at that moment, my arms were pinned. I was unable to defend myself.”
Someone ripped off his mask.
“He was also able to rip away my baton and he beat me in the head with it,” Hodges said.
“I’m glad that video’s going around, because it shows people that we absolutely fought tooth and nail to keep the Capitol safe, to keep our congressmen safe and keep them out,” he said.

And neither did this.

Apparently, I was allowed to believe things that weren’t true.
Kumbaya, baby.
Don’t confuse me with the facts.
And so goes your average, Trump-supporting, cop. And their “supporters” too.
That’s called, “conditional truth.” It’s a lot like “situational ethics.”
P.S.
This didn’t happen fifty years ago, either:
