Deconstructing the Mythology of January 6

 The certification of electoral votes at the House will be a looming civic impasse in the aftermath of the 2024 election. The rhetorical interpretation of January 6, 2021, stands as a profound point of misunderstanding. The deliberate misrepresentation of events surrounding January 6 was the primary pretext to the longstanding argument against Trump's election, suggesting he is a "threat to democracy." The mythology of January 6 is an incredible story of the power of this misguided epistemology. Kamala Harris chose to build her closing argument for election upon the D.C. space where President Trump urged followers to "peacefully and patriotically" have their voices heard at the Capitol.

The only elected political figure to call for violence on January 6, 2021, was Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. On that day, she said: “I hope he comes, I want to punch him out. This is my moment. I want to punch him out, and I'm going to go to jail, and I'm going to be happy.” Trump never came to the Capitol grounds but Pelosi broadcast her violent appeals for brutalizing the President of the United States to television cameras that day. Her brutish rhetoric fit well with her antagonism of tearing up a copy of the President’s State of the Union Message a year before— again before congressional members and on live television.

Another major advocate for violence at the capitol on January 6 was Jayden X, his real name Jonathan Sullivan. As a left-wing activist, he made a name for himself in the George Floyd protest era of 2020 but made a specific purpose of misleading Trump supporters inside the capitol that he was on their side. He urged them to burn down the Capitol and incite them to violence. His incitements undoubtedly contributed to the killing of Ashli Babbit, which Sullivan filmed and sold the snuff film for more than $90,000 to major media outlets such as NBC.

On the one year anniversary in 2022, President Biden lied to the American people and said in a major presidential speech that a police officer, William Evans, was killed on January 6, when, in fact, that officer was killed in April 2021 by another radical Left activist inspired by the Nation of Islam. Here again, the blue privilege of telling false narratives about the deaths of police officers is reserved to high partisans of anti-Republicans such as President Biden and Kamala Harris.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was not held to account for her calls for violence on January 6, and instigated one of the most important epistemological tomes on the matter—the January 6 House Select Committee. In defiance of House rules, Pelosi refused to allow congressional members appointed from the Republican leadership on the investigative committee. Trump advisor Steve Bannon was sent to prison for refusing to testify before the illegitimate committee.

The coverup of January 6 is consistent with Pelosi's own assessment that she was herself responsible for the lack of security. Full responsibility would require a balanced and comprehensive congressional investigation of January 6, understanding why President Trump's fundamental and key recommendation to place National Guard troops at the Capitol was not implemented is an important point of inquiry.
