Judge Appointed by Reagan Raises Alarm Over Nation’s Safety Amidst False Rhetoric Surrounding the 1/6 Attack

Reimagining the Impact of the January 6 Attack on the Capitol

The Truth Behind the January 6 Attack

Despite attempts to downplay it, the events of January 6, 2021, continue to reverberate. While some MAGA supporters deflect blame onto Antifa or the FBI, the reality is that MAGA Republicans instigated the violent assault on the Capitol building, its defenders, and the elected officials inside, who were there to certify Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.

A Warning from Judge Royce Lamberth

Even Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee to the bench, recognizes the danger of perpetuating false narratives about the attack. In a public court filing, Lamberth expressed his concern about the widespread dissemination of baseless justifications for criminal behavior.

Lamberth wrote, “I have been shocked to watch some public figures try to rewrite history, claiming rioters behaved ‘in an orderly fashion’ like ordinary tourists, or martyrizing convicted January 6 defendants as ‘political prisoners’ or even, incredibly, ‘hostages.’ That is all preposterous. But the Court fears that such destructive, misguided rhetoric could presage further danger to our country.”

False Rhetoric and Its Ongoing Danger

Judge Lamberth’s remarks highlight the prevalence of false rhetoric surrounding the January 6 attack. This misinformation, perpetuated by political leaders, not only downplays the seriousness of the events but also poses a continued threat to our nation’s well-being.

Speaking the Truth

As more high-profile individuals like Judge Lamberth speak out about the true nature of January 6, it is our hope that others will follow suit. The truth must prevail in order to prevent further harm to our democracy.
