Trump’s Defense of Capitol Rioters
Former President Trump labeled his supporters involved in the January 6 Capitol riot as “warriors” during a Nevada rally. He claimed they were victims protesting a rigged election, despite the violence that ensued.
Unraveling the Delusion
The idea of peaceful warriors and victimized rioters is fundamentally flawed. Trump’s narrative of a setup and police complicity contradicts evidence of chaos and violence during the riot.
