Trump's continuing effort to downplay Jan. 6 violence as 'day of love'
Monday marks the fourth anniversary of the violent events of Jan. 6, 2021 -- a day President-elect Donald Trump has continually tried to recast as a "day of love."
Summary
On the fourth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack, Donald Trump continued to downplay the violence, calling it a "day of love" and pledging to pardon many convicted rioters.
Trump reiterated false claims about the 2020 election and criticized Mike Pence for certifying results.
President Biden countered in an op-ed, emphasizing the importance of preserving the truth about Jan. 6 as a violent assault on democracy.
Over 1,600 individuals have faced charges for the riot, with 608 charged for attacking law enforcement.

Like 2 inches away from a very different timeline. Why the fuck did that guy have to miss?
Not sure how much it would have changed... could have been that he would become a martyr and the maga crows would only rally more around Vance or whoever came next :/
Good point
Don't let perfection get in the way of progress.
