    Trump was in charge on J6. The failure to crack down then, is in part due to Trump intentionally not cracking down. I would compare this to the heavy handed crackdown on the DC Black Lives Matter protesters. You know, the one where he heals a Bible upside down. That was a violent crackdown on mostly peaceful protestors.

      Fair points.

      Side note just in case it saves you from a gotcha in arguing with a Maga nutjob, but Trump didn’t hold the Bible upside down that day, per NYT, Politifact, and other fact checkers. He’s still a useless piece of shit.

        I’ve watched the video many times. He ultimately gets it right, but clearly fumbles with it upside down as though it was a completely novel object.
