To which I'd like to add, that it is similarly a lie to say that the January 6, 2020 violent insurrection and assault on the Capitol and on the US Constitution as incited by the ex-president, was \"ORDINARY CITIZENS ENGAGED IN LEGITIMATE POLITICAL DISCOURSE,\" as the Republican National Committee tried to claim.<\/p>\n
