Despite the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol being one of the most well-documented and studied political events in recent years, former President Donald Trump is still trying to rewrite history about that day.
While speaking to the news media Thursday outside his Mar-a-Lago club and residence in Florida, the likely Republican presidential nominee rattled off an impressive number of lies about the deadly riot by Trump supporters in a matter of minutes.
One of the most easily disproved bits of fiction he threw out is that “there were no guns” among the rioters. In reality, multiple people who stormed the Capitol were carrying firearms. Rioters have admitted to this in court and been given heavy prison sentences.
This is a lie Trump has peddled before, going so far as to call the riot “completely unarmed” despite attackers carrying guns, knives, baseball bats and chemical weapons that day.
Trump used that falsehood Thursday to denounce Capitol police officers for taking action against the mob.
