"JEN PSAKI: Today, of course, marks the fifth anniversary of the January 6th siege on the U.S. Capitol, the worst attack on our nation's capital in more than 200 years. And it's worth remembering what prompted that attack. Trump's fragile ego, his uncontrollable urge to hold on to power and stay in the limelight. That's the reason he whipped up his supporters into a frenzy that day with no concern for what the consequences of that decision would be."
"Special counsel Jack Smith told Congress last month the January 6 attack does not happen without Donald Trump. And Trump's addiction to power is why January 6 happened, and why he has never been able to let it go. It's why today, the administration unveiled an official White House web page selling a completely fabricated revisionist history about that day."
A White House webpage unveiled on the fifth anniversary of the January 6 attack presents a fabricated, revisionist account that praises rioters as patriots and blames Democrats and police for the violence. The site accuses the vice president of cowardice and sabotage and falsely blames then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for security failures. The release provoked immediate widespread outrage over falsehoods, omissions, and concoctions. Legal findings assert the attack would not have occurred without Donald Trump, and many rioters received pardons or commutations. Critics attribute the attack to Trump's desire to retain power and his inflammatory rhetoric that energized supporters without regard for consequences.
