https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/06/trump-january-6-remarks-00712597President Donald Trump continued to deny responsibility for the violent Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection on the fifth anniversary of the riot, launching a White House webpage trying to reframe history and giving a speech to House Republicans blaming his political opponents and the media for the attack.Trump’s actions Tuesday — which came during a broader address during House Republicans’ daylong retreat in Washington — are part of a yearslong pattern of the president downplaying his supporters’ attempt to stop the certification of his 2020 election loss.Trump on Tuesday accused then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of being at fault for much of the fallout and said that the media hadn’t accurately reported statements he made before Congress voted to ultimately certify his 2020 election loss.“Do you know that the news never reported the words walk or march peacefully and patriotically to the Capitol?” the president said. “Do you know that they never reported it? It’s a scandal.”Also on Tuesday, the White House launched a website that accused Democrats of going after “innocent Americans,” silencing opponents and distracting “from their own role in undermining Democracy.” Pelosi’s face is emblazoned at the top of the site, along with members of the House Jan. 6 committee, including Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) and former Rep. Liz Cheney. Trump’s opponents, the website claimed, had “masterfully reversed reality after January 6.”“In truth, it was the Democrats who staged the real insurrection by certifying a fraud-ridden election, ignoring widespread irregularities, and weaponizing federal agencies to hunt down dissenters, all while Pelosi’s own security lapses invited the chaos they later exploited to seize and consolidate power,” the White House wrote.
Trump is suing the British Broadcasting Corporation for billions over what he says was a deliberately misleading edit of the speech he gave on the Ellipse the day of the Capitol riot, which is also referenced on the webpage.The president gave his remarks at the Kennedy Center, whose Trump-appointed board recently voted to rename as the Trump Kennedy Center.Trump was eventually charged for his actions leading up to the riot, but the charges were ultimately dropped following his November 2024 reelection. He issued sweeping pardons for roughly 1,500 people who stormed the Capitol hours after taking the oath of office in January.On Tuesday, Trump shifted the responsibility for the violence back to Pelosi, whom he and other Republicans have blamed for not adequately preparing law enforcement to protect the Capitol and its staff ahead of the election certification.“They never reported that Nancy Pelosi was offered 10,000 soldiers, National Guard soldiers, whatever you want,” he said, before imitating the outgoing California lawmaker. “‘No, I don’t want them.”Ian Krager, a spokesperson for Pelosi, said in a statement that “ongoing attempts to whitewash the deadly insurrection are shameful, unpatriotic, and pathetic.”“Numerous independent fact-checkers have confirmed again and again that Speaker Pelosi did not plan her own assassination on January 6th,” he said. “Cherry-picked, out-of-context clips do not change the fact that the Speaker of the House is not in charge of the security of the Capitol Complex — on January 6th or any other day of the week.”
>>1472481>Milley: “The President just says, ‘Hey, look at this. There’s going to be a large amount of protestors here on the 6th, make sure that you have sufficient National Guard or Soldiers to make sure it’s a safe event.’… [POTUS said] I don’t care if you use Guard, or Soldiers, active duty Soldiers, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it’s safe.' [SecDef] Miller responds by saying, 'Hey, we’ve got a plan, and we’ve got it covered.'”
>>1472483>SafeFor the coup terrorists
>>1472484Oh yes, tell me more how what Trump REALLLLLYYY meant was for the National Guard to help the rioters riot even more - and how that keeps them safe. Go ahead, elaborate.
>>1472490Where do you people get this shit from?
Stand back, and stand by....for the Midterm Massacre: the real political coup against TrumpWhat's that you say, MAGAts? You'll fix the midterms? In that case, it's more than legal for the Democrats to fix the midterms & 2028
>>1472491Typical. Can't answer the question.
>>1472481They're really leaning into>Actually 1/6 was a democrat hoax and everyone there were agitators >But we're also pardoning everyone there because they were actually innocent patriots
>>1472490Yes, that's how a coup works, and when it was clear the military wouldn't back his coup he had his loyalists delay their defense of the capital.Your attempts to re-write history is betrayed simply by the footage trump terrorists attacking the capital and all the officers injured and killed defending it from the trump terrorists
>>1472496Libtard fanfiction is wild
>>1472496>yeesss YEEEEESSSS my evil mastermind plan of keeping people safe and alive is nearly complete! Soon I will turn this democracy into my own dictatorship!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHADemocrats actually believe this.
>>1472504>>1472506>Ignores the thread picSeems very safe to me.
Democucks having a candlelight vigil is hilarious and shows you just how pathetic they are
>>1472507>ignores the part where Trump asked for more troops the night before
>>1472531>On January 2, 2021, during an hour-long conference call, U.S. president Donald Trump pressured Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger to "find 11,780 votes" and overturn the U.S. election results from the 2020 presidential election
>>1472531>Ignores the live video he watched of them breaking into the building by smashing windows and assaulting officers while actively refusing to send assistance.The idea that actions he allegedly made before the riot in any way excuse his demonstrable inactions during the riot is self serving delusion.
>>1472534Not to mention his universal pardon for everyone involved, even the ones TRIED AND CONVICTED for assaulting police officers. Fuck, even the guy who laid pipe bombs is technically covered; it is literally sponsored terrorism.
>>1472533Whataboutism.>>1472534Which was Pelosi's responsibility. Does he have to do everything? Can he trust just one person under his chain of command to do their job and not be a treasonous piece of shit?Of course not. >sure he told secdef to have troops there the night before, but he didn't tell them again every five minutes so proof of insurrection!!!
>>1472535>Not to mention his universal pardon for everyone involvedYeah you don't have the right to bitch about that after all the pardons and commutations Biden gave. When Trump starts handing out blanket pardons to people not even under investigation, I'll listen to your deflection.
>>1472538Trump literally pardoned people who assaulted police officers and PLANTED BOMBS in his name, solely because they did it for him.
>>1472539but if the person you're responding to doesn't lie about it all night he won't get his rupees
>>1472541but have you considered it was pelosi's responsibility to call the national guard in? we'll just ignore that this was all broadcast live and we have public records of people begging Trump to intervene, and getting only laughter in return
>>1472542>h-he called for the national guard the prior day!>h-he didn't have any responsibility when the rioting actually happened!Which is it?
>>1472539What did I just say, faggot? When Trump starts handing out blanket pardons to people not even under investigation, I'll listen to your deflection.
>>1472553you said you refuse to listen to the truth, and we're already aware
>>1472553>Blanket pardons to avoid political persecutions are worse than terrorismAlso, the pardons had to be blanket because Biden didn't know what Trumped up bullshit Trump would go after people for. As we've seen with Leticia James and Comey not being under investigation during Biden doesn't stop Trump from launching a political prosecution.tl;dr Shut the fuck up, bitch!
>>1472547>Jan 6th was a peaceful protest!>the cop who died from complications from a MAGA beating was going to die anyway, so it doesn't count!lmao, you're such a faggot
Imagine thinking anyone cares about jan 6 in 2026 lmao
>>1472504>>1472506>Concedes it was a coup Surrender accepted.
>>1472481It was a mostly peaceful protest.
>>1472481There were very fine people on both sides on January 6th
>>1472564>no you see I have to give my people blanket pardons, not because they committed any crimes, but because Trump might investigate them the same way we did to himlol fuck off you double-standard having faggot.
>>1472646>the same way we did to himTrump was convicted, and the other 3 cases were thrown out by career Republicans who got hold of the prosecution power. That's a bit different than engaging in political prosecutions against anyone you can get your hands on and getting your shit slapped in court (or the grand jury even).>you double-standard having faggotYou should have different standards for different activity, bitch. Maybe if Trump had a single real fucking case against anyone, you'd have a fucking point. By the way, SCOTUS is about to throw out the law Hunter was convicted under and the Trump admin is in favor of them doing so. Even the one "real" case was fake in the end.>https://www.scotusblog.com/2025/10/court-agrees-to-hear-additional-case-on-gun-rights/What were you saying about double-standards?
>>1472646>>1472648And let's further get into the double-standard issue. My side can name the many, many crimes of your side. There's even been several convictions.Can you do the same for the people Biden pardoned? And I mean real crimes, not treason against the Kumquat King. You're more upset that people might have gotten away with shit you don't even know about than people definitely getting away with shit you do know about.Once again, shut the fuck up, bitch.
It wasn’t an “insurrection” and it was wild watching them call it that.
>>1472649>Can you do the same for the people Biden pardoned? And I mean real crimes, not treason against the Kumquat King.Yeah if I were you I wouldn't want to allow discussion on the two separate occasions Milley committed treason either.
>>14724815 years after January 6 do we have a definitive body count?How many people died on January 6 and how did they die?
>>1472651>Yeah if I were you I wouldn't want to allow discussion on the two separate occasions Milley committed treason either.Milley didn't get a blanket pardon, so now you're bitching about something unrelated. Also, still not a real crime.
>>14727131 person died.
>>1472750>Milley didn't get a blanket pardonhttps://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/biden-issues-pardons-to-his-family-members-in-final-act-in-office-citing-unrelenting-attacks-from-trump-and-alliesI don't know why you have to lie about something that can be looked up in two seconds.
>>1472713>How many people died on January 6 and how did they die?One unarmed woman shot by police for crawling through a window. Of course the left thought that one was justified. They'll fucking riot when Dresjon Reed gets shot by police while firing at them with the same handgun he live-streamed a drive-by with... but a conservative white woman? Now it's "well she should've listened to police". I fucking love the double-standards.
>>1472889>One unarmed woman shot by police for crawling through a windowHey why was that window being guarded by armed officers? Curious.
>>1472889The fact that you're currently arguing that a woman trying to escape from masked thugs screaming and cursing at her deserved to be executed in the other thread about the ICE murder in Minneapolis, while arguing a woman actively breaking through a barricade in a government building while an actual police officer told her multiple times to stand down, shows you're an NPC with no principles who just swallows whatever narrative Twitter feeds it
>>1472893From the same fucking retards who rioted and burned up Kenosha because WAAAAAAHHHH A BLACK GUY GOT SHOT IN THE BACK! IT'S NOT LIKE HE HAD A KNIFE AND CHILDREN AS HOSTAGES OR ANYTHING!!!
>>1472894>The fact that you're currently arguing that a woman trying to escape from masked thugs screaming and cursing at her deserved to be executed in the other thread about the ICE murder in MinneapolisAnon what the fuck are you talking about? I know this might be shocking to you, but not everyone here is a left-wing dicksuck. Quote the post.
>>1472897No, some people are amoral right wing child molesters, like you
>>1472895Burning an Auto zone and a McDonalds does not equal burning down the whole city no matter how many times you try to make it seem that way.
>>1472902What's funny is even that was confirmed to be done by off duty pro Trump Minneapolis cops trying to escalate the situation, but that doesn't fit the right wing narrative so it gets ignored
>>1472900Show me the post you're talking about then. Let's see it.>>1472902>does not equal burning down the whole cityWell good thing I didn't say the city was burned down, because I knew this shitty deflection was coming>durr city not burned down so no arsons happened durr$50 million in damage for a town with less than 100K people, since we have to be super-specific for your pedantic ass. Completely missing the point that you animals have rioted for far less for people who clearly deserved to be shot by police - but now you want to have standards when it's Ashli Babitt? Fuck off.
>>1472902>it was just a little bit of arson and domestic terrorism broThey also burned down a church and attacked the white house.Commies get fucked lol
>>1472916Neither of those things happened. But you were in the midst of a several week long child pornography goon session at the time and lost track of reality for a while, so you can't be blamed.
>>1472916they also killed 20 people but its ok because something something hitler something something orange man
>>1473020It was more than twenty. They only recorded deaths and property damage for the first month. Rittenhouse was a hero in so many ways.
>>1472484You mean the unarmed people who were invited into the capital by the police?
>>1473349god you're esl
>>1472920I think he confused the church burning in Canada with the riots in Kenosha.I don't know how he confused two countries with each other.
>>1473358>no refutation of my assertionI accept your concession, Mr shill.
>>1473349Can you show me the public invite cards the terrorists received to invade the capitol?
>>1473447https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Opy7MLGAPBkHere's footage uncovered by Tucker Carlson showing the police escorting protestors around the capital, including the "Qanon Shaman"
>>1473448>Guys look, some of the police helped them trespass>That totally erases the windows they had to smash to get inIf anything this proves we should've been investigating some of these cops for treason.
>>1473448>Tucker proving the police were in on the coupThis isn't the win you think it is.
>>1472481Truly the worst day in American history since 9/11. Dare I say worse than 9/11. I don't know how we'll ever recover from that most important moment in American history. I'm literally shaking thinking about it right now.
