\nThe US Trump administration opened a special page on the White House website on the occasion of the 5th anniversary of the\u201cCapitol Hill riots\u201d on the 6th, trying to reshape the narrative of the incident, it said Democrats had labelled\u201cPeaceful demonstrators\u201d as\u201cInsurgents\u201d. Democrats also held related activities the same day, accusing Republicans of\u201cWhitewashing history.\u201d.<\/p>\n
This special page first highlighted that Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of nearly 1,600 participants in the\u201cCapitol Riots\u201d on his first day in office last year, it said many of them had been treated as\u201cRebels\u201d by the Justice Department under former Democratic President Joe Biden for simply\u201cTrespassing\u201d or\u201cPeaceful demonstrations\u201d.<\/p>\n
The page features black-and-white photos of Trump’s\u201cSworn Enemy,\u201d House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and others, accusing Pelosi and other Democrats of using a lot of energy and money to\u201cSpin the insurgency narrative\u201d and putting all the blame on Trump, there was no evidence of\u201cArmed rebellion\u201d or\u201cAttempts to overthrow the government\u201d.<\/p>\n
The website called the Biden administration and some Republicans engaged in\u201cWitch hunts\u201d and\u201cWitch hunts,\u201d and cited the House Executive Branch Oversight Subcommittee’s December 2024 Interim Report, \u201cCapitol Hill riots\u201d exposed serious security holes, mainly due to the democratic camp and the Pentagon’s\u201cPoliticized decision-making.<\/p>\n
Trump claimed\u201cMassive fraud\u201d after seeking re-election in the 2020 presidential election. On January 6,2021, a large number of Trump supporters broke into the capitol building and interrupted the joint meeting of the House and Senate to certify Biden as the winner of the presidential election. Several people were killed, hundreds of police officers were injured and millions of dollars in property was destroyed. Trump was indicted on four federal charges in August 2023 for the Capitol riots, but Special Counsel Jack Smith, who led the investigation, dropped the charges after Trump won the 2024 presidential election, on the grounds that US federal law prohibits the prosecution of sitting presidents.<\/p>\n
The Washington Post said Friday that the Trump administration is\u201cStill obsessed with false narratives\u201d five years after the\u201cCapitol Hill riots,\u201d such as a web page that says no law enforcement officers were killed, but U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Siknik died the day after the attack. However, instead of mentioning Siknik, the page highlights the deaths of nine\u201cPeaceful demonstrators\u201d, five of whom committed suicide as a result of\u201cRelentless persecution\u201d. The report also pointed out that the web page that the then Vice President Pence has the power to overturn the election results, Pelosi is responsible for the security breaches of the Capitol is untrue. Pence declined to comment. Ms Pelosi’s spokesman said the Trump administration’s\u201cOngoing attempts to whitewash the deadly insurgency are shameful, unpatriotic and deplorable\u201d.<\/p>\n
Earlier on the 6th, Democrats also for the\u201cCapitol Hill riots\u201d held activities against the republicans, \u201cWhitewashing history. Among the guests was former Trump supporter and Capitol Hill rioter Pamela Hemphill, who said she\u201cMade a mistake\u201d and refused a pardon last year.<\/p>\n
In June 2021, Pelosi as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives decided to establish a\u201cCapitol Hill riots\u201d investigation committee, members are appointed by her. In December 2022, the Committee released its final report, which said the main cause of the incident was Trump.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s important that we remember exactly what happened,\u201d Benny Thompson, the Democratic chairman of the committee at the time, said on Sunday. \u201cJanuary 6 is not your typical tourist day.\u201d There were\u201cBloody riots that brought our democracy to the brink of collapse\u201d.
