It’s classic abusive and abuse-enabling behavior. Blame the victim. “Look what you made me do to you!” “She shouldn’t have been dressed that way.” “Doing something stupid like that means you can’t complain about what happens to you.”
Now it’s top White House policy, as part of their Orwellian rewriting of history.
You see, the January 6 violent assault on the US Capitol was nothing of the kind. It was a peaceful protest by mere innocents and patriots who were righteously upset about how Joe Biden stole the 2020 election. Those guys beating up Capitol Police? They were the real victims here. Capitol police hospitalized, dead of heart attacks, suffering PTSD? They were the real criminals. Folks breaking into the building, smashing windows, threatening government officials? It’s all Nancy Pelosi’s fault.
Don’t believe your memory. Don’t believe the still-extant (for now) video recordings and photographs and eyewitness testimony from even Republicans who have since changed their stories. Believe only what the White House tells you.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
