Democratic narrative

Bit by bit we're learning of the ties between groups that were instrumental in the Jan. 6 attacks on the Capitol, like the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys, and their close ties to the Trump White House. This is a sign that the political attempt to stop the certification of the votes overlapped with the violent effort.

Pro-Trump narrative

It's absurd to call Jan. 6 a "seditious conspiracy" by unarmed citizens who largely committed no acts of violence. The Democrats are the anti-Americans, targeting patriotic citizens as "domestic terrorists."
