The Spin

Democratic narrative

The Jan. 6 attack against the Capital was a coup attempt by supporters of former President Trump. Those who participated in the attack are insurrectionists and must be held fully accountable for their crimes.

Pro-Trump narrative

It's absurd to persecute those who participated in the Jan. 6 protests with such ferocity. The Democrats are the real anti-Americans, demonizing patriotic citizens as "domestic terrorists."
