Tomorrow is the four year anniversary of one of the darkest days of America’s history. On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump was so obsessed with unlawfully retaining power after he lost reelection that he sent his MAGA goons to the Capitol to undermine democracy and the Constitution.<\/p>\n

The result was a deadly insurrection that put 140 police officers in the hospital, caused millions of dollars in damage, and threatened the lives of members of Congress, their staffs, and even his own Vice-President, Mike Pence. And four years later, Trump is still deliberately lying about the riots that he incited and describes in glowing terms, saying that “there was a beauty to it and a love to it that I\u2019ve never seen before.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Now Trump is promising to pardon the nearly 1,500 rioters, most of whom pleaded guilty to charges ranging from disturbing the peace to seditious conspiracy. He continues to perversely refer to them as \u201cpatriots\u201d<\/em> and \u201chostages\u201d<\/em> who were merely exercising their First Amendment rights.<\/p>\n

Sadly, on the eve of the January 6th insurrection’s anniversary, two new “crockumentaries”<\/em> have been announced purporting to tell the story of Trump and his abhorrent assaults on the principles that define America. And if the old saying that “history is written by the winners,”<\/em> is true, the history written by Trump about himself and January 6th will be pure pulp fiction.<\/p>\n

The first film was the subject of a gala affair that Trump held at Mar-a-Lago this weekend to celebrate, John Eastman, one of the chief architects of Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election that he lost decisively to Joe Biden. The party, which for some reason was kept secret, and from which the press was excluded, was revealed by the hosts of “The Weekend”<\/em> on MSNBC. It’s peculiar that an event announcing a film premiere would be kept under wraps. What were they trying to hide?<\/p>\n
