To hear them say it, it was as bad as the Pearl Harbor attack and 9/11, if not worse. Joe Biden has called it the "worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War."

To enhance the rhetoric, we often get treated to a lot of nonsense and bogus claims. In addition to his bizarre reference to the Civil War, Biden has falsely alleged that rioters killed a Capitol police officer — a claim that has long been debunked, but that has never stopped him from telling the tall tale repeatedly.

There are lots of details about the riot that Democrats have fought hard to keep from the public — hence the reason why Nancy Pelosi broke precedent by handpicking the entire Select Committee on the Capitol riot, making sure it was full of partisan Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans. Do you remember the collective freakout when Tucker Carlson was given hours and hours of footage that the committee didn't want the public to see?

There's a lot about the riot that Democrats simply don't want us to know, and when we've managed to learn a few things that are, shall we say, not good for the preferred narrative, they get dismissed as conspiracy theories.

Some of the lingering questions about the riot are how many FBI agents and informants were embedded amongst the demonstrators and what role they played in instigating the violence. It's long been suspected that there were several feds involved, but the true number may be much larger than we thought. In fact, according to a report from the New York Post, there were so many paid informants in the crowd that the House Judiciary Committee literally "lost track" of them and had to perform an audit to determine how many were there.
