Bob Unruh’s efforts to whitewash the Capitol riot — even though its participants have been pardoned by President Trump — continued in an April 15 WorldNetDaily article:
Federal prosecutors have gone to court again over the J6 protest-turned-riot at the U.S. Capitol, this time to wipe out the “seditious conspiracy” convictions orchestrated against members of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys organizations by the Joe Biden administration.
They were convicted as part of the federal government-wide weaponization against President Donald Trump, his supporters and his advocates by Democrats in power at the time.
In fact, there was ample evidence of many protests on that day on January 6, 2021, but only a few hundred people trespassed into the Capitol and some of those vandalized various rooms. There was an absence of evidence of a true sedition, or as Democrats have since described it, an “insurrection,” as there was no plan for a replacement government, agenda to take control of the military, the economy, and more.
Unruh didn’t explain how attempted violent overthrow of the government did not constitute insurrection, or why an insurrection can take place only if there are plans for a replacement government. Unruh continued to mislead:
The protesters that day were objecting to what they perceived as an inauthentic election. In fact, it was under the undue influence of the FBI’s decision to interfere and falsely claim details of scandals involving the Biden family were Russian disinformation, when it wasn’t. Further, Mark Zuckerberg handed out $400 million plus to local elections officials who often used it to recruit Democrat votes.
A polling after the election showed such influences likely were the key to Biden being declared the winner.
Unruh failed to explain how a public opinion poll (whose source he does not divulge) is more accurate than an election, and he failed to point out that Zuckerberg’s money was available to all who wanted it to hold an election during a pandemic and that numerous Republican-controlled counties got money.
Unruh also offered no evidence that the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers — both right-wing activist organizations — did not do what they were convicted of. As a less biased media organization pointed out, numerous Oath Keepers stockpiled guns for possible use by “quick reaction force” teams at a Virginia hotel, which would seem to rebut Unruh’s claim there was no plan after the riot.
