2012 Presidential Hopeful Michelle Bachman, Pathetic Liar
From this: Appearing on Jan Markell’s Understanding the Times radio show this Sunday, Michele Bachmann went down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole regarding the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, saying it was actually carried out by progressives seeking to stain the MAGA movement. “Jan. 6, we’re all told that that’s the worst day that ever happened, these were the worst riots in America,” Bachmann said. “It absolutely wasn’t. It is my opinion that this was a theatrical event that the progressive left put on.”
Anyone who made this claim immediately after January 6th could be excused as a garden-variety MAGA Trump supporter. There was no evidence for it, but it was a logical possibility, and the cultists were desperate to believe it.
Anyone who says this now, after 600+ insurrectionists have been arrested, every single one of whom has a connection to Trump via his rallies, Proud Boys affiliations, etc., is a pathetic liar.
