okay. it s not like they re claiming to be god. liars are touchy, sometimes to the point of hysteria, hiding something. that s the whole point of lying. they re worried you re going to find out what it is. liars are fragile, because over time lying makes you weak and afraid. it has the same effect on countries, by the way. we re living through one of those clarifying moments that actually we re thankful for, where we re learning who the liars are. on monday we showed you unreleased video from january 6th, proving the most important claims leaders have made about that day were untrue. their claims were lies. we were not shocked to discover that. we knew there was a reason the congressional leaders had been hiding the tape and that reporters in washington weren t demanding to see it. they were lying to us obviously. that s why you hide things. but what was actually surprising, we can t get over it, even now, is how they responded when they were caught lying. they didn t seem em
not one. some were assaulted. that s true. their assaults are indefensible. how many were assaulted? garland said over a hundred. the government accountability office says the number is 114. we ll roll with that. we don t know if it s true, but we ll take it at face values. we re as opposed to attacking any police officer. we re against that. but is january 6th the worst assault on the u.s. government since the civil war? that s insane. it s not even close. how about march of 1954 when puerto rican separatists shot five congressmen shot in the building. it s all bad, but you re a liar saying that. more recently, antifa descended on washington, d.c. to force the sitting president from office, but it was trump, so that s cool, and while there set a historic church on fire.
learn more about what actually happened on january 6th. let s see the tape. no, they didn t want to he sue it. they exploded in lane. as liars tend to do, they doubled down, told the same lies they ve been caught telling but with greater aggression this time, shut up it s midnight, they said, as the sun rose behind them. who acts like that? sociopaths do. in this case, the sociopaths turned out to be both democrats and republicans. the commitment to lying in washington is far deeper and more partisan even than we realized. we follow this stuff for a living. now, you sometimes hear people say that the whole partisan system is an illusion, and that underneath the manufactured debates the leaders on both sides are in fact secretly united in a common love of money and power. the deception required to get them. honestly we could never bring ourselves to believe that. it s too dark. but now we do believe it, because they have seen it. consider the death of police
officer brian sicnic. we don t exactly how he died. no one has explained. after refusing the previously withheld video evidence, we can tell you he was not beaten by trump voters at the capitol. the tape shows him walking through the building in apparent health after the media told us for two years that he had been murdered. they were wrong about that. okay. they got caught. here s the interesting thing, they won t admit it. liz cheney s tweet is still on twitter tonight, the officer was killed for defending our capitol by the violent mob on january 6th. anderson cooper of cnn has not apologized. the officer died after being hit by a fire extinguisher during the fight. those are lies. why not admit and move on? but they won t. this week the white house trotted out both the press secretary and joe biden s
