CBS News Hides Poll Showing Most Americans Believe January 6 a ‘Protest that Went Too Far’

Loading

CBS News has been taking flack for burying a YouGov poll showing a majority of Americans believe the January 6 Capitol Hill riot resulted from a “protest that went too far” rather than a coordinated insurrection.

While neither favorable toward Democrats or Republicans, the YouGov poll did show that while Americans have strong opinions about what happened on January 6, they were at least united in the idea the day was not an attack on Democracy by Trump-supporting terrorists.

Polling 2,063 U.S. adults with a margin of error ±2.6 percent, the poll showed that 76 percent of Americans believed January 6 was a “protest that went too far” while 55 percent of those polled believed it to be an insurrection; 63 percent believed the riot was to overturn the election and keep Trump in power.

The poll further showed there was a bipartisan consensus among those who believed the January 6 riot was “a protest that went too far” – 80 percent of Republicans, 69 percent of Democrats, and 80 percent of Independents.  However, the graphic shared by CBS News displayed only the other options, leaving out the majority opinions.

When describing the poll, CBS News gave the majority opinion only a passing mention.

“Descriptions of what happened are also similar to how they were a year ago after it happened. [Emphasis added] People widely call it a protest that went too far, but how much further becomes more partisan,” said CBS News. “Most Americans — including most Democrats, but just a fifth of Republicans — call it an insurrection and describe it as an attempt to overturn the election and the government.”

The riot on January 6 was anything but an organized insurrection. The fake committee of 9 angry democrats are in place to hide the truth about what actually happened.

It was a coup de etat orchestrated by the FBI and IC to prevent President Trump from resuming office in his second term.

President Trump won re election on November 03, 2020. The joint session of Congress to count electoral votes would have had the six states in question challenged as proscribed in the Constitution. Any combination of those six states where the electoral votes would not be counted pending further investigation by those states and potential decertification would have sent the election to the House of Representatives.

The House having a proscribed plurality of Republicans would have decided the election in favor of President Trump, all within the framework of the Constitution.

The riot was to interrupt the proceedings and prevent further challenge by House and Senate members.

Of course, even the poll is skewed by the fact that many of those polled get information from corrupt, lying propaganda organs (i.e. CBS) that feed them lies and suppress facts. Even then they can’t get the results they want.

They the Democrats want a Dictatorship and the first things they do is to confiscate our guns Biden is the Fehrer their wanting that’s why they stole the election with help from China

Feb. 1, 2022 – MIKE PENCE’S FORMER CHIEF OF STAFF MARC SHORT TESTIFIES IN JANUARY 6 INVESTIGATION

Former Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff, Marc Short, testified before the House select committee investigating January 6 last week in response to a subpoena; a sign that Pence’s team is cooperating with the probe. According to sources, Short testified before the select committee in person last Wednesday in a lengthy session. Short had previously supplied a limited number of documents that were subpoenaed by the committee, including a memo from Trump aide Johnny McEntee comparing Trump to Thomas Jefferson.

Short was with Pence at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and participated in a critical White House meeting on January 4, 2021. He is a potentially crucial witness in the committee’s investigation in determining if then-President Donald Trump and his allies tried to convince Pence not to certify the presidential election.

Short’s testimony comes as the panel still does not know whether Pence himself will testify. While the committee has had informal discussions with Pence’s legal team, sources say that Pence would prefer aides like Short act as the former vice president’s “proxy” so Pence himself does not have to appear.

Former President still blames Pence for not trying to overturn the election results in Congress — and Pence has faced a backlash from Trump’s base for his role on January 6. Short was with Pence at the Capitol on January 6 when rioters were chanting “hang Mike Pence” and Trump tweeted, “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution.” Short was also at Pence’s side in the Oval Office for a pivotal January 4 meeting when Trump and attorney John Eastman tried to convince Pence that he could overturn the presidential election results in Congress on January 6.

The serious danger that Trump faces from Mike Pence is that Mike Pence, regardless of his politics, is an honorable and truthful Christian man.

And Pence goes about acting all pious and holier than thou. Jesus had words for a such a man as this “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.” (MT.15:8)

“I didn’t come here to play games … I just want to see Pelosi’s head hit every f***ing stair on the way out,” he says later. “I think we have the numbers to make it happen … without firing a single shot.”

Enjoy your stay in prison.

It was a false-flag.
