January 6th is a date we’ll never forget – not due to its significance, but due to how often that date is repeated. Marking the one-year anniversary of January 6th, 2021, Vice President Kamala Harris said “…Dates that occupy not only a place on our calendar but a place in our collective memory. Dec. 7, 1941, Sept. 11, 2001, and Jan. 6, 2021.” One of these dates simply is not like the other. One helped to launch the United States into World War 2, the other claimed thousands of innocent lives, and then there’s January 6th, which is a day of news coverage, and then constant reminders of the date from people who supported rioters just a few months prior.

CBS conducted a poll, which parts were later covered up by the network due to not receiving the desired outcome. In this poll, people were asked many questions. Many questions on the poll were divided, the main divisive talking points include: believing that it was an attempt to overthrow democracy, as well as, believing it was an “insurrection”. The over 2,046 people polled did find some common ground:

For starters, “a protest that went too far” was the overwhelming favorite of the 2,046 Americans who were polled with 76% agreeing with that characterization of Jan. 6. The second most popular result was “trying to overturn the election and keep Donald Trump in power” with 63%. Both of those options were omitted in the graphic bolstered by CBS. Meanwhile, “an insurrection,” which came at a distant third with 55% of Americans was kept in the graphic among the others which polled even less popular.

As first reported by Fox News, CBS downplayed the findings of its own poll asking Americans how they would characterize the events in the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The survey asked 2,046 adults, “What happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021?” Eighty percent of Republicans and 69% of Democrats described it as “a protest that went too far.” Even 70% of Biden voters characterized it that way.

 But this was not the information CBS chose to highlight. Instead, after quickly noting, “People widely call it a protest that went too far,” its reporting turned its focus on more granular responses to the poll, conducted with YouGov.

 Americans don’t seem to care about January 6th as much as the White House does. While Democrat politicians are calling anyone who was in attendance on January 6th a domestic terrorist, most Americans view them as being at a protest that got out of hand. Attendees of the George Floyd riots throughout 2020 were often given the benefit of the doubt, with CNN even having the headline “Firey but mostly peaceful” while the entire background is engulfed in flames.

  1. I CAN’T BELIEVE ALL THIS BULLCRAP IS STILL BEING ALLOWED TO HAPPEN IN THE USA? WE HAVE BECOME A 4TH WORLD COUNTRY. DOES ANYBODY WITH LOVE FOR AMERICA CARE? IT SURE DOESN’T SEEM SO, AS THE GOP AND THE SUPREME COURT, STILL DO NOTHING. JOE HAS GONE “FULL BONKERS, ” AFTER SEEING HIS SICK ANTI-AMERICAN “RALLY SPEECH” LAST NIGHT. THE DEMORATS HAVE ACTUALLY BECOME THE ENEMY WITHIN!

    1. You are delusional the Demorats have been the enemy within for close to 100 years they have gotten worse lately now they have gone full psycho

    2. Let’s hope and pray the mid-terms bring more stability to our country. It is alarming how everything that has happened to us since the 2020 election is a fall into a deep hole of dysfunction and perpetrated lies.

  2. All we have seen is what the liberals want us to see about what happened
    on Jan 6. I want to see all the footage they have hidden. I also want the
    FBI to admit how many agents were there to instigate the riot. I want to know about BLM and Antifa’s part in the whole three hours. I want to know
    about the second woman that was also killed. We have not seen the whole
    story. I do not believe the story that has been written. I want to know why the
    protesters have been not given due process. We do not treat terrorist like
    they have been treated. They are political prisoners. Will someone not tell
    the truth, the whole truth?????

  3. I care more about the real terrorism going on. Antifa BLM and our own vice president bailing this trash out to do it again. What the hell is wrong with you Republicans? There are only so many Islands left to give away for your silence.

  4. Yeah, at first it was funny, comical. It’s turned into a total shitshow now, these people actually believe this crap their talking! Key in Hitler youth and supporters, read what comes up, read the ideology crap these people believe inn and its like your reading the crap dems are saying 24 hrs a day! This isn’t about Bidumb, he’s a flipping joke he’s going nowhere like his whole life! The people to watch out for are the ones thinking and writing this shit Bidumb reads off the dela prompters. I think the whole bug eyed lot of them personally!

  5. Compared to the summer of 2020 January 6th was a walk in the park and some participants got out of hand. The news media and politicians lie every time they suggest there were any deaths that day besides Ashli Babbitt.

  6. The January 6th problem sounds mostly like the fault of this 2021 corrupt government. Like everything they do or plan, the many corrupt, lying, lawless democrats take common sense, peaceful American activities and try to turn it into violence, corruption and lies to benefit them. Them is the corrupt anti many democrats and their followers. They are destroying the USA 🇺🇸. Wake up USA 🇺🇸.

  7. When are you fascist going after Antifa and the business burning BLM? All my insurance premiums have increased. It used to be when I crashed a car or burned a building premiums went up or I was canceled. Its time to cancel you fascists get out while you still can. Im just waiting for the other shoe to drop. God bless America. This will probably not be approved.

  8. The media and the FRAUDULENT ADMINISTRATION, the result of FRAUD IN THE 2O20 ELECTION IS EXACTLY AS THE FRAUDSTERS HAVE BEEN PUSHING. 6 JAN IS EXACTLY THE SAME FRAUD PUSHED BY THE SAME FRAUDSTERS AND THE MEDIA.

    NO TRUTH TO IT WHATSOEVER. ANY RIOTING WAS INSTIGATED AND CARRIED OUT BY THE FRAUDSTERS, NOT THE PEOPLE SUPPORTING PRESIDENT TRUMP. THE POLITICAL PRISONERS WERE THERE SEEKING HONESTY IN OUR GOVERNMENT. AND THE FRAUDSTERS COULDN’T HAVE THAT.

  9. Everything democrats accuse republicans of, is exactly what democrats are doing, the tactic is used by democrats from the teachings of Karl Marx, a favorite book of the democrat commies in America.

  10. The Liberal/Socialist Democrats are still calling the Jan 6th event an “insurection.” By doing that they prove that they use words for which they don’t know the definitions…. OR…. they DO know the definitions and are intentionally misusing them for the purpose of political propaganda. Either way should prove to anyone that what they say cannot be trusted.

    Insurection: an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government – Merriam Webster Dictionary. Since there was nothing about the Jan 6 event whose purpose was to overthrow the government is cannot be called an “insurection” (well, at least not if we stick strictly to the dictionary definitions of the words we use).

  11. They just think that if they call it an insurrection enough times it will make it true. Intelligent Americans know it isn’t true and are insulted that the Democrats keep calling it that. How can these idiots keep a straight face when they insist Jan 6th was an insurrection attempt? All it was was a Monday that a demented fool took office.

  12. It was a setup and a calculated plan by the deep state leaders who didn’t want Trump in office. There is so much false information out there that is flipped, manipulated, and flat-out lies that the media continues to peddle. I wish individuals would stop listening to any news on TV and find other sources that have proven factual. It’s our job to get what we need. If you think TV is the answer then you are truly lost.

  13. This is just the Beginning of a Socialistic Take Over By The Government, Create Unstable Situations, That Create Division Among the People, So They Fight Against Each Other, Based On What They Believe In. When It Gets Real Bad, the Government Will Declare Marshall Law and Take Over, Too Protect The People from Themselves.
    Look to the Past for the Same Scenarios Like Germany, Cuba, n USSR.

    We Know Longer Live in Country Were The Government is For The People By The People, Its About and For Them!!

  14. Our cities burned – law was non-existent – and our representatives did nothing. A riot on Jan 6 in D.C. and instantly a wall is built to protect the bureaucrats, etc. and they still keep talking about it. Shows how much they care about the people.

  15. This administration and bonehead liberals have put race relations back 60 years. People have tried to overcome racism for a long time and now, thanks to the stupidest idiot in politics, the president, race is crammed wokism and racism down our throats and blacks are used as tools to drive the wedge between the races. EEO and Affirmative action now means, “give nothing to whites and take everything away from them and give everything to uncapable black people.”

  16. The January 6, 2020 rush on the Capitol was a momentary lapse of sanity on the part of those who followed the few who incited the rush on the Capitol. It is so obvious that the D.C. police were not prepared for such a rush, as President Trump had advised them to be. In fact, it looks more like the police were expecting the onslaught of people being incited by a few. Of the few who were inciting the crowd to rush the Capitol, it looks more and more like they were either Progressive agitators from BLM and Antifa, or worse, FBI agents. Anyone who entered the Capitol that day was wrong. What actually caused the “incursion”, now seems to be more deviousness from the Left.

  17. Kamala Harris should have listed 9/11/2012 in her list of events. Four Americans lost their lives in an attack the Obama Administration was responsible for and lied to cover up what went on and how they abandoned our ambassador and others there. Another event they should remember is the April, 1993 massacre at Waco, TX by Justice Dept personnel under Janet Reno and FBI director William Sessions. It seems that Democrats and the Justice Dept. are still targeting innocent citizens and trying to make us look like terrorists. They even come out and say it. Will they ever learn that we are a Constitutional Republic?

  18. Jan 6th was a set up by Pelosi and the FBI, all so they could blame Trump! What Jan 6th means to me is that it is the date a Lot of Republican Rinos sat on their hands, failed their oath to the Constitution when they refused to contest a stolen election! They are as much to blame for the current mess as the communist democrats! McConnell should move to China!

  19. What a bunch of media hype. Jan 6 was nothing more than a self guided field trip. That murderous capitol cop should be in JAIL.

  20. Having seen the photos since the day after, it’s easy, my grandfather wouldn’t be climbing the walls because of his knees. And why did the FBI, Antifa, and BLM paid activists get off Scott free?
    Do your own research, look up “PEOD”! THIS is a new act that was created the next Presidential term to give the Administration MORE POWER! You never notices that the Biden Administration incarcerated for over a year without access to an attorney, or medical treatment. My grandfather said the same thing happened in Germany around 1934.

  21. Jan 6th happened because the conservative people of the US thought they were robbed of a president they thought was elected, they believed the election was stolen. In retrospect, we still believe that premise, because we can’t understand how ANYONE would vote for a hiding, senile, old man that is a puppet for the socialist Democratic Party.

  22. I think it was a giant setup, time will tell. United We Stand, Divided We Fall. WWG1WGA May God Bless AMERICA, AND All Americans.
