Jen Psaki drops the hammer on MAGA conservatives' new drive to 'rewrite' Jan. 6 history

On her last show of the year, MSNBC host Jen Psaki called out Donald Trump supporters who are going into the new year — and the 2024 presidential election — attempting to downplay or “rewrite” what happened on Jan. 6 when mobs of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol and tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.

Sharing clips of lawmakers like Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Mitch McConnell (R-KY) earlier taking to the Senate floor to express their disgust about the day lawmakers had to flee for their lives, the former White house press secretary compared them to recent comments by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Vivek Ramaswamy, who recently called the insurrection an “inside job.”

According to Psaki, “The thing is, we did see for ourselves. Everyone did. As we approach another anniversary of that day, none of this, none of it, should be in question.”

“A group of people motivated by the lies of the then-sitting president of the United States attacked the Capitol in a desperate attempt to keep him in power,” she continued. "But for the coalition that supports Donald Trump, what happened on January 6th is apparently, unfortunately, still up for debate."

She added, “And as we enter the New Year, that specter of political violence continues to hang over the country.”
