Democrats are now claiming seven people died as a result of the riot on January 6th. That is a stretch. They are showing video of the very violent mob tearing into the Capitol. The Democrats are trying to link the former president to the mob looking for VP Pence.
They played the clip of DJT calling for peace two hours after the mob breached the Capitol. However, they breached it while the president was speaking and about 25 minutes before he stopped speaking to the peaceful crowd of hundreds of thousands.
The former Capitol Police Chief said that he had about 200 police officers handling about 200 out of control radicals. He said he asked for National Guard assistance six times before the riot and was denied the help. One official told him the optics weren’t good. At 1:00 pm, he knew he needed the Guardsmen. The Pentagon did not send them until 5:40 pm.
Several Democrat representatives, the House managers, are attempting to prove they can impeach a former president no longer in the position.

“Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments.” All means all, including one involving a former official impeached while still in office.
Lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin says their case against former President Trump is based on “cold, hard facts”: “If we buy this radical argument that President Trump’s lawyers advance, we risk allowing January 6 to become our future” https://t.co/X2vFpMPJG2 pic.twitter.com/W6XyszXiPv
