Another January 6 Lie: No ‘Armed Mob’

Cassidy Hutchinson testified under oath to the House Oversight Committee

• Claimed that Trump knew the crowd was filled with "armed supporters" but still urged them to head to the Capitol Hill to attack government leaders
• Listened to a list of weapons allegedly confiscated by 10 a.m. as rally-goers passed through security screeners

Cheney added more flair to the dramatic scenario by playing radio transmissions she said were obtained from the D.C. Metro Police department.

• Three men walking down the street in fatigues carrying AR-15s were seen near the Ellipse, close to the president and numerous government officials present.

The implausibility of Cheney's story did not discourage the January 6 echo chamber from running with it

• The January 6 committee posted a tweet shortly after Hutchinson’s performance claiming “Trump wanted to go to the Capitol with the armed mob, despite warnings not to do so from his advisors."
• Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), always the victim, whined that lawmakers were “sitting ducks” on January 6.
• “The leader of the executive branch instructed an armed + dangerous mob to attack the legislative branch [on January 6]. We will not forget this”
• Representative Pramila Jayapal demanded Trump be sent to jail for attempting an armed “coup.”
