I mean, Donald Trump held his first real rally of this presidential run at Waco, on the anniversary, with video of J6 insurrectionists on video as he held his hand to his heart and the national anthem played. He’s not just avoiding his role in the insurrection attempt, he’s running on it. And everyone in his party and the media just shrugs… if they acknowledge it at all.
