On Saturday, January 6, one link caught my eye: “Claim: In a speech on Jan. 6, 2021, Donald Trump told supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol to delay the constitutional process that would affirm Joe Biden’s presidency.”
I clicked on it on the naive assumption that the fact-checkers, this time from Snopes.com, would be forced to explain the truth: that former President Donald Trump said no such thing.
Of course, I should have known better – there was no chance they would be fair. In fact, in their own analysis, they write on several occasions that Trump did not in fact direct anyone or anything to “storm the Capitol” – and yet their conclusion is that the claim is a “mixture” of truth and falsehood...
