On Jan. 6, 2021, an angry mob of Donald Trump supporters swarmed a CBC News crew working near Capitol Hill. Nearly four years later, reporter Katie Nicholson tracked down one of the people who surrounded her that day to find out what she’s thinking heading into another volatile U.S. presidential election.

Was worth the watch for the emotional contortions the supporter twists herself into when confronted by one of the people she threatened, her Democrat-voting husband dealing with it all, and that messed up Trump paraphernalia store.

    Hell of a video — too bad that it took Canadian media to make it! If anyone had any lingering doubts about MAGA being a cult, this will confirm it.

      She says Jan 6 was about “love” directly in the face of a woman whose life she previously threatened on that day. But she has to say it, because that’s what the cult told her last.

      “Nothing done wrong at all,” Trump said.

      "There were no guns down there. We didn’t have guns. The others had guns, but we didn’t have guns.

      “And when I say we, these are people that walked down - this was a tiny percentage of the overall which nobody sees and nobody, nobody shows. But that was a day of love.

      These individuals need deprogrammers, not debate.

        “The others” had guns? As in, the Capitol Police, Secret Service, and other security services who were desperately trying to stop the mob? Because I’m not aware of any “others” that were there that day.
