Dueling narratives highlight divide on 5th anniversary of Jan. 6
Proud Boys and pardoned rioters held a march honoring Ashli Babbitt while Democrats condemned efforts to rewrite history and criticized pardons of over 1,500 rioters.
- On Jan. 6, pardoned rioters gathered for a self-described peaceful memorial march Tuesday, retracing routes from the Ellipse to the U.S. Capitol.
- Democrats at an unofficial Capitol Hill hearing condemned rhetoric as a rewrite of history; the White House launched a new website accusing Democrats of a `gaslighting narrative`.
- Organizers said the march honored protestors like Ashli Babbitt, who was shot breaking a barrier on Jan. 6, while Enrique Tarrio, former Proud Boys chairman, said `I think some arrests were warranted, but I think 95% of the crowd was very peaceful.`
- A plaque intended to honor officers remains in storage while its unveiling is tied up in litigation, and about 100 lawmakers, mostly Democrats, have hung replica plaques outside their offices.
- Witnesses at an unofficial Capitol Hill hearing included convicted rioter Pamela Hemphill, who refused a pardon, alongside officers who testified police were assaulted, while President Donald Trump echoed marchers' sentiments at a Republican retreat Tuesday.
