January 1, 50% of U.S. Voters Say Capitol Riot Was a ‘Threat to Democracy’
As the U.S. approaches the one-year anniversary of the January 6 Capitol Riot, half of Americans say the incident was a threat to democracy, with most Democrats believing it was a conspiracy involving Republican officials.
In a new Rasmussen Reports survey, 50% of respondents think the riot “represented a threat to American democracy,” while 41% said it was not.
Data shows the majority of voters think participants should face charges. Rasmussen found that 63% of respondents believe it’s somewhat important to very important that participants are prosecuted.
When asked if they believed the events of January 6 were a conspiracy involving GOP officials, including former President Donald Trump, 43% said no, while 35% said yes.
According to the pollster’s analysis:
Beliefs about the fairness of the 2020 election clearly correlate with attitudes toward the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Among voters who think Biden won the election fairly, 84% believe the Capitol riot was a threat to American democracy. By contrast, among voters who don’t believe Biden was fairly elected, 82% don’t think the Jan. 6 riot represented a threat to democracy. Similarly, among voters who don’t think Biden won the election fairly, only 22% believe it is important that the Capitol rioters be prosecuted, but among voters who think Biden was fairly elected, 93% believe it is important to prosecute those arrested for the Jan. 6 riot.

I don’t believe any polls on this matter. When people riot to show mistrust of their government it’s an insurrection. But protest a war or burn a cities no big deal.

How about the FBI operatives involved in Jan 6. And the evidence of communist Joe being a fraud is overwhelming to those who open their eyes. Then his CCP payoffs and now total disaster as the criminal he is?

Jan 6 was nothing compared to the threat of BLM, Antifa, CRT, and Democrat communist voter fraud.

When it is honestly looked into, history will declare the speaker of the house and associates made a bad situation worse due to their absolute hatred of Donald J. Trump. He must really frighten them. Hang your hat on those observations.
