CNN anchor Abby Phillip addresses the ongoing impact of January 6th, highlighting the concerning trend of millions believing President Trump's false claims, even in the face of undeniable evidence. Phillip emphasizes the dangers posed by those who continue to downplay the violence and seek to rewrite history, urging vigilance against their attempts to distort the truth.
CNN anchor Abby Phillip said on her network’s special coverage of the election certification that it was a big problem that millions of people in this country are willing to believe anything President-elect Donald Trump says, “even if it’s a blatant provable lie.”
Phillip said, “It actually is not surprising Trump was able to do that because the very fact that jibs happened in the first place is evidence of Trump’s political power. Those people were there because of him. You saw in that video that we just played, he said, ‘The election was stolen from us.’ He said that even as people were breaking into the Capitol. Trump never backed down from the fundamental lie that was at the heart of January 6 and he still does not to this day.
She continued, “So January 6, I think, is a symptom of a broader problem, which is that there are millions of people in this country who are willing to believe anything that Trump says, even if it’s a blatant provable lie.” Phillip added, “For the Congress, I think the members, some of whom are in the chamber, who will be in the chamber today, the members who backed Trump up, who continue to try to gaslight the country about what happened that day, who insist this was predominantly peaceful when we saw with our own eyes what happened, those people are still in power.
