Five years later, and Hillary Clinton still can’t tell the truth about January 6.

On the anniversary of the Capitol riot, Clinton took to X with the same debunked claim that’s gotten media outlets sued into oblivion.

“Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie,” she wrote. “Trump then pardoned the attackers. He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won’t ever forget it.”

There’s just one problem: it’s a lie. And everyone knows it.

“Peacefully and Patriotically”

Here’s what Trump actually said on January 6, 2021:

“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

Peacefully. Patriotically.

Those words are in the transcript. They’re in the video. They’re part of the public record that anyone can verify in thirty seconds.

Trump never told anyone to “attack” anything. He told them to protest — the same First Amendment activity that Democrats celebrated throughout 2020 when their supporters burned cities.

The BBC Paid $10 Billion for This Lie

Clinton is repeating the exact claim that cost the BBC a massive defamation lawsuit.

According to The Telegraph, an internal whistleblower memo revealed the BBC “doctored” Trump’s January 6 speech. They edited it to make it sound like he was telling supporters to march to the Capitol and “fight like hell” — without the context of “peacefully and patriotically.”

The lawsuit alleged deliberate manipulation to create a false narrative. The BBC’s own internal documents showed they knew what they were doing.

Hillary Clinton is now pushing the same edited version of events. The same lie. The same defamation.

If the Truth Worked, They Wouldn’t Edit It

Here’s the thing: if Trump’s actual words supported the “incitement” narrative, they wouldn’t need to edit them.

The fact that media outlets doctored the speech — and that politicians like Clinton continue misrepresenting it — tells you everything. The actual transcript doesn’t support their story. So they change the story.

“Peacefully and patriotically” doesn’t fit the insurrection narrative. So they pretend he never said it.

“Fight like hell” — a phrase used by every politician in American history — gets stripped of context and presented as a call to violence.

It’s not journalism. It’s not honest political commentary. It’s propaganda, and they know it.

The Ratio Was Brutal

Clinton’s post didn’t go unanswered. Trump supporters flooded the replies with the actual transcript, the actual video, and calls for Trump to sue her the same way he sued the BBC.

The fact-checks were immediate. The lies were exposed in real-time.

This is what happens when politicians try to gaslight a population that has access to primary sources. You can’t tell people Trump said something he didn’t say when they can watch the unedited video themselves.

Pardons Are Constitutional, Hillary

Clinton also attacked Trump for pardoning January 6 defendants.

“Trump then pardoned the attackers,” she wrote, as if this were self-evidently wrong.

But presidential pardons are a constitutional power. Every president uses them. Obama commuted the sentence of Oscar López Rivera — behind bombings that killed and maimed Americans. Clinton’s husband pardoned Marc Rich, a fugitive financier indicted on tax evasion and illegal dealings with Iran.

Trump pardoning people convicted of trespassing and parading doesn’t exactly rise to that level.

The January 6 prosecutions were widely seen as politically motivated — harsh sentences for nonviolent offenses while actual rioters from 2020 walked free. Pardoning those defendants was a campaign promise Trump made and kept.

“Proven Lie” Is Itself a Lie

Clinton claimed Trump urged people to protest “over a proven lie” — referring to claims about the 2020 election.

But courts never actually adjudicated the election fraud claims on the merits. Cases were dismissed on procedural grounds — standing, timing, laches — not because judges examined evidence and found it wanting.

Whether fraud occurred is genuinely disputed. Calling it a “proven lie” is itself a lie — or at minimum, a massive overstatement.

Courts didn’t prove the claims false. They declined to hear them. That’s a very different thing.

The Queen of Denied Elections

Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump in 2016. She spent years claiming that election was stolen — Russian interference, Comey’s letter, illegitimate results.

She never accepted her loss. She wrote books about it. She gave speeches about it. She blamed everyone except herself.

Now she lectures others about accepting election results and respecting democracy.

The hypocrisy is so thick you could cut it with a knife. But Clinton has never let hypocrisy slow her down.

This post isn’t about January 6. It’s about keeping herself relevant. It’s about feeding red meat to a base that still sees Trump as the devil. It’s about positioning for whatever political future she imagines she still has.

Time for Another Lawsuit?

Multiple Trump supporters suggested the President should sue Clinton for defamation, just as he sued the BBC.

The legal bar for defaming a public figure is high — you have to prove actual malice, meaning knowledge that the statement was false or reckless disregard for the truth.

Clinton almost certainly knows what Trump actually said on January 6. She has access to the same transcripts and videos as everyone else. Claiming he “urged supporters to attack” when he literally said “peacefully and patriotically” could potentially meet that standard.

Whether Trump pursues it is another question. But the option exists.

Same Hillary, Same Lies

Hillary Clinton lied about January 6. Again.

She claimed Trump urged an attack when he called for peaceful protest. She ignored the transcript, the video, and the BBC lawsuit that already established this was defamatory.

Trump supporters caught it immediately. The receipts were posted. The lie was exposed.

Five years later, and Democrats still can’t tell the truth about that day. They have to edit speeches, strip context, and hope nobody checks the primary sources.

But people do check. And the lies don’t hold up anymore.

Hillary Clinton learned nothing from 2016. She’s still lying. She’s still losing.

Some things never change.
