New 2024 Poll: Shows GOP Clinging to Trump Regardless of the Truth & Facts

MAGA types say it was only tourists strolling 

MAGA types say Trump not responsible

MAGA types don't believe President Biden won

From BUSINESS INSIDER Poll numbers on three January 6 related topics with their headline and three Poll charts above (formatted to fit the blog):

“1 in 4 Americans say the FBI spurred January 6: poll”

· A new poll shows an alarming number of Americans continue to believe conspiracies about the Jan 6 Capitol riot.

· 1 in 4 Americans say it is definitely or probably true that the FBI instigated the attack.

· There is no evidence to support such claims.

A sizable portion of Americans (namely: far right-MAGA-Trump sycophants) continue to believe the unfounded conspiracy theory that FBI agents egged on the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot, according to new polls.

FYI: A Washington Post-University of Maryland poll found that a quarter of Americans say “it is either definitely or probably true” that federal law enforcement officials instigated the attacks – that despite repeated denials and multiple investigations showing no evidence to support the unfounded theory.

The findings underline how nearly two years later, mis- and disinformation about the attack that took place during a critical moment in the peaceful transition of power continues to take hold nationwide.

Multiple investigations into the Capitol insurrection show that there is no evidence of anything remotely resembling the type of FBI involvement put forward by many right-wing commentators. 

Some claims have been thoroughly debunked, including the popular Ray Epps being a FBI agent plant.

Of the various sub-groups, Americans who voted for Trump were by far the largest believers in FBI involvement with 44% believing that it is definitely or probably true that the FBI organized and encouraged the attack.  

In comparison, just 10% of voters who supported President Biden supported that theory.

Trump has promised to pardon a large portion of people convicted of offenses related to the Capitol riot if he wins in 2024 (Project 2025 Plan).

He has also promised apologies for many as well.

FBI Director Christopher Wray has appeared exasperated at times during congressional testimony when asked about the theories. 

He has stressed on multiple occasions that his bureau's agents did not encourage rioters to stage the most disastrous attack on the Capitol in modern memory.

For example, Wray told House lawmakers in July: “I will say this notion that somehow the violence at the Capitol on January 6 was part of some operation orchestrated by FBI sources and agents is ludicrous and is a disservice to our brave, hardworking, dedicated men and women.”

FYI: The FBI has been at the core of investigating the riot. The bureau undertook one of largest manhunts in its history, resulting in charges against more than 1,200 people and over 900 convictions thus far (PBS reporting)

My 2 Cents: How can any rational logically-thinking people believe and trust Trump as the above polls show in face of the facts and evidence against him that disputes their views and his, too?

I just can’t understand that – can you? 

I guess Trump truly does “love the poorly educated” that he claimed in NV after he won the GOP primary there in 2016. Amazing, isn’t it?

Thanks for stopping by.
