I was thinking that no one ever bring up Steve Bannon on tape saying Trump was not going to leave
and declare victory even if he lied. That was pretty damning stuff.
I had an argument with my niece who was saying they let the rioters in because she saw the one clip where they decided to start letting them in because congress was safe at that point. She was so sure that proved her point that there was some kind of conspiracy against Trump, until I played the Bannon tapes. She hadn't ever heard them but admitted it was pretty damming. I was surprised it changed her mind. I don't think many Conservatives have even heard those tapes. They need to be run in political ads next fall for sure.
