“If we’re the purported victim, in Congress, and we’re saying this was not an insurrection, I think that would hold a great deal of weight.”

Yeah, that's it, just have the people who wanted the insurrection to succeed say it wasn't an insurrection.

Congress wasn't the victim. The American people, the states, and the Constitution itself were victims.

We all have a Constitutional right to a peaceful certification on January 6 and a peaceful transfer of power on January 20.
