The oft-cited Trump era mantra. Similarly, there haven't been charges against the person who placed the two pipe bombs on Jan. 6. That doesn't mean it didn't happen.

In any event, the data is clear that most of the violence associated with the BLM protestors was against the protestors and perpetrated by the police and their kindred spirits in the White Nationalist movement. Yet wingnut media (and you) continues to spew the lie that the violence was almost entirely perpetrated by BLM protestors. Bottom line - You asserted that press reports that BLM protests were "mostly peaceful" was fake news and I provided hard data that showed that ~95% of the protests had zero violence or property damage. In my book, 95% is certainly "most." I suppose in wingnut circles, 5% represents "most."

In a similar vein, many conservative politicians and wingnut news initially blamed Antifa for Jan. 6. It's a reflexive, defensive reaction on their part employing the projection that has become de rigueur on the right - create chaos and blame the other party for the chaos that ensues. The truth, however, is that ~800 people have been arrested thus far for 1/6 and exactly zero of them have been Antifa.
