January 6 marks the one year anniversary of the far right insurrection at the US Capitol where a violent mob stormed the building, breaching three levels of security. Even though more than 2500 took part in the action, only 725 have been arrested so far. Brian Becker of the ANSWER Coalition talking to Monica Cruz of Breakthrough News points out that even though Donald Trump was the architect of the whole operation, he was able to reframe the incident and what happened afterwards as his political persecution.
