There are a lot of myths about the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. NPR obtained and reviewed thousands of videos from the January 6th court cases to debunk one of the most persistent myths: that the rioters were unarmed. The video evidence shows in vivid detail that the rioters prepared for a battle, equipped with body armor, gas masks, firearms, incendiary devices and much more.Reporter: Tom Dreisbach/NPRVideo Producer: Ben de la Cruz/NPRInvestigations Editor: Barrie Hardymon/NPRLighting: Bronson Arcuri/NPRAudio Engineer: Andie Huether/NPRDirector of Visuals: Nicole Werbeck/NPRView all 2,181 comments

Many media types and Dems continue to operate as if Trump is a politically invincible figure, or "Teflon Don." But in truth he's become a weak, failing, diminished, unpopular, naked-emperor figure, and it's time to treat him as such.
