It was three years ago today that Donald Trump incited a mob that attacked the US Capitol and tried to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s decisive 2020 election victory. The second assault on democracy came that night as 147 Republicans tried to overturn that free and fair election. Despite what we all watched in real time, and the voluminous reporting and congressional testimony since on Trump and his allies’ actions before, during, and after the insurrection, lies and [conspiracy theories]( about that tragic day continue to [consume]( the GOP as we enter 2024. With the quadruply indicted Trump barreling toward the party’s nomination, Molly Jong-Fast [wrote]( this week how the ex-president’s unhinged rants and dangerous threats are barely making a blip on the media radar. Coverage of Trump was also a topic of discussion on this week’s [episode]( of Inside the Hive, while Mark McKinnon [gamed out]( a variety of scenarios for this potentially tumultuous political year. Elsewhere, Bess Levin [found]( Mark Cuban explaining to Elon Musk why diversity, equity, and inclusion is not “racism,” and Trump supporters [getting worked up]( about the release of [documents]( related to late, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
