The reason Trump calls the protestors "insurrectionists"? [View all]

That somehow it cleanses him from his traitorous act of January 6, 2021.

Because if they are "insurrectionists", then the government must be on the right side? If the government is on the right side that time, then they must be on the right side this time? He knows he led the insurrectionists against the transfer of power, because he wanted to stay in office.

He can't seem to shake the word "insurrectionists" from his vocabulary?
