The claim that January 6 was intended to break the system to review election anomalies is contradicted by the sources, which describe the event as an attempt to stop Congress from certifying Biden's win based on false fraud claims. The 'election anomalies and impossibilities' framing is an allegation that fact-checkers and the January 6 Committee examined and rejected.
What was said
… because, yeah, we're up against the two party system that seems almost impenetrable, so we have to find different, creative ways to, to, to break the system momentarily and give us an opportunity. You know, people probably don't like to talk about it, but that's what January 6 was like. That was the entire purpose of January 6, was to break the system that day and say, we're going to look at all the things that led to these election anomalies, these election impossibilities. Yeah, it was clearly rigged. We're gonna use the process that we have here in Congress, and that's why the whole thing got stopped, so that they could just certify the election and sweep it under the rug, so which they did. …
The Health Ranger Report · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. The January 6 Committee's executive summary concludes that the central cause of January 6 was Trump's effort to overturn the 2020 election, premeditated and built on falsehoods, not a review of irregularities.[5]
Contradicts. The Brennan Center describes the January 6 effort as a plan to overturn the 2020 election through pressure on Pence to reject swing-state electoral votes on a 'fictitious ground' of illegal votes.[6]
Contradicts. PolitiFact's 2021 Lie of the Year covers claims about January 6 and calls Trump's 'fraudulent election' assertion a falsehood; it also records that the claim that Jan. 6 was an orchestrated left-wing operation was proved false.[1]
Contradicts. AP fact-checking states that the evidence indicates the rioters were pro-Trump protesters and that the claim the 2020 election was the 'real insurrection' is a repeated falsehood.[2]
Contradicts. The Harvard review of the Capitol riot describes the attack as an attempt to stop Congress from certifying Biden's victory, with rioters acting on a 'stolen election' belief that the record shows was false.[3]
Context. The White House page (a government source) asserts that January 6 was a fraud-ridden election and that Democrats staged the 'real insurrection,' but this is a partisan assertion rather than an independent finding that rebuts the record.[4]
