The White House on Sunday blasted House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), arguing now is not a “time to perpetrate long-discredited conspiracy theories,” after the Louisiana Republican refused to answer whether the 2020 election was stolen when pressed several times on ABC News’s “This Week.”

“Election denial is a dangerous conspiracy theory that has done unprecedented harm to the country and has been comprehensively debunked by over 80 federal judges, as well as the Trump Administration’s national security officials,” White House spokesperson Andrew Bates wrote in a statement Sunday.

Reiterating President Biden’s call for Republicans and Democrats in Congress to work together in good faith, Bates said now “is not a time to perpetuate long-discredited conspiracy theories that fueled an assault on the Capitol and [tears] Americans apart,” in reference to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.

Thankfully they all tend to be cowards like their golden calf. First shots fired they’ll run away just like during 1/6

I really don't think many of them believe their own bullshit enough to risk their own lives over it. As a result, I believe we will continue to see occasional domestic terrorism events but no organization in larger numbers than Jan 6.
