Counterattack
Trump and pro-Trump forces have mustered a counterattack against the former aide to Trump's chief of staff who delivered hard-hitting testimony to the Jan.6 committee. They are preaching to their supporters and denying everything she said. What they aren't doing is testifying to the Jan. 6 committee and that makes their denials less forceful. Trump is losing the perception war surrounding the insurrection because of his stubborn refusal to go on the record. The committee is piling damning evidence against him, mostly from Republican witnesses whom Trump has tried to discredit in social media. The perception of the former president is that everything is about him, that he is an autocrat unconcerned about anyone except himself and that he is a narcissist with a limited grasp of reality. Some Republicans say the party is slowly turning against him, but he still maintains millions of supporters who accept his version of the Jan. 6 events. Are they enough to help him regain the presidency?
