"Debating the Nature of Jan. 6: Protest, Riot, or Insurrection?"
Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley, speaking on "The Brian Kilmeade Show," argued that the January 6 Capitol riot was not an insurrection or rebellion, as former President Trump has not been charged with such, and the public generally views it as a protest that turned into a riot. Turley warned that efforts to disqualify Trump based on these events threaten democracy and could lead to a slippery slope of political retribution. Additionally, a federal judge dismissed most civil counts against Trump in a lawsuit related to the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick during the January 6 events.
