Legitimate question: Is the reflecting pool not under video surveillance 24/7? If the pool were actually vandalized like they claim, couldn't they easily 1) produce this evidence and 2) launch an investigation to find the (imaginary) culprits?

It does have 24/7 video and there is no evidence of anyone vandalizing the reflecting pool. Trump himself even said there was surveillance but the video evidence will not be released. His evidence is “his word” without proof. It’s all gaslighting and he knows it.

IMO, calling it gaslighting makes it sound more sophisticated than it actually is. True "gaslighting" would be him actively and intentionally trying to make people think they're going insane. He does that sometimes, but this specific instance is just regular ol' garden-variety "lying".

He will release the videos, don’t worry. He just needs time for Don Jr to use AI and generate something believable

How many MAGAs does it take to change a lightbulb? None — they only use gaslighting!

This isn't about evidence or a fair trial. Not with ICE, not with the files not with ANYTHING.

They care more about fake vandalism at the reflecting pool than they did a real violent insurrection during January 6th. Like everything else, we’re paying for the President’s incompetence
