Eric Metaxas rewrites the history of January 6

John Fea   |  February 17, 2025

There are a lot of American evangelicals who get their American history from Eric Metaxas. In a recent segment of his radio show, Metaxas said that there were no violent protesters at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Watch:

With the blank background and his head so close to the camera, this video reminds me of one of those 1984-type movies where Big Brother is speaking to the people through state-controlled television.

Metaxas has been particular unhinged this week:

This is so beautiful I'm choking up. "I prayed for 20 years… and God sent me President Trump…" This is an answer to MANY prayers and God is doing more than we could ever hope or imagine. He is blessing America in order to bless the whole world through us. https://t.co/zS0DFfkNQX

Nope, no violence here, Eric. They must be all FBI plants or maybe Antifa:

    In a recent press conference someone asked Trump about the January 6 mob attacking police officers.

    His reply: The police attacked them!

    Metaxas is deluded.

    That is as kind as I can be.
