David and Tim Barton Predicted Christians Wouldn’t “Cause Trouble” at the Rally

We already know Christian pseudo-historian David Barton will say anything to defend Donald Trump. His Tim Barton is no different.

Earlier this year, the elder liar praised Trump’s handling of the pandemic because he’s “not letting medical professionals run everything.” He also said it wasn’t the government’s job to respond to a pandemic (even though it absolutely is). And he claimed governors who were issuing restrictions were too scared of the virus because they weren’t Christian enough.

But while the Bartons are notoriously bad at assessing current events, they’re arguably worse at predicting future ones.

On Tuesday, the Bartons appeared on “VICTORY Update” to discuss Wednesday’s Trump rally — the one that eventually led to right-wing terrorists storming the Capitol building — and just listen to this clip of them saying how everything would definitely be peaceful: (follow link to see video of them saying this)
