CNN couldn’t think of any other possibilities? Well, maybe they could, but they weren’t about to wreck the narrative they were clearly going for.
Weird. I've read this story three times and can find no evidence to support its opening claim that the Capitol Hill insurrection led to an increase in gun sales in January. https://t.co/cjZx8kVsb3 pic.twitter.com/rWt0ljRvWk

“Evidence”? CNN doesn’t need any evidence! We’ve now reached the point in “journalism” where time didn’t begin until January 6th of this year.
Connecting the gun spike — going for a year — with riot.

Pandemic + BLM riots + Capitol riots + Biden taking office = a year-long run of record gun sales peaking in January. https://t.co/KU2HE17mhx pic.twitter.com/0gX7Cu8T6H
