>"On social media, on cable networks and even in the halls of Congress, supporters of Donald J. Trump tried to rewrite history in real time, pushing the fiction that left-wing agitators were to blame for the violence on Jan. 6."

Let's not overthink this. The right-wing always denies responsibility and cries "false flag" to evade accountability. Then they commit the same types of vile acts again, then deny responsibility again. Rinse, repeat.
