Many of President Trump's allies argue that it is unlikely that his supporters were the main cause of the Capitol Hill riots.

As many of the most loyal supporters have blamed President Donald Trump for the January 6 Capitol Hill riots, allies remain in parliament, in conservative media and politics firmly defending.

They said that the violent acts of protesters were rooted in despair of feeling deceived by the media and ignored by the voices.

"The fake, insincere 'patriots' that are inserted into the ceiling are bound to be stripped naked," said Sarah Palin, the 2008 US Republican vice presidential candidate.

Palin's comments seem to be the typical answer coming from a group of loyal Trump supporters, who see admitting errors as a sign of weakness, observers say.

For many Republicans like South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton, the Capitol Hill riots were like "a drop of water."

Some lawmakers have decided not to continue to support President Trump's claims about election fraud and calls to stop confirming election results.

Before the riot, President Trump appeared in front of thousands of supporters outside the White House to declare he had won this year's election.

A series of former US presidents and bipartisan lawmakers have accused President Trump of taking responsibility for the riot and accused him of "abusing the trust" of his supporters to incite violence.

Sean Hannity, a Fox News commentator, did not mention in his radio show on the afternoon of January 6 that President Trump could be related to the Capitol Hill riots.

"People felt their opinions were not being heard, so they were angry," Hannity said, reminding millions of people who listened to the show about "hundreds, hundreds" of witnesses claiming to have witnessed good fraud.

Hannity then interviewed over the phone with a pro-Trump activist, Rose Tennent, who stood outside the parliament building as tensions escalated.

"This is a war as important to them as the Revolutionary War," Tennent said, referring to Trump's supporters who invaded the parliament building, adding that they were not entirely the only blamed side.

Some of Trump's other ardent allies have again attempted to turn attention away from the Capitol Hill riots by reviving stories of plunder fires and looting related to protests against violent behavior.

Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz on the evening of Jan. 6 at a House meeting blamed vandals "disguised as Trump's supporters" for causing violence on Capitol Hill.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham urged people not to rush to judge the entire crowd of protesters.

In Trump's pro-Trump media, the idea that anti-Trump fighters mingle in the crowd is actually responsible for the riots being widespread.

Mark Levin, who owns a radio show with 11 million weekly views, told his listeners that the rioters were all "idiots" that hurt the Trump movement and that it was possible they were

"We need to know exactly who did it ... Some people sent me pictures of Antifa," Levin said, referring to a left-wing movement that has often become the target of President Trump's blame.

"One woman emailed me, angry that I blamed President Trump's supporters for the Capitol Hill riot, when in fact it was the Antifa followers pretending to be the presidential supporters.

Before the justifications for Trump, experts say that even when Trump leaves the White House, a large number of his followers will probably continue to maintain their attitude.

"He will make the next four years a nightmare for the Republicans," Republican strategist Frank Luntz assesses the influence of President Trump.
