(NewsNation) — A Jan. 6-themed pinball machine at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is making the rounds on the internet.
Rolling pictures on the machine show images of the 2021 Capitol riot and features buttons that read “Stop the Steal,” “Political Prisoners,” and “Fake News.” The game bills itself as an “educational documentary game.”
The game is housed in the basement ballroom of the National Harbor resort in Maryland along with other booths and merchandise for conference attendees.
On Jan. 6, supporters of then-President Donald Trump, fueled by false claims of a stolen election, assaulted police and smashed their way into the Capitol to interrupt the certification of Democrat Joe Biden’s victory, forcing lawmakers into hiding; most of the rioters had come from a nearby rally where Trump urged them to “fight like hell.”
A Trump supporter, Ashli Babbitt, was shot and killed by a police officer as she tried to breach a barricaded doorway inside the Capitol. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, injured while confronting the rioters, suffered a stroke the next day and died from natural causes.
