Were leftist provocateurs leading the way into the Capitol?

There are grounds for suspicion that provocateurs may have been the point of the spear in violently attacking the Capitol.

First, to state the obvious, there is no question that Trump supporters criminally entered the Capitol and behaved abominably. All who breached the inadequate protective perimeter must be prosecuted to the full measure of the law. Throw the book at them!

But there are grounds for suspicion that provocateurs, anxious to discredit Trump, his supporters, conservatives, and those who question the integrity of the presidential vote may have been the point of the spear in violently attacking the Capitol. Rowan Scarborough reports in the Washington Times:

Trump supporters say that antifa members disguised as one of them infiltrated the protesters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.

A retired military officer told The Washington Times that the firm XRVision used its software to do facial recognition of protesters and matched two Philadelphia antifa members to two men inside the Senate.

The source provided the photo match to The Times.

One has a tattoo that indicates he is a Stalinist sympathizer. antifa promotes anarchy through violence and wants the end of America in favor of a Stalinist-state. “No more USA at all” is a protest chant.

Video available on Twitter (for now) shows a crowd at one door the Capitol shows Trump supporters shouting “That’s Antifa!” and trying to stop a black-clad person with a helmet that says “Trump” on its back (suitable for news cameras) from breaking into the building.

It looked like many fighting the police were wearing protective helmets so they came planning for a fight.

They should get exactly the same treatment as the people arrested setting fires and destroying statues during the BLM riots. That would be fair.

Why didn’t the police just open fire on them?
These are obviously $15 an hour Antifa thugs, imported to promote chaos.

Eating our own. This is why we lose. Democrats would be giving medals out of this was their people. America is headed for a dark century. You can thank Democrats and their co-conspirators/enablers in the GOP for it.

Amazing anybody is drawing equivalence between a few broken windows and the country burning from sea to shining sea. They don’t call the GOP the Surrender Party for nothing.

What better way to cloud the vote audits in Georgia and other places than a Kabuki Theater show in DC complements of the Deep State.

All the people that already hated Trump are piling on. The gullible are eating up their gaslighting. They think they know better. Maybe they should run for POTUS?

I woke up from a nap, looked at still shots of people climbing the outside of the Capitol, and knew, even half-awake, this was leftists. It was so obvious.

There never is going to be an audit in GA. Denying us the truth is the lynch pin of the stolen election. Just like Spygate, impeachment hoax, Biden, etc. We’ll never get the truth.
