President Donald Trump's most fervent loyalists have been pushing a false narrative claiming that the U.S. Capitol building was breached by members of "Antifa" rather than violent Trump supporters who rioted in a failed attempt to overturn the presidential election outcome.
A pro-Trump mob assaulted police officers and stormed the building on Wednesday as Congress convened to officially certify President-elect Joe Biden's victory. Video and photographic evidence shows the crowd carrying Trump banners and signs promoting unverified claims that the election was "stolen" from the outgoing president, but Trump loyalists baselessly alleged that the real perpetrators may have been disguised anti-fascist activists.

Giddy or not shocked that this is where we are?
Yesterday was shameful. But as I said yesterday, we didn’t get here overnight.
We could start with the “peaceful” movements of the 60’s featuring Weather Underground with Bill Ayers and his bombings. But let’s stick with the more recent:
We have seen years of abuses such as storming the Wisconsin Capital while it was in session and shutting it down, Code Pink infiltrating the Senate and threatening and intimidating Senators, GOP congressmen being shot, our cities burned in the name of resistancevamd social justice and on and on. Oh and not to mention that the Dems have objected to past GOP presidential wins.
We have a two tiered system of outrage and worse, criminal justice. And participating it only dumps gas on the fire. It only further alienates and enrages those who are subject to it.
So while yesterday was a shameful act, those who now decry it while having remained silent or allowed themselves to be silenced when shameful actions were taking place over the last decades are themselves shameful. They are eager participants in the Orwellian new order.
They think this is a useful tool to kill off Trump and his movement. Perhaps they are correct. But their rank hypocrisy is turning whatever victory they (and I mean Crenshaw and the rest of the GOP) think they have into a hollow one. The GOP died yesterday and just doesn’t realize it yet.
Yup, plenty of “shameful” actions to go around. Ye sir, we didn’t arrive at our Capital being stormed overnight.
oh now antifia are saints??

WHO CARES? Any assault on the oligarchs is a good thing.
Thanks for your insight. I agree with much of what you wrote. Take care.

6 Jan: Arizona Republic: Longtime Arizona QAnon supporter in horned helmet joins storming of U.S. Capitol
by Richard Ruelas
PIC
Among the supporters of President Donald Trump who mobbed their way into the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, one – unmistakable in his fur, horned hat and painted face – was Jake Angeli, a QAnon supporter who has been a fixture at Arizona right-wing political rallies over the past year...
Reached on his cell phone Wednesday evening, Angeli refused an interview with The Arizona Republic.
He did speak with a correspondent from the Globe and Mail of Toronto, according to a Tweet from that reporter, saying that police had stopped trying to block him and other Trump supporters and let them into the Capitol. After some time, according to the Tweet, Angeli said police politely asked him to leave...

I spoke with Jake Angeli, the QAnon guy who got inside the Senate chamber. He said police eventually gave up trying to stop him and other Trump supporters, and let them in. After a while, he said police politely asked him to leave and let him go without arrest

reply KellylnMadison: If they were allowed in by Capitol Police, is it still trespassing??

Patriots focused on the wrong people.
The media - the Leftist Propaganda Machine, the Fourth Branch - should have been the hard focus.
THEY have the eyes, ears and minds of the ignorant citizens.
THEY get D’rats elected.
THEY hide truths and repeat lies.
THEY hire D’rats to work and speak for them.
THEY are the enemy of our republic (the word they NEVER use to describe America).
The aggressive ones were young men dressed in alll antifa gear!
Lmao. They are so scared, like rats and cockroaches they cannot even come out. Where is your come out gay game Newsweek cowards!
In a crowd of 100,000 people, there are going to be 500 people of dubious character. When they are acting as a mob, who knows what might happen. Why wasn’t the capitol protected? Who killed the woman?
Stop asking interesting and rational questions
Ever notice everything from Trump supporters is baseless.
Videos of identified antifa, confessions from an antifa, videos of patriots trying stop antifa and yelling “it’s antifa” all on Parler, The lies just keep getting deeper and deeper...disgusting traitors. Patriots came in peace, what happens next is the traitors fault.
I get suspicious every time the word “baseless” is used by our betters in the MSM.
“Are you kidding me? We’ve got plenty of people here on FR talking about CWII, executions, firing squads for disloyal pols and journalist, etc. And many Freepers appeared to be almost giddy at the sight of those mouth-breathing yahoos rampaging through the U.S. Capitol.”
Yes they certainly are brave sitting behind their keyboards. These rioters have totally destroyed Trump’s legacy and chances of ever running for office again. After 4 years of baseless claims of violence by us, the media finally have their optics to run 24/7. And the few like us who p[oints this out will be attacked by the very same keyborad warriors as traitors, losers, trolls, etc.
Just like the baseless claims of election fraud. I’m so tired of all these lies. They were in helmets, knead, with fire extinguishers, etc . They came ready to riot. These antifa were not at Trumps speech- they were already up there readying themselves. There were definitely MAGA people in the capitol, but were they the source of violence in there? Posobiec posted photos I totally forgot about about all the 100s of protesters breaching security daily during the Kavanaugh hearings. Those protesters were media darlings.

What is this violence you speak of? A few broken windows? Democrats would be giving medals to their own if the shoe was on the other foot. They don’t call the GOP the Stupid Party for nothing and it’s not because of GOP politicians.
