A Texas man charged with invading the Capitol and threatening Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Monday that he was effectively following then-President Donald Trump’s orders when he joined a mob that stormed Congress on Jan. 6.
Garret Miller also apologized to Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., for writing “Assassinate AOC” in a Twitter post. He said he would be willing to testify to Congress or in a trial about the riot.

MIller is one of dozens of people charged with participating in the riot, which began shortly after Trump held a rally outside the White House, where he urged supporters to pressure Congress to reject the election of Joe Biden as president.
In a statement released by defense attorney Clinton Broden, Miller said he had been motivated by Trump’s false claims about having been cheated out of reelection by ballot fraud and said, “I am ashamed of my comments.”

“I was in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021, because I believed I was following the instructions of former President Trump and he was my president and the commander-in-chief. His statements also had me believing the election was stolen from him,” Miller said.
“Nevertheless, I fully recognize Joe Biden is now the President of the United States and that the election is over. Donald Trump is no longer president and I would not have any reason to continue to follow his lead.”
“While I never intended to harm Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez nor harm any members of the Capitol police force, I recognize that my social media posts were completely inappropriate. They were made at a time when Donald Trump had me believing that an American election was stolen,” he said.

Exactly. Testify at, say, an “impeachment” show trial?
This guy sounds like a plant.
Publicity whore unable to take responsibility for his own actions.
Was he another Obama voter like the guy who led the racists at the Charlottesville statue protest?
Sounds like someone accusing himself of thoughtcrime for the telescreens.
What a complete liar!
Stupid but the left will go with it!
Of course he is going to ‘testify’.
My gut says this was the WHOLE PLAN.
When is Bernie Sanders going on trial for motivating a Bernie Bro to try to assassinate a number of Republican congressmen on a softball field?

Here, Comrade Harris wrote this confession for you. Sign it.
BLM/ANTIFA.
It on video, the whole world heard what Trump said
I wonder if Trump left a curly hair on his coke can too. Or made sexual advances to him with his eyes..
Come on man!!!
he lost the struggle session.
Don’t forget that the FIB was planting fake news stories the last time they wanted to impeach Trump all the way back to the beginning of his first term.
“I was in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021, because I believed I was following the instructions of former President Trump and he was my president and the commander-in-chief. His statements also had me believing the election was stolen from him,” Miller said. WOW! This Calls For Maximium BS Detection! |

It’s so sad that he will die in a tragic blender accident
after his testimony.
The whole occupying regime has been bought by the CCP.
The media too.
Do you want to live under CCP rule??
Every damn branch of government is now OWNED by the CCP just to get rid of Trump.
It may be do or die time soon.
This guy was photographed at antifa riots.
He is not a Trump supporter.
“ Learn up on this guy now...false flag brewing. Probably a plea deal in there somewhere...”
False flag or Quisling. One of the two.
