Sen. Ron Johnson: 'Fake Trump Protesters' Behind Capitol Riot

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., during a Senate hearing Tuesday read out a report claiming the Capitol riot was "probably planned" by people pretending to be supporters of former President Donald Trump.

Johnson read from the article, a first-hand account of the riot titled, "I Saw Provocateurs At The Capitol Riot on Jan. 6," which was written by J. Michael Waller, a senior analyst for the Center of Security Policy, and published by The Federalist.

Waller claims people "whom I presumed to be antifa or other leftist agitators" were the ones to attack police officers during the riot last month, which turned "unsuspecting marchers into an invading mob."

Johnson noted, Waller "said that the mood of the crowd was 'positive' and 'festive,'" and four types of people "stood out" from the rest of the crowd and "obviously didn't fit in."

Two Senate Republican leaders said, in so many words, that they Love Merrick Garland - and Lindsey Graham told him during the Public Hearing that he wants prosecuting the Mob at the Capitol Riot to be his number one Priority in life.

So, probably intentionally confusing. They are Garland and Wray to focus singularly on getting that horrible Trump crowd.

I still try to explain to people I work with that this was not an armed insurrection. Today, one guy replied that they had found a pipe bomb, which makes it armed.

I wanted to scream at him. If the 500,000 people there had come as an armed insurrection, they would still be there.

Prosecute them and the trials will expose them as antifa or members of other groups.

It was clearly another hoax, just like Russia collusion. There were reports of bus loads of ANTIFA escorted into DC by police before Jan 6. Also ANTIFA escorted on Jan 6 by police to the Trump Rally. There were news reports days before the rally that ANTIFA was planning to show up wearing Trump gear. There were people inside the Capitol building identified as ANTIFA and BLM members and then reports went silent. It seems it was coordinated with the DC police that let people go inside. The ANTIFA people encouraged and led real Trump supporters inside.

It took that long to figure that out? All they had to do was get Trump paraphernalia, show up, and act stupid.

Why didn’t they call me a month ago?

March 1st is an anniversary date when Congress was really attacked with weapons, injuring 5 congress critters. This past Jan 6th didn’t make the grade as the one in 1954 did. It has long been forgotten, and it probably doesn’t appear in the school books. Jan 6th was a set up, and they will brush it off by blaming it on white supremacists, or find some made up video, like they did with Benghazi.

It was an armed erection. Everyone there had a right arm and a left arm.

The “siege” was staged. And Ashli was taking cues from the actors.

I want to know why the media along with the Capital Police played along with the narrative that cop died due to the rioters attacking him vs the reality of him dying of natural causes hours or even a day later???

Wow! Only took a month and a half and an impeachment for balls to start growing.
