Former President Donald Trump’s lies about a stolen 2020 election united right-wing supporters, conspiracy theorists & militants on Jan. 6, but the aftermath of the insurrection is roiling two of the most prominent far-right extremist groups at the U.S. Capitol that day.
More than three dozen members & associates across both the Proud Boys & the Oath Keepers have been charged with crimes. Some local chapters cut ties with national leadership in the weeks after the deadly siege. The Proud Boys' chairman called for a pause in the rallies that often have led to clashes with anti-fascist activists. And one Oath Keeper has agreed to cooperate against others charged in the riot.
Members of the Proud Boys & the Oath Keepers make up just a small fraction of the more than 400 people charged so far. Prosecutors have narrowed in on the two extremist groups as they try to determine how much planning went into the attack, but authorities have said they're intent on arresting anyone involved in the riot.
But leaders of several local Proud Boys chapters, including in Seattle, Las Vegas, Indiana & Alabama, said after Jan. 6 that their members were cutting ties with the organization’s national leadership. Four leaders, including national Elders Council member Ethan Nordean, have been charged by federal officials with planning and leading an attack on the Capitol. One of Nordean’s attorneys said he wasn’t responsible for any crimes committed by other people.

If there was any doubt in anyone’s mind that the election WAS stolen, and that, ‘We The People’ are 100% SCREWED, this is it!
Wrong, Michael Kunzelman & Alanna Durkin. You’re both liars and bloody traitors.
The usual far left, anti conservative, anti Trump propaganda, disinformation and lies from fake news AP? Yup.
Stopped reading right there.
First sentence is a lie...and this is all a witch hunt...but other than that...
Or maybe they weren’t all together to begin with.
But to sell the Democrats’ conspiracy theory they were all lumped together.
Are the Leftists who led the riots in DC on Jan 6th being charged?
Has the cameraman for CNN been charged for yelling things to incite rioting? Has he had to give up his money yet for damages? Has CNN been charged with promoting the riot?
A lot of criminal conspiracy charges but this is simply a witchhunt and the government’s case is falling apart just as the DA’s case in that Waco biker trial fell apart because of overcharging and civil rights violations. Also in Waco there were government agents inside the biker groups.
Did AgitProp ever ONCE call out Hillary Clinton for insisting for over 5 years that Donald Trump was not the legitimate president?
Filled with ad hominem attacks and partisan invective, this is indistinguishable from an editorial opinion piece.
What has happened to journalism?
“far right groups”
Stolen is the right word.
Is this a WGAL editorial or just lazy carrying AP?
Is channel 8 still the only TV in the area?
It was when I was at Gettysburg college in the 50s and my classmate’s father managed the station.
It died, a rather ignominious death, decades ago. 👎
These 2 writers are left wing radicals & their mission is to brainwash people.
The CNN camera man was not charged.
It’s AP.
The deep state desperation going on now just shows that they are not as strong and in control as they would like us to believe.
In reality the Biden cabal is hanging by a thread. They know they stole the election. They are sitting around everyday worrying about when the jig is going to be up. They were forced to commit a crime that is too big to cover up. There lies the problem.
Wait until the Trump rallies start and they are twice as big as they were in 2016. Hundreds of thousands of people voicing their opposition in conjunction with forensic audits in multiple states. At some point how does the thief continue to hold on to his stolen prize?
The leftist agendais global and is far from being scared. The run everything now. Even corporations.
We went to such a crowded Tea Party meeting last night that many people had to stand. You’re right. Those rallies will be bigger than ever.
