Fact-check: Fox News and Republican lawmakers push new false flag conspiracy that FBI orchestrated US Capitol insurrection
CNN ^ | June 17, 2021 | Marshall Cohen

Fox News, right-wing websites and Republican lawmakers are promoting a new false flag conspiracy that the FBI orchestrated the deadly assault on the US Capitol.

The haywire theory originated from an article published Monday by Revolver News, a right-wing website. From there, it was picked up by Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who used his opening segment on Tuesday night to slam the FBI, saying it played a role in the January 6 attack.

Several Republican lawmakers quickly piled on. They entered the article into the congressional record, tweeted about the Fox News segment, condemned the FBI agents who supposedly "organized and participated" in the Capitol attack, and demanded answers from the FBI director.

But here's the problem: The underlying article was nothing more than a conspiratorial web of unproven claims, half-truths and inaccurate drivel about perceived bombshells in court filings.

The feds are always involved. Whenever any group becomes public enemy number one there are always undercover feds in the group, so of course, there are federal agents in the groups the Democrats are complaining about. But are there federal agents in BLM and Antifa, or are the feds just not worried about them?

Since CNN calls it a false flag I am betting that means it’s true.

This scenario was realized within 24 hrs of Jan 6. When security personnel were concerned about the rally a week before the rally, the Sergeant of Arms reports to Nancy Pelosi in the House and Senate Majority Leader in the Senate.

They in turn planned the false flag in order to counter the rally and give them justification for mass arrests.

Videos prove the Trump supporters were peaceful and obedient to the guidance of the police and security.

Considering it never ends with the left, their signature is all over it.

It all stops at pelosi and turtle

They are in charge of the capitol police, and those two ordered them not to accept any help from other police agencies asking if they needed help

Well if you thought this was a bogus theory, the fact that CNN’s “fact check” also says it is bogus should give you pause...given their track record.

CNN has a lot of experience running false flag operations.

CNN is ATT — ATT invested heavily in the ousting of Trump.

Well, CNN, qui bono? Who benefitted? Democrats ONLY...plus it completely upset any possibility of a challenge to the “election” results on the House floor.

The more the Left squeals like a bunch of stuck pigs about 1/6 or audits, the more convinced than ever I am that the Dems engaged in massive vote fraud in 2020 ( and that it was far from their first rodeo).

Has CNN ever reported that the FIB orchestrated the deadly attack on the “Draw Mohammed contest” in Irving Texas?

CNN paid a leftist radical to provoke the crowd “let’s start some #^%^#!” and bring back footage.
