Ray Epps reveals how his life has been ruined after conspiracists claimed he was FBI informant at Jan 6 riot

There was no return to normal for Ray Epps, a man who became the hingepoint of a right-wing conspiracy to pin the Capitol riot on the FBI.

Before the Capitol riot ended, supporters of former President Donald Trump were manufacturing stories as a way to ease the pain of the cognitive dissonance they were experiencing. The first story claimed that the Capitol police invited the protesters inside. The second was that Antifa was actually behind the riot, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

When those stories didn't stick, MAGA-world tried another. That one told the tale of an FBI informant who planted the idea of breaching the Capitol in the rioters' minds — proof that the Capitol riot defendants were led astray by a false flag operation, and not willing participants in an attempted insurrection.

The article is unbelievable. He did all this stuff but they say it’s ok, because he reached out to the FBI, because he didn’t want to hang Pence, tried to deescalate things inside the Capitol. And he only went in peacefully.

So wait, all those Prosecuted tried to hang Pence? None of them cooperated? They all went in to overthrow the government?

Every bit of that is nonsense, they literally locked everyone else up and threw away the key.

But Epps was ok because he was a “nice guy”.

Makes zero sense.

Big time disinformation.
Brother, you ain't lying. I saw the Antifa types there that day with my own eyes.
A group of guys were collapsing their batons off in a corner, all in black block.
I didn't see them use them, put they were sure putting 'em out of sight when I saw them.

Hell, when I first got there (the second time that day as I went to the Hill before I went to the rally) two guys were pulling a guy out through the crowd coming in saying he was Antifa. Black block, goggles, helmet, tac jack...the works.

The second was that Antifa was actually behind the riot, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Antifa is paid thugs. Whoever pays them is who was actually behind the riot.

They say the videos were “selectively edited”. No description of the details, no effort to show the full video. No claim they saw a different video.

His detractors also point to a video taken the day before the riot in which Mr Epps can be seen encouraging people to enter the Capitol. He says he regrets that day, but claims he was suggesting they enter as a peaceful protest.

So his accusers are correct, HE was inciting.

HE was on the 10 most wanted for several days, then poof, no more.

The videos are clear, both picture and sound.

But HE is the victim here.

Disgusting would be up-selling this bag of crap.

“Big time disinformation.”

It is.

I assume it’s an opinion piece but perhaps Yahoo published it as news.

There he is instigating trouble but the FBI would rather persecute granny taking selfies and pretend Ray is a nice guy 🤪

Only libtards are dumb enough to buy that

It has become pretty clear that the only culpable incitement was done by employees of our Government agencies.

Ray Epps is in a special class of loser, but in the end he is just a tool. Unfortunately tools don’t and never will care.

"The first story claimed that the Capitol police invited the protesters inside"

There is indisputable video evidence of that. I am &@!!&%#!! sick of the gaslighting.

The article was very amateurish. It is almost like the author did not really view Mr. Epps on video. The video evidence, and the crowd’s reaction, speaks for itself.

I have been trying to the my congressperson’s staff to view Mr. Epps on video, and to get them to tell me something is not seriously wrong. The will not watch it (or tell me they watched it).

No search engine returns anything on Ray Epps.

How convenient.

I went to rumble.com and searched for it on their site, but even rumble does not have much on him.

They scrub all evidence.

I never saw evidence of selective video editing. If there is exculpatory video evidence, let’s see it!

“Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary “. Wouldn’t it be special if they would tell us what that evidence is? If they’re honest, they will say that “so and so said so”. They take hearsay and second hand reports as gospel if they like it, but dispel eye witness statements if they don’t like it, How in the hell can the truth or justice be served with standards like this?

I tried to up-vote that video several times but it kept telling me “user has already voted.” I hope Rumble isn’t giving in to the Deep State.

.

He went from group to group telling them we MUST go in - until he found a receptive group.

Please explain the innocent explanation for recruiting others to do something you won’t do yourself.

Please explain.
