Right Wing Cesspool Media Is Telling Their Imbeciles ANTIFA Stormed The Capitol

And millions believe it.

This psycho right wing media has got to pay a price for their instigating violence, and shifting the blame for everything.

They radicalize people to earn $$$$ BIG $$$$ advertising dollars.

This is insane.

My country is tearing itself apart because a third of my countrymen live in a fantasy world where evil is good.

Brainwashing.

It’s very clear who did the rioting. Saying otherwise will make them look like idiots.

My response - you ALMOST sound like you believe that

He quoted the since retracted story of facial recognition confirming that is was ANTIFA.

Thank you Washington Times you worthless rag.

"Spear" guy - "Feet-on-desk" guy - "Lectern thief" guy - and ask THEM if they are ANTIFA...... maybe a great jail-cell interview!

Or whataboutism at its finest - what about the riots last summer? Like that’s the equivalent of a violent coup to overthrow the government!
My response to “it was Antifa!” - please explain the presence of at least 6 Republican elected officials in the crowd?

Look to your left. Look to your right. That guy to the left carrying a Trump flag is ANTIFA! The guy to the right with the MAGA hat and no mask? Him, too. In fact, whatever direction you look in, you're looking at an Antifa person. You know what to do!

As it was still going on he started spinning tales about seeing antifa and the particular clothing/gear they were wearing which was how he knew it was them, etc.

He also claimed the woman who was shot had been summarily executed by police (she wasn't). Of course he also said, before that, that she was shot in the leg (she wasn't). But attention to detail, memory persistence, and internal consistency are not his viewers' strong suits I guess.

And before the violence he had repeatedly told his viewers that Trump had personally asked him to lead the march. Oops! That lie will be causing a headache if/when the FBI comes knocking.

To be clear, AFAIK, Alex Jones never even got to the Capitol. He wasn't actually leading the march, and before he even got there it had turned violent so he stayed away and broadcast as if he had inside knowledge of what was going on. His normal bullshit.
