I saw it today-exact verbiage-posted by someone other than last night’s poster. I actually thought this would have blown up and become a major story overnight. No news organizations have verified it though. I did see that the poster from last night had become indignant when sources were requested. His response was that the source was in the tweet. So, I guess he means CCTV? Not good enough.

But isn't that because the little 5' troll tweeted it out (the picture) on the 5th?

I will never be on "the Twitter" but I thought I read that she tweeted the picture out on the 5th, in some BS tweet.



Not as damning as if the pic was taking in DC on 01/05/21 as it is being perceived, but if the little troll posts a pic of herself with other insurrectionists/terrorists/traitors the day before those same assholes storm the capitol, does it matter when and where the pic was taken?

Maybe it does - to me not so much, the little 5' hag can accidentally discharge her weapon in her face and I would most likely experience major Schadenfreude.
