Oregon Republican Party calls Capitol riot a 'false flag' operation to discredit GOP, silence Trump

The Oregon Republican Party earlier this month approved and released a resolution calling the Jan. 6 Capitol riot by pro-Trump supporters a "false flag" operation and condemning Republicans who voted to impeach now-former President Trump over his role in the assault.

The resolution claims without proof that there is "growing evidence" that the Capitol attack that left five dead was a "false flag" event meant to "discredit President Trump, his supporters, and all conservative Republicans."

"This provided sham motivation to impeach President Trump in order to advance the Democrat goal of seizing total power," the statement says.

The resolution goes on to rebuke the 10 House Republicans - none of whom are from Oregon - who joined every Democrat in the chamber in voting to impeach Trump on Jan. 13.

From their manifesto:

"Whereas there is growing evidence that the violence at the Capitol was a 'false flag' operation designed to discredit President Trump, his supporters, and all conservative Republicans; this provided the sham motivation to impeach President Trump in order to advance the Democrat goal of seizing total power, in a frightening parallel to the February 1933 burning of the German Reichstag."

Oregon (and Washington) both have a reputation as being "liberal" states, but you get outside of the I5 corridor and you get some of the densest, most reactionary people in the country.
