Another person from S. California was arrested by the FBI

From the NBC news app:
“He denied taking part in violence and told agents he believed violent agitators in the crowd were, “Antifa members in disguise.””

“The FBI said videos from Lewis’ personal Instagram account showed him inside the Capitol, and one of Lewis’ friends reported that Lewis had said in December, 2020 to, ‘watch what happens to the Capitol on the 6th.’ The friend also said Lewis had guns and had asked for ammunition.”

From NBC Los Angeles app.

Wow! That’s funny! Antifa in disguise.

6. I don't think they even believe this "it was antifa" crap

After all, they know THEY aren't antifa. They're just saying that to distract. And maybe a few are actually a bit appalled and guilty that people got killed and maybe they themselves did some violence or vandalism... and in trademark right-wing perverse fashion, they can only deal with their bad feelings by blaming someone else.

And real facts (like the fact that everyone arrested had a social media history of slavishly supporting Trump) never do matter to them. I'm really not sure why they keep talking about "evidence" for their crazed theories when they don't actually care about facts.

But all of this lying and misinformation, blaming mistakes on fictional characters....must be a result of parents not spanking their lying children.
