Well that doesn't make sense. Republicans say Jan 6 people were secret antifa, so why was this guy

going in with a taser to... fight antifa?

Oh, I'm sorry, it has to be ANTIFA in all caps.

Anyway...

The first video of an FBI interrogation of an alleged Capitol rioter has been released. In the clip, Danny Rodriguez, who authorities say broke into the Capitol on Jan. 6, along with others, is seen crying and admitting that he tased Metropolitan Police Department officer Michael Fanone.

Of the preparations he and his co-conspirator made, Rodriguez told investigators they were for Black Lives Matter protesters and Antifa.

"The preparations were for BLM and Antifa. We thought that they were going to go -- we thought we were going to hit it like a civil war," he said. "There was going to be a big battle. This is what I thought," he says in the video. "I thought that there was going to be fighting, for some reason, in different cities and I thought that the main fight, the main battle, was going to be in D.C. because Trump called everyone there."

Rodriguez -- who said he broke a window to get into the Capitol -- said he was a true believer in former President Donald Trump, and even wanted to enlist in the military when he took office. He said he thought he was doing right by the former president by breaking into the Capitol with other of his supporters.

This reads like a frickin' movie. Final confrontation in Washington DC? Really?

Look, I'm not a military history buff but even a cursory glance can tell you the "final battle" is a bit of a misconception, it's more of a process.

World War II (European theater) - Didn't end in one day, the "final battle" wasn't some fistfight between Eisenhower and Hitler on top of a tank with explosions all around them. And Michael Bay or the guys who made 300? Be sure to credit me if you make a movie featuring this. The "final battle", if you could call it that, was between original "ANTIFA" partisans and a Nazi puppet state in some small town called Odzak. Oh, and the antifa forces won.

And that's your history bit for the day.

2. I Kind Of Like The Visual Imagery Of A Fistfight

Between Ike and Hitler. Although I'd also like to see Patton vs. Hitler.

3. The Party of BENGHAZI doesn't want us to investigate the insurrection?

The Party of BENGHAZI doesn't want us to investigate the insurrection? Is this real life?

Why would the republicans not want an investigation?

Who was in the Jan 06 insurrection/riot smearing poop on the walls of Congress, attacking police, seeking Mike Pence for execution, and vandalizing the Capitol Bldg?

The ONLY proof you need that Antifa had nothing to do with January 6th is the Republicans' refusal to form a commission to investigate it.
