look bad. Makes no sense at all. The FBI and its agents, like most LEOs, are republicans.

encourage people to storm the Capitol Building, much like the "Umbrella Man" seen during the BLM rallies last summer smashing a block of windows of an auto parts store to create mayhem and discredit the BLM protests and make it seem they were all about violence and destruction.

The right is now trying to imply that Epps was sent by the FBI or antifa.

This guy claims he has gotten rich from Soros.

Looks prosperous, eh?

And the Congressman 'believes' him.

to protest violently, plus, invite him to lunch which further incriminate himself.

That unshaven, rough looking guy, got paid by someone on the right to attend that gathering and get up and tell those lies.

Now they're trying to say Epps was working with the FBI and antifa and is proof that the FBI and antifa are the cause of the Jan. 6 insurrection, not trump and the republicans, despite all the trump flags the insurrectionists were carrying as they stormed the Capitol building.

That is of course ridiculous as we all saw trump, Mo Brooks, Guiliani, trump jr. and others incite the crowd to walk to the Capitol building and "take back our country."

And we all know FBI agents and other LEOs are by and large republicans and trumpers and certainly wouldn't be working with antifa.
