WATCH What Happens When 2 White Guys Go Undercover At The Sedition MAGA Riot

Vloggers Walter Masterson and J.P. Scattini went undercover at the StopTheSteal rally to make what they thought was a comedy video, but it soon turned far darker and scarier in real time.

Vloggers Walter Masterson and J.P. Scattini went undercover at the StopTheSteal rally to make what they thought was a comedy video, but it soon turned far darker and scarier in real time.

They put an OAN marker on their microphone, donned a Trump flag, Trump hats and flag masks, and started interviewing people. It didn't take them long to realize they were on the edge of an angry, misinformed mob. By the time that mob had broken into the Capitol, they realized this was no ordinary rally, there wasn't anything funny about it, and they needed to get the hell out of there.

On the way, people volunteered to give them their videos because they actually thought they were with OAN.

"They've been fed so much misinformation. These are people who are telling me that Fox is liberal propaganda," Scattini says at the end.

I've have been reading Democratic underground since it first came on line. I am finally posting something (getting my toes in the water) These two men have some guts ,I commend them. I am posting now because things have got way out of hand and it is scary I always knew they were out there. trump has lit the fire of racism and the list goes on. I hope he goes to prison or at least go's broke. I hope to post many more and make some friends as well. .

It's going to take some real bravery and intelligence on the part of our leaders to combat this problem without dividing the country further. trump has managed to put a bunch of fringe groups together in a single cult purpose. Yes trump, a man who isn't worth giving the time of day has managed to make these people think he is something. The emperor has no clothes yet these people walk around with blinders on looking for a news company that just parrots disinformation. We're in trouble.

As important as rolling out vaccinations as quickly as humanly possible. Completely dismantling these groups. A whole lot of FBI, ATF and other group's "people hours" are going to be spent doing just that. The only analog I can think of this morning is Justice cracking the 5 families. But 30%+ of the American populous weren't emotionally attached to the Mafia. Not going to be easy, but it's got to be done.

These guys did a service for sure but just how long do you think it will take the traitors and fellow travelers of traitors to latch onto this and use it to confirm their narrative of "Antifa" were undercover and are totally to blame? I can hear it now Hannity and Carlson screaming it into the void that is the magrat universes belief system.

These guys are brave.

The people they talked to are scary. And, there are so many of them. When you consider that this was a Wednesday, that means these people had to make an effort to be there and take off work, not to mention the travel etc.

Those people they're mingling with are far dumber than the average Nuremberg crowd, but no less dedicated to their cause. They could have both been seriously hurt or killed. Leave it to the professionals, fellas.

But if we're going to bring our country back to sanity, maybe we need to have the courage of these comedy guys.

America, with all of its ideals, flaws, and complications, has given us a relatively easy and prosperous way of life. I think it's time to quit leaving it to the professionals who let the Maga insanity fester and step up and just speak truth to power.

I think it's time to ask what we can do for our country so we have a country worth giving to our children.

I was a little surprised that they'd never been exposed to it, or say they claimed.

What's radio like in Brooklyn? Don't they get right-wing idiotic lies all of the time too?

And they were aware of OAN, so what type of people did they expect as the OAN audience?

Edit: Those kinds of people aren't too unusual in my area, so their insanity didn't shock me very much. They usually make be DREAD going to work because I'm pretty much guaranteed to encounter them as coworkers. I'd prefer to work totally alone, mostly because of them.

To see how these guys were genuinely shaken tells the story. The country has a huge task ahead of it. Honestly, until we kill the poison ivy at the roots it will be an ongoing problem. As much as I believe in the first amendment, there has to be accountability. Lies and conspiracy theories are killing our Democracy.

Those two had guts, and I hope they are OK afterwards. Also hope they sent everything to the FBI.
This glimpse of the death cult is very sobering.
Thank you for posting it, and thanks to the two who made it.

Pelosi sent it to the Senate. trump told them in Oct 2020 that he would make sure they were federally recognized. When the bill was sent to the senate, It was referred to committee on 11/17/20.


Lumbee tribe from NC and we've been trying to get federally recognized and it went through everything and Pelosi turned it down.

So you're a 1st nations Native American tribe in full support of trump.

Yes we are. Our county is the biggest county in NC, Roberson County and we're all Native Americans and it used to be Democtrac but this year it went all red. And he actually made a trip to Roberson county and he said, to hiself, I will get you guys federally recognized.

We're excited about that, even though Pelosi knocked it down right now we're still hopeful. As many of us who could come up here from NC to support him, that's what were gonna do.

Fantastic. How has Covid affected your tribe at all

Well our numbers in NC are high and the reason they're is is because NC, lovely people, to get food, um boxed food they have to get in a line, in their cars and get tested for Covid before they can get food. SO that's making out Covid numbers go up in our state. Because more people need food. A lot of people around there don't have, they're not, they don't have a lot of jobs there, so there's a lot of people who have to go in those lines and get food.

So a medicare for all plan that wouldn't help your tribe at all?

It would

Medicare for all will actually help you?

Yes and if we became federally recognized, we would have that. We don't really want a casino, which that's what they think we want.
But we don't. We just want what is available for the Native Americans under the act. The Native American Act
