Trump supporters who breached the Capitol: 'It was not Antifa'

[signalmankenneth]

Well Duh?!!

(CNN) Nearly a dozen Trump supporters charged in connection with the US Capitol insurrection have said that Antifa and other left-wing groups weren't involved in the attack, debunking a false-flag conspiracy theory that is gaining popularity in the pro-Trump orbit.

The baseless claim that left-wing infiltrators were responsible for the violent attack has been promoted by former President Donald Trump's impeachment lawyers, several GOP lawmakers and at least one speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference Friday morning.

Many of the alleged rioters facing charges also embraced this conspiracy. But according to a CNN review of court documents, nearly a dozen defendants have explicitly pushed back, saying that they and other Trump supporters deserve the credit for storming the Capitol -- not Antifa.

"There's a lot of memes and posts flying around saying that the people who were fighting last night were all Antifa provocateurs etc.," defendant Jose Padilla allegedly posted to Facebook one day after the January 6 attack. "I just want to say that as a first hand observer of every point of last night, that it was not Antifa. They were Patriots who were trying to Restore the Republic."

Another alleged Capitol rioter, Jonathan Mellis, posted, "Don't you dare try to tell me that people are blaming this on antifa and BLM. We proudly take responsibility for storming the Castle." He also used a vulgar term to imply that the left-wing groups were too cowardly to pull off an attack.

Padilla and Mellis are among the defendants that are charged with assaulting police officers in addition to misdemeanor trespassing offenses. Prosecutors say Mellis hit officers with a large stick, and that Padilla used a large metal Trump sign as a battering ram against the police line.

Aside from the hardcore militia leaders bent on murdering most of Congress and the Vice President, most of those who attacked and killed police and raided the Capitol were useful idiots.

Only the useful idiots really believe it was Antifa, several of which post on this forum. Unlike the useful idiots who attacked the Capitol, except for SmarterThanYou, all of the useful idiots on JPP are all mouth, no action. They are loud but harmless like squeaky mice.

Right Wing media doesn't care about the truth. They care about manipulating the truth to make the left look as bad as possible.

Ever notice how many times the right wing media mentions the Left? It's a 24/7 assault. And every chance they get to lie or misrepresent the truth, they do.
The end justifies the means according to them. They've been making shit up about the Dems and Left for 30 years. They won't stop now, although they should because it's clearly not working as the Republicans have won the popular vote in only one of the last eight presidential elections.
They need to find a new strategy because the 24/7 bashing of the left just isn't working and Americans are tired of hearing the same old Socialism scare tactic.

It's as if they've run out of ideas. They have to lambast and vilify the left in order to get Americans to vote for them and if you can't extol the virtues of your party to win voters and have to constantly bash your opponent, you clearly have little to offer.

Inversion fallacy. You are describing CNN, MSNBC, and NPR. It's a 24/7 bashing of Trump and any of his supporters, just like YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW.
