(65,502 posts)1. Alex Jones was there, and he provided the funding for the location of Trump's speech.
He said most of the $500,000 was provided by a single big donor, so I am guessing Jones was a middleman.
He and his bullhorn were also at the Capitol, but I don't think he went inside.

(35,389 posts)5. In my working years I was on 3 long strikes once for a full year. Every time there were
a few loudmouths at the union hall that would get everyone fired up for a strike. Then when we were out on the street
those same people wouldn't even do picket duty. After we would lose a couple pay checks they would be the first people
that would blame the union for putting us on strike and demand we go back to work.
