Ron Johnson, Republican senator and Wisconsin's shame, suggested during a Senate hearing Tuesday that the MAGA mob that attacked the Capitol on January 6 on behalf of the twice-impeached thug were possibly "provocateurs" and "fake Trump protesters." It's a theory sparked by an absurd Federalist article, and we guess Johnson felt comfortable sharing it publicly because there's no sanity test for Senate membership.

Rational participants in reality have noticed that the pathetic insurrectionists arrested so far have all been enthusiastic supporters of the previous White House occupant. There's the QAnon shaman, the failed life coach, the Texas florist, and the former Army ranger and current member of the far-right Oath Keepers. Maybe they all went under deep cover just to embarrass Republicans who are willingly in the same political party with Ron Johnson.

The conspiracy continued Tuesday with more arrests of obvious MAGA goons. FBI agents arrested Philip Grillo at his girlfriend's home in Glen Oaks, Queens. According to federal prosecutors, Grillo was identified by the fancy Knights of Columbus jacket he wore inside the Capitol. Grillo apparently didn't see the point of keeping a low profile during his domestic terror activities.

Grillo uses the handle “The Republican Messiah" on Facebook (no one thought to stop him). He's also a Republican representative for Assembly District 24, which his Facebook page proudly calls "President Trump's Hometown District." Grillo's local paper, the Queens Daily Eagle, is less proud of the association and just refers to him as “Queens Man."
