You can't MAKE this kind of s------ up. But Trump sure can. And DOES:
Trump falsely claims FBI and Antifa were leading the charge in Capitol attack - The Independen via Yahoo
Ahead of the third anniversary of the January 6 Capitol riot, former [GUY] Trump baselessly cast blame on Antifa and the FBI as the main proponents of the attack.
By the way, there was Antifa, there was FBI, there were a lot of other people there too leading the charge, ...Trump said at a rally in Sioux, Center Iowa on Friday, 5 January.
... Trump also said at the campaign event that he believed the audience on January 6, 2021 was the biggest crowd, I believe, I ever spoke toyou never hear about that do you?
He then turned to the hostages ... referring to those arrested and charged for their actions on January 6. The J6 hostages, I call them. Nobodys been treated ever in history so badly as those people, he said.

OP
The lies being repeated endlessly are working. More people are believing them, or at least pretending to.

(55,129 posts)1. Trump is sowing confusion as an aid to his defense
That's why he should be awaiting trial from a cell.

Now we learn that Ashli Babbit was Antifa.

He's a bald faced liar, and these pronouncements will carry no evidentiary weight.

is a single dude... John Earle Sullivan was at the forefront of the Capitol Attack, a witness to the Babbitt shooting (he filmed it) and he himself claims to be ANTIFA adjacent.
IMHO, he's just a nutjob.
