Orange Beelzelbub Falsely Claims FBI and 'Antifa' were 'leading the charge' in his Capitol Insurrection

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 to—you 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. Nobody’s been treated ever in history so badly as those people,” he said.


Right.

That's why he should be awaiting trial from a cell.

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.
