Questions for your Trumper friends who insist yesterday was brought to us by Antifa [View all]

1. Were those Antifa members masquerading as Trump supporters at the rally where Trump spoke?

2. If they were Antifa, how did they fool Trump into thinking they were his supporters. Is he that naive and stupid? Are his event planners that incompetent?

3. Were there any Trump supporters there or were they all Antifa? How do you tell them apart?

4. If they weren't Antifa members, when did Antifa show up? Were they the ones who marched from the rally to Capitol? If so, how come the Trump people didn't notice them when they showed up and started marching?

5. If it wasn't Antifa who marched to the Capitol, at what point did the Trump supporters disperse and Antifa members took their place? During the march? When they arrived at the Capitol?

6. Where did all the Trump supporters go after Antifa replaced them in the crowds?

And if they're still sticking to their story ...

7. If it was Antifa and not Trump supporters who did this, how is it that a confirmed Trump supporter get shot by Capitol Police while climbing through broken glass trying to get into the Speaker's Lobby? What was she doing there, how did she get into the Capitol and why was she in a mob of Antifa members? And how did Capitol Police know to shoot her and not Antifa members who were pretending to be Trump supporters? How much does it suck for you that of all of those thousands of Antifa members at the Capitol, the only person who got shot was a Trump supporter.

8. And, finally, several people claiming to be Trump supporters posed for selfies and other photos in various offices, Statuary Hall, and on the House and Senate floor and posted the online. If they weren't really Trump supporters but were Antifa members pretending to be Trumpers, has anyone been able to identify them? Have the real Trump supporters they are impersonating come forward to proclaim they were not anywhere near the scene?

Hopefully, by the time you get through these questions, they will either have given up or their heads will have exploded because the logic can't survive the empty vacuums of their brains.

All the people identified-named in the break & enter invasion are tRumpissers. Bernardo de La Paz Jan 2021 #7
Yeah, but that's because the Deep State targeted them while ignoring the Antifa people StarfishSaver Jan 2021 #10
Ball is in their court. Let them identify antifa invading the Capitol. They can't. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jan 2021 #13
They don't need to. It's on us to prove they were Trump supporters StarfishSaver Jan 2021 #14
