“The riot was started by Antifa.”

That is one of the biggest lies from the Big Lie campaign.

Lin Wood, Trump’s lawyer, claimed to have found proof. He tweeted a picture of two guys who had appeared on a web site called “phillyantifa.org” who were also photographed at the coup attempt. The photo went viral. The Republican Leader of the California Senate even retweeted it, blaming Anitifa.

Except that the page on phillyantifa.org was their page outing and sometimes doxxing neo-Nazis. One of the people Wood claimed was Antifa is Matthew Heimbach, a white supremacist neo-Nazi who is notorious enough to have his own Wikipedia page and his own private page on the Southern Poverty Law Center web site’s hatemonger section. Among his past offenses was to defend the violence by the neo-Nazi marchers in Charlottesville. Oh and if you read his Wikipedia page you will find that his personal life makes Trump’s look moral by comparison — he has multiple convictions for violent crimes and had an affari with his mother in law! The other person identified as Antifa is Jason Tankersley, a skinhead neo-Nazi with SS and swastika tatoos who has been the subject of TV news reports of his hatemongering in Maryland. A third person in the photo of the coup mob is Jake Angeli, a well known QAnon proponent who is a regular participant in pro-Trump demonstrations.

More and more people are being identified as being present at the rally and they are all either Trump supporters and/or members of hate groups that are so extreme that they find Trump excessively moderate. You did see the Camp Auschwitz guy right? And the 6 M W E guy? These people are coming for you. And you are encouraging them. 🙁
