Antifa did not participate in the insurrection at the Capitol yesterday. Just another right-wing lie. I am waiting for them to say George Soros paid for their transportation.
Antifa achieved a mythic stature in Trump’s America, serving as a whipping boy for the president.

In reality, Antifa is not a well-structured organization, but rather a loosely organized, secretive movement of like-minded far-left activists like Nicole https://t.co/qdr7FDMSpQ pic.twitter.com/KeBBp5u0aa
Analysis: No, there’s no substantive evidence that the Capitol riot was spurred by antifa https://t.co/aRRv8lFry1

"The rioters were incited by a 'big lie,' that the election was stolen from Trump. Now the same liars are pushing the next 'big lie,' that this was a false-flag by Antifa. It's endless. It's relentless. It's shameless," @MarshallCohen writes https://t.co/6lVSrA6UZS

It is Soviet-level disinformation to claim people who marched directly from a Trump rally to the Capitol at his public urging, photographed & live-streamed their exploits, & bragged to reporters were actually part of one big false flag operation. There is no bottom to the lies

Rep. Matt Gaetz and other GOP politicians baselessly suggest antifa is to blame for pro-Trump mob rioting into Capitol https://t.co/gM5sRjO77k

I asked Fox News multiple times about claims that were made on its air and by its personalities suggesting Antifa was perhaps responsible for the mayhem at the US Capitol. Absolute silence. Zero response from the network’s PR team.

Matt Gaetz is on the House floor now blaming antifa for the riots on the Capitol, to applause. Just in case there was question about today fundamentally changing things for House Republicans.

Basically, the Fox line tonight is that somehow this was probably Antifa. So maybe they ought to go talk to that loser who was in Pelosi’s office, from Arkansas, and see if he is secretly an antifa guy

Extremist pro-Trump forums spent weeks prepping for people to storm the Capitol. The president told them for days to come. They flew in. They said if they don't overturn the election, they will move on the Capitol.

Explicitly. Repeatedly.
Now it's somebody else? These are lies. https://t.co/6Diq0TK9Oy
Everyone should expect "the rioters were Antifa" to become a standard talking point on the far right. A way to excuse what happened. It's already begun https://t.co/qfCO0CXqOe
