Trump supporters who breached the Capitol: 'It was not Antifa'

Nearly a dozen Trump supporters charged in connection with the US Capitol insurrection have said that Antifa and other left-wing groups weren't involved in the attack, debunking a false-flag conspiracy theory that is gaining popularity in the pro-Trump orbit.

The baseless claim that left-wing infiltrators were responsible for the violent attack has been promoted by former President Donald Trump's impeachment lawyers, several GOP lawmakers and at least one speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference Friday morning.

Many of the alleged rioters facing charges also embraced this conspiracy. But according to a CNN review of court documents, nearly a dozen defendants have explicitly pushed back, saying that they and other Trump supporters deserve the credit for storming the Capitol -- not Antifa.

"There's a lot of memes and posts flying around saying that the people who were fighting last night were all Antifa provocateurs etc.," defendant Jose Padilla allegedly posted to Facebook one day after the January 6 attack. "I just want to say that as a first hand observer of every point of last night, that it was not Antifa. They were Patriots who were trying to Restore the Republic."

Another alleged Capitol rioter, Jonathan Mellis, posted, "Don't you dare try to tell me that people are blaming this on antifa and BLM. We proudly take responsibility for storming the Castle." He also used a vulgar term to imply that the left-wing groups were too cowardly to pull off an attack.

Padilla and Mellis are among the defendants that are charged with assaulting police officers in addition to misdemeanor trespassing offenses. Prosecutors say Mellis hit officers with a large stick, and that Padilla used a large metal Trump sign as a battering ram against the police line.

Neither of these men has entered a plea, and neither has a lawyer listed on the court docket.

Their comments undercut the baseless conspiracy that shifts the responsibility from Trump's most ardent supporters onto Trump's opponents. Even some prominent Republicans have disavowed the false-flag theory, but the narrative is alive and well in some GOP circles.

At least one speaker at CPAC this week promoted the lie, though he admitted that some Trump supporters participated in the Capitol assault. Conservative radio host Wayne Dupree said, "Antifa was there, BLM was there, MAGA people were there, everybody was there."

Wow, JP made a video about NuNativs!

Look in the mirror, ya whiny baby:
"It seems like "The Left" in the world always wins. That's why we WERE the last bastion of freedom in the world, and now since Fraudulent Elections is being institutionalized, we're going down, too. I know I'm cynical and pessimistic. I'm down to just trying to save my family now, my daughter and three sisters, from getting the vaccine. "

Face it - Masculinity and Lib men do not mesh. Because it's the Women Libs - aka known as Feminists - who have emasculated their Lib men. Also it's Lib Women who are in the process of Cutting Off Children's Sexual Organs - labeling the children 'trans' - and making it a crime for anyone to even suggest (case in point Rand Paul questioning Biden's Trans Assistant Health Secretary about Libs Condoning Cutting Off Children's Sexual Organs and the Libs taking Rand Paul to the woodshed, like he's the bad guy here!) the parents of the child should give permission to Ruin the Child's Life or even be informed

A freaking Crime against Humanity!
