Quote:For those watching closely though, this wasn’t a surprise. The same conspiracies and lies that fueled the mob on Wednesday began in the dark corners of the internet, found their way to major social platforms and were repeated by mainstream conservative outlets. The conspiracies were funneled to a president who was already inclined to believe them and spread them across his social accounts, creating a loop of false and dangerous information that fed on itself.https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/07/facebook...lence.html
Those lies continued even after the riot. Almost as soon as the mob breached the Capitol, conspiracy theorists postulated online that the people who stormed the building weren’t Trump supporters, but liberal activists posing as Trump backers. In a matter of hours, that message made it from Twitter to the floor of the House of Representatives, when Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., made the same false claim in his comments objecting to the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s election. He backed up his assertions by citing reports from a bogus facial recognition company that claimed it identified antifa members in the mob.
B-mine. Tell me there won't be another attempt in the next few weeks - there could be another attempt in a few hours.
