DISINFO: The events at the Capitol were a provocation against Trump
SUMMARY
The deadly incidents at the Capitol on January 6 with demonstrators entering the building were not provoked by supporters of President Trump. It was antifascists and members of the Antifa movement who should be held accountable for what happened. This was a provocation against President Trump.
RESPONSE
Disinformation about the storming of the US Capitol building, on 6 January, 2020.
It has been well documented both in US media and by official US sources that it was not Antifa supporters who stormed the Capitol building on January 6. On the contrary, hundreds of President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, battling police in the hallways and delaying the certification of Democratic President-elect Joe Biden’s victory for hours. The events at the Capitol were not a provocation against President Trump. This is easily proven by a series of stories in mainstream US media, like here.
