Thursday on failed propaganda outlet CNN, House Select Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) claimed they have evidence to back up everything presented during last night’s hearing on their investigation into the breach of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
When asked what he felt was the biggest news from the hearings, Thompson said, “A lot of the organizing aspect of January 6.”
Anchor Jake Tapper said, “The Proud Boys, The Oath Keepers.”
Thompson said, “That is right, offline. You know we saw them in the midst of the insurrection, but we didn’t see what they were doing organizationally before. So we showed the meeting on [January 5] in the parking lot with a group they normally don’t.”
Asked if there were “going to be witnesses that describe actual conversations between these extremist groups and anyone in Trump’s orbit?” Thompson said, “Yes. Obviously, you’ll have to go through the hearings, but we have a number of witnesses who come forward that people have not talked to before. It will document a lot of what was going on in Trump’s orbit while all of this was occurring.
Fact checks: 1) The Proud Boys and The Oath Keepers are patriot groups, not “extremist groups,” but the Left considers patriots to be domestic terror threats; 2) there was no “insurrection,” and Trump did not even attempt to incite one. He specifically called for peaceful protests. That’s not good enough for Bennie Thompson and his radicals-in-arms, who demand nothing less than the imprisonment or execution of their most fearsome political opponent.
