Did CNN Report That Antifa ‘Claimed Responsibility’ for Storming Capitol Hill? Did a Facial Recognition Software Company Identify Antifa Members at the Capitol? No, and No

“A graphic has started to spread on social media, allegedly showing a CNN chyron reporting that Antifa was behind the attack on Congress on Wednesday.” It’s fake. Also “XRVision never actually identified Antifa members at the riot: The company’s attorney issued a statement to BuzzFeed decrying the Washington Times article as ‘outright false, misleading, and defamatory.’”

Discussion

…..is that there are a number of good reports where individual actors in the invasion/riot have been identified as Trump supporters and interestingly appear to be often cooperating with the FBI and police agencies. So even if a portion of the rioters WERE “Anti”-fa, that would not let the “pro-Trump” portion of the riots off the hook.

At least that was the response I gave at church when someone suggested it was a false flag/agents provocateurs kind of operation. Nope, bunch of people have fessed up, they were in the Capitol and were there to support Trump.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.

Here’s an article about Antifa, apparently under the impression that unless they hold a protest/riot, their brand will be ruined by association with the pro-Trump protest/riots. Suffice it to say that there would likely have been some visual hints that could have been traced if “Anti”-fa had been significantly involved.

Notice, by the way, that they’ve all got their matching garbage cans in the picture. Somebody’s doing a nice job of coordinating things. Would be interesting to figure out where, and you’d figure that after all the damage they’ve caused, somebody at the DOJ/FBI might be interested.
