DISINFO: Antifa provocateurs were behind the storming of the Capitol
SUMMARY
The storming of the United States Capitol on 6 January 2021 was set up by the Democratic Party with the help of Antifa provocateurs who attracted Donald Trump and some of his supporters in a trap.
The whole event benefits the Democratic Party who wants to give a violent image of Donald Trump and his supporters. In the best case, the investigation will prove that provocateurs were among the rioters, in the worst it might be hidden to the public.
RESPONSE
A recurrent narrative about the violent events at the US Capitol on 6 January 2021.
No evidence is provided except the argument "who benefits" (cui bono).
There is no evidence that anyone organized protests to discredit President Trump. In fact, the president himself encouraged attendees of his "Save America Rally" before the siege to head to the Capitol to demonstrate against President-elect Joe Biden's victory. The crowd chanted "Fight for Trump" at the end of the speech. Many people arrested in relation to the siege are connected to, for instance, QAnon and the Proud Boys, organizations openly supporting President Trump.
The investigation about the events is currently being conducted. Some early elements show that the security forces have been unprepared and overwhelmed whereas some demonstrators were well-prepared.
