Following the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol, many have scrambled to distance themselves from involvement in the tumultuous event that spawned the mob
“Members of President Donald Trump’s failed presidential campaign played key roles in orchestrating the Washington rally that spawned a deadly assault on the U.S. Capitol, according to an Associated Press review of records, undercutting claims the event was the brainchild of the president’s grassroots supporters. ...
“[A]n attachment to the National Park Service public gathering permit granted to the group lists more than half a dozen people in staff positions for the event who just weeks earlier had been paid thousands of dollars by Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign. Other staff scheduled to be ‘on site’ during the demonstration have close ties to the White House. ...
“At least one was working for the Trump campaign this month. Megan Powers was listed as one of two operations managers for the Jan. 6 event, and her LinkedIn profile says she was the Trump campaign’s director of operations into January 2021. ...
“Caroline Wren, a veteran GOP fundraiser, is named as a ‘VIP Advisor’ on an attachment to the permit that Women for America First provided to the agency. Between mid-March and mid-November, Donald J. Trump for President Inc. paid Wren $20,000 a month, according to Federal Election Commission records. During the campaign, she was a national finance consultant for Trump Victory, a joint fundraising committee between the president’s re-election campaign and the Republican National Committee. ... Wren was involved in at least one call before the pro-Trump rally with members of several groups listed as rally participants to organize credentials for VIP attendees ...
“Maggie Mulvaney, a niece of former top Trump aide Mick Mulvaney, is listed on the permit attachment as the ‘VIP Lead.’ She worked as director of finance operations for the Trump campaign, according to her LinkedIn profile. FEC records show Maggie Mulvaney was earning $5,000 every two weeks from Trump’s re-election campaign, with the most recent payment reported on Nov. 13. ...
“Justin Caporale is listed on the Women for America First paperwork as the event’s project manager. He’s identified as a partner with Event Strategies Inc., a management and production company. Caporale, formerly a top aide to first lady Melania Trump, was on the Trump campaign payroll for most of 2020, according to the FEC records, and he most recently was being paid $7,500 every two weeks. ...
“Tim Unes, the founder and president of Event Strategies, was the ‘stage manager’ for the Jan. 6 rally, according to the permit paperwork. Unes has long-standing ties to Trump, a connection he highlights on his company’s website. Trump’s presidential campaign paid Event Strategies $1.3 million in 2020 for ‘audio visual services,’ according to the campaign finance records. ...
“Another person with close ties to the Trump administration, Hannah Salem, was the rally’s ‘operations manager for logistics and communications,’ according to the permit paperwork. In 2017, she took a hiatus from the consulting firm she founded and spent three years as senior White House press aide, ‘executing the media strategy for President Trump’s most high-profile events,’ according to her company bio and LinkedIn profile.”
Hi JD, I Wanted to comment on the cold-blooded murder in the Capitol. Video evidence shows Ashli Babbit, a US Vet, along with a group of protesters at the Capitol were let in, they were unarmed and the shot was fired by someone inside the Capitol whose life was NOT in danger, nor was he protecting anyone. This is murder. George Floyd, an ex-con who was murdered, caused our cities to be burned…
We all know that Maxine Waters is an idiot but this is next level stupid. We already know what would have happened if BLM resorted to those kind of actions because they have been doing exactly that (except much, much worse) for literally months and I guess Maxine Waters was too stupid to notice.
What would happen is they would be praised and protected by the media and absolute garbage people like her. Because that’s what did happen. I didn’t know it was possible for me to dislike this woman more than I already did.
So it turns out AOC wasn’t even in the capitol building when it was stormed. She was in a building that was like three miles away and wasn’t around for any of it. The building she was in was never approached by the protesters. And she is telling everyone that she was “nearly killed” that day. She has publicly accused people like Ted Cruz of being a murderer who “almost got her killed” when she was never in any danger and was not even in the location that the event took place.
I used to giver her the benefit of the doubt and think that she was a person who was just an unbearably annoying idiot and she is, but she’s also a slimy little liar. She’s a stupid liar.
She was not almost killed. She was not even there. And she knows that.
I don’t recall twitter or facebook banning any left wing or blm activists for their violent riots that took place for the better part of last year or any of the politicians who supported and encouraged them.
Someone actually asked you if we wanted to rape Nancy Pelosi??? If that isn't prima facie proof of insanity, I don't know what is. No one should ever do that much MSLSD...

For real. The things these people come up with are just ridiculous. They act like this capitol event is the most dangerous protest we’ve had in the last 12 months and do everything they can to blow it out of proportion. Pelosi and AOC weren’t even the targets and acting like they were going to be raped is the dumbest thing ever.

NEW YORK — A federal judge has sentenced former New York Police Department officer Thomas Webster to 10 years in prison for assaulting officers outside the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot.
The sentence is the longest prison term yet for a defendant in the Justice Department’s criminal investigation of Jan. 6, but short of the 17.5 years prosecutors had sought for Webster.
