More terrifying is there are elements of the military or former military that ascribe to that line of thinking. Like these two National Guardsmen that had to be removed because of ties to White Supremacist militia groups

I really wish the crazy right would lean more into this narrative. Right now they are clearly having their cake and eating it too by both saying it was antifa and martyring those arrested which of course makes no sense. But at least if we all just pretend to agree it was antifa we could have the worst idiots turned on by their own which would be great.

Couy Griffin, the leader of Cowboys for Trump and arrested yesterday, well actually he was antifa and a personal member of Biden's pedo ring.

Jennifer Ryan with her personal jet pleading for a Trump pardon, well you know where else this antifa member used the plane to fly to? Epstein's island.

Tim Gionet, AKA Baked Alaska, well his far-right media personality was just an act to make the right look bad and anyone who still follows him is falling for a left-wing actor.

All of the Oath Keepers who have warrants out for their arrest, you guessed it, antifa but the oath they made is to Satan. If you pick up arms for them, you hate Jesus.

Any of our American members here able to report on security around their state capital buildings? Hope there's enhanced protection as the actual grounds in DC are going to be so tightly protected, ever-loyal Trumpists even after what happened may turn to their local capital buildings instead.

I am not here to defend Fox...but unless I am missing something, she is quoting what the far right groups are saying...not what she is saying.

There is enough real trash on fox that we need to quote out of context to make a point...

Well, the context would be that the report doesn’t actually say that and this would be about the millionth far-right conspiracy theory Bartiromo has spread (dominion voting, trump winning the election, etc).

So, I believe this qualifies as “real trash” and you might be the one who has taken it out of context.

You have to remember we're not talking about FOX News, we're talking about FOX Business. FOX Business is where the too crazy for FOX News people go (and believe it or not there is such a standard). Although apparently Maria is not quite that crazy anymore (or FOX News is leaning into even crazier ####) because she's getting bumped to the big network soon, taking over the 7pm EST timeslot.

The only thing I know about Maria Bartiromo is that Joey Ramone wrote a song about her.

They became friends. She bought the handwritten lyrics later on

Ricky Schroder must be mortified by this development. Pillow guy, too.

Yep, you're missing something. The report, linked below, states QAnon members were discussing posing as National Guard members. It says nothing about antifa. That was injected into the mix by Bartiromo, as suggested. So she is saying exactly what she is being accused of saying and is spreading disinformation.

wonder how many rioters are freaking out today.
I bet more than a few who were arrested really did feel they'd get some sort of pardon before trump left.
reality will really set in for them today.

Very sly in how she sliced that in there...crazy. I'm that case the outrage is clearly warranted.

The Trumper that has the office next to mine sat down for a political gripe session the other day and her argument was that Lin Wood and Sidney Powell are actually liberals pretending to be conservatives so they can lose lawsuits on purpose. And that it means the 1-59 record for Trump election lawsuits is fake news.

Also, she saw someone in the Capital crowd with a green laser light and she knows that is an Antifa tactic which means it was all instigated by Antifa. The crazy part is she is a good analyst I trust on work stuff. But the amount of bat-sh#t crazy stuff she says regarding politics makes me want to barf.

You should tell her that. I am being serious.

Clearly no one in her life is questioning her or challenging her to think critically.

no he shouldn't. that's not something a coworker should do.
All that would do is create a toxic workplace and would make him a target.

people like that are not going to be swayed by a "libtard" challenging them.

the smart thing is to do what he did. Have his own personal opinion on the matter and keep his mouth shut.

I must be the libtard in my office then. Because I do this daily.
