    I missed the ANTIFA riots.

    Conspiracy theories paint fraudulent reality of Jan. 6 riot

    Several different conspiracy theories have emerged in the year since the insurrection, according to an analysis of online content by media intelligence firm Zignal Labs on behalf of The Associated Press. Unfounded claims that the rioters were members of antifa went viral first, only to be overtaken by a baseless claim blaming FBI operatives.

      Pretty sure they were referring to the protests in LA, Portland, etc. which conservative propaganda has successfully painted as “riots.”

      Jan 6 was almost 6 years ago, and these people are talking about the current regime.
