So it's a 'hoax' now, is it? Fucking hell that man needs locking up in a padded cell.

[-] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Why padded? Let him run into the walls.

Can somebody provide some context for this?

After the shitshow started going down, as orchestrated by High King von Shitzenpants, the feds sent some people in about it, since, you know, there was a mob attack going on at the Capitol, which is the sort of thing that generally draws the attention of law enforcement.

Thanks, I hadn't known about that. And this is a bad / controversial thing, why? (bad / controversial for the crazies on the right, at least)

Because if you ignore most details, you can go, "SEE THERE WERE FEDS IN THE CROWD ANTIFA ENTRAPMENT ANTIFA ENTRAPMENT" and pretend that you're still a good person, and get even madder at "the left" and "the deep state". See how right wing media reports this? A bombshell that there were plainclothes agents in the crowd during the riot - all technically true statements. You just don't mention that they showed up *in response to the active mob violence", and let your fans soak up that it was definitely a setup, based on the carefully curated truths and weasel words you give them.

This is old news, being recycled for maximum outrage.

Not certain I trust nypost as a source. Wikipedia doesn't trust them as a source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources

Don't really need much sources to believe trump is spouting off again, though.
