Did the liberal media think we wouldn’t notice their plastic surgery done to their January 6 narrative? We apologize because it’s a long and exhausting story about mass trespassing at the Capitol. The media framed it as worse than the 9/11 terror attacks. The Left whipped out the history books, an unusual activity because they have zero grasp on the subject, and went down the list of notable national tragedies. From the American Civil War to Pearl Harbor, the January 6 riot paled compared to the Black Lives Matter activists burning down half the country during the summer of 2020. To liberal America, that day was an armed rebellion, an insurrection, and an act of treason perpetrated by then-President Trump and his supporters.

No one cared after a week, except for liberal newsrooms. Americans didn’t tune into the primetime hearings—they were too busy worrying about paying the bills since inflation has exploded under Biden. A host of socioeconomic issues, including public safety, preoccupied the minds of the American voter, not this little riot. But the Left couldn’t let the ‘insurrection’ narrative go until Ray Epps sued

Epps was the man caught on multiple videos declaring they should storm the Capitol, which was drowned out by crowds chanting, “Fed.” He’s been the poster child for the narrative that undercover federal agents were in the crowd. Ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson made him a household name, which he alleges ruined his life. Epps’ lawsuit follows the network’s $787 million settlement with Dominion Systems, the election machine manufacturing company at the center of the 2020 rigging theories. So, the ‘enemy of my enemy is my friend’ protocol has been activated within lefty newsrooms because the January 6 insurrection is no longer called that.

Incredibly, the mainstream media have picked Epps as their pet protester, writing fawning treatments of this misunderstood man. For some reason, Epps is the only Trump supporter and J6 attendee that they’re willing to support. It’s unclear why.

But with news of Epps’ lawsuits and the possibility that he really may face J6 charges, a story which, oddly, only surfaced with news of the lawsuit, the media have done an about-face on their pet protester and now refer to January 6 as “demonstrations,” “protests,” and Epps as a “protester,” “scapegoat,” and any notions that he could be a “Fed! Fed! Fed!” are dismissed as a “right-wing conspiracy theory.”

Epps’ attorney is a former Perkins Coie lawfare lawyer who now hangs a shingle in Wilmington, Del. He was one of the attorneys who brought the lawsuit against Fox News for “defaming” Dominion Voting Systems.

Mr. Epps says he expects to be charged for his role on January 6. I'll believe it when I see it. The FBI denying he’s an asset is worthless since they were caught lying about spying on school board meetings and the serial overreach they engaged in during the counterintelligence probe into Trump being a Russian agent. They illegally spied on people, and from this week’s hearing in front of the House Judiciary Committee, FBI Director Chris Wray divulged that the FBI was obtaining the private banking records of gun owners without a warrant. Oh, and he fumbled whether he knew about undercover agents present in the crowd on January 6.

Excuse the world if It doesn’t believe a hyper-political FBI, whose only aim appears to be going after Republicans and protecting Democrats, or the media establishment, whose credibility has been irreparably stained by the Russian collusion hoax, who peddle the bureau’s statements as gospel

The FBI said in a statement to "60 Minutes" in April, "Ray Epps has never been an FBI source or an FBI employee."

Epps reveals in his civil suit that he expects to face criminal charges for his role in the mob at the Capitol. The suit said, "In May 2023, the Department of Justice notified Epps that it would seek to charge him criminally for events on January 6, 2021 – two-and-a-half years later. The relentless attacks by FOX and Mr. Carlson and the resulting political pressure likely resulted in the criminal charges."
