No proof of who they were or their intent. The individuals that broke the law need to be held accountable. The rest is divisive opinion statements that are not news.

This was incitement with lies posted at the top of your broadcast! There were no capture/assassins and you wrote the opposite of the truth here!

Wow...now no direct evidence!!! Wonder who is really behind this!!

The Trump admin. Says they were just there for a tailgate party and everyone got a little rowdy. No big deal. Sarcasm

So catch they asses?!?

Then there is this Confession of a paid protestor SecretService FBI seanhannity marklevinshow PressSec CNN FoxNews if any of you care

opposing statements in the same tweet cmon npr try harder

That's because it would be capture/kill. 🙄

there is evidence, its on what's called film.

Oh ignore the reports that pelosi has ties to the “mob”. The tours the day before.

The fact that these same people said Kapernick was disrespectful

Oh that’s bullshit. What happened ? You’re garbage now. fuck

Can we see this evidence?

Some of those people in that photo are registered democrats. Exactly how can they be Trump Extremist? Aaron Mostofsy is the son of a Democratic Supreme Court Judge. He is the one who is in the pelt coat! He was there with two antifia members.

The Conservative party? Lol

Bullshit

Those zip ties must be friendship bracelets huh?

Pro-Trump Terrorists* attacked the U.S. Capital last week

It's going to come out that Trump wanted this, so in the confusion of both Senate/house and Vice president being assassinated he could declare martial law and continue to remain president indefinitely. (In Trump's mind, this is how he see this happening,)

Am I missing something? The link is to an article saying there is no direct evidence to what this post is claiming.

Why does your headline directly contradict the headline of the article you're quote-tweeting?

Is it true there were Dems masquerading as Republicans to attack the capitol in an attempt to make it look like republicans? Just a story circulating that they have arrested democrats pretending to be republicans and stormed the capitol. Just curious if there's any truth to that.

It's fun to make up and say stuff. The media loves it. Proving it is another story.

Your story and headline are complete opposites. Way to really stir up bullshit now

Yeah, I’m sure the dude with zip ties just wanted to make sure all the computer wires were tidy

It is White privilege. They say 'We are losing our country.' White nationalism has no place in this country. White folks are immigrants from Europe via their ancestors who came w/out lands & in exile. These lands are ours - Native People. Our lands. Remember where you came from!

Solid circumstantial evidence of intent right there to harm Pence. A direct threat. But now the Feds are hemming and hawing; walking it back, saying that there is 'no direct evidence'. What's the point of sugarcoating this like that?

And still there are folks comparing this to BLM... 😩

Trump has lost his ability to pardon these criminals The constitution states He shall have power to grant reprieves and offenses against the United States Except in cases of Impeachment So any crimes related to Impeachment Cannot be pardoned

BANKRUPTtheTRUMPS and ALL who supported them at any time. Accountability is key! No GOP walk backs allowed. 😠

You mean Antifa leftist crisis actors? There were no Trump supporters in the capitol last week

AOC wasnt wrong. fk all you rats

These “rioters” claim the back the blue and that they’re “law-abiding citizens.” They can’t claim this now. People like the “Camp Auschwitz” guy had an extensive criminal record.

Prison for them all

‘No 'direct evidence' of plot to kidnap or kill lawmakers in U.S. Capitol attack: Justice Department official’. Contradictory information this way comes.

They need to focus on the ones that really intended on killing. This guy is a joke and loves the attention.

Ill fix it for you. Pro-Trump terrorists who attacked the Capitol last week...

When NPR has gone full propaganda

They let this guy out? What?

Lies. Wasn’t a trumper that’s for sure. Funny how you pretend to have ‘standards ‘ when a patriot posts anything but will allow threats and hate speech and porno and all other leftist agendas

So a note saying 'justice is coming' is a call to capture and assassinate people? Lol

BS. If that was their intention, they could have done it.

Of course because they are all failed traitors of our nation, who were paid by foreigners for their airline tickets, hotel stays and food to take over our government. It's a lot cheaper to pay a failed person a few hundred bucks then to have a military you support. therealenemy

I have every confidence that this narrative will fall apart and even more confidence that y'all will keep pushing it anyway.

Look at their sources of information. They're being misled. The election wasn't stolen.

It's been coming for a very long time. People are sick and tired of being sick and tired

JohnMccusker19 blue-checks will neutralize the language, to appease their bad-actor bosses.

These are the law-and-order folks who follow the law-and-order POTUS

yet most arrested are now at home resting and waiting to try some more dumb shit and it will be who fault

ALL these weirdos live in a fantasy land thanks to Hollywood and drugs! They had already reported that at least 25% of people were mentally ill BEFORE COVID19 (I thought way more) so GOP TheDemocrats should have known this. I say DID KNOW this &each used to their advantage!

This was obviously a planned attack on our democracy. How come these terrorists organizations are not being taken down like we did with Isis, Al-Qaeda, and MS-13? Instead, we will allow them to “peacefully”protest the steal of the election. DC looks like a war zone right now!

Until my dying day I will not understand how our system of law and order failed so spectacularly and allowed this to happen. There were 5 years of specific and implied warnings along with an immeasurable amount intent posted all over the internet.

Why are you not covering the fact that many have been outed (in Court no less) for their involvement in BLM and Antifa?

And IvankaTrump called these people “patriots”

Liberal mobs could not breech the Supreme Court. BLM bent on destruction could not breech the White House. But rednecks dressed like cartoon characters breech the Capitol. Keep spinning your bullshit.

And the GOP wants to say “ignore this, find unity”. No. First the law needs to hold them responsible.

I grew up during civil rights tensions and Vietnam and saw many riots on US soil. But not an armed force taking over the Capitol and terrorizing Members of Congress. In fact, no one had since the War of 1812. This was no riot. This was an attack on the nation and Constitution.

And trump said- “we love you”

Oh, get real! I'm throwing the BS flag! 🤮

What’s next? Secret poisoning? Isn’t that Putin’s current favorite attack on political enemies?

Absolute lies, they’re capturing antifa too knuckle heads. Really disappointed in your sloppy journalism

But one or two were just cosplaying. Like this ding dong gladiator

These are white supremacist domestic terrorists.

Shocking

Prosecutors say a handwritten note was left for Vice President Mike Pence, reading: 'It's only a matter of time, justice is coming.' It was left at the spot where, moments earlier, Pence had been poised to preside over a joint session to certify President-elect Biden's victory.
