Trump supporters falsely claim a far-right activist at the US Capitol is actually a member of 'A****a.'
Jake Angeli, an infamous far-right activist from Arizona, was pictured as part of the mob that assaulted the US Capitol on Wednesday.
On social media, other far-right activists tried to claim he was actually a liberal or part of "A****a."
They did so by posting a photo of him at a Black L***s M****r protest in Tempe, Arizona, neglecting the fact that he was counter-protesting. Hohoho. It is in the details.
Jake Angeli is a far-right activist who loves Donald Trump and appearing in public without a shirt and posing as a viking.
On far-right social media, however, the man from Arizona -- pictured with a mob of Trump supporters at the US Capitol on Wednesday -- is being falsely portrayed as a supporter of a Black L***s M****r, a movement he opposes, as part of a conspiracy theory, stoked by at least one Fox News anchor, that blames the violence in Washington on anti-f*****ts.
"Paid actor and was at the B*M march in Arizona last year," one man claimed on Twitter.
"This 'patriot' led the way in the DC R**t," claimed the administrator of a far-right Facebook group in New Mexico.
"This guy is from Arizona. Here is a photo I took of him at the Temple B*M march in June," another woman tweeted, quoting a left-wing Arizona activist, her post retweeted some 18,000 times and receiving over 27,000 likes.
Angeli was indeed at a Black L***s M****r protest. The problem for far-right conspiracy theorists is that he was there to protest the protest. Indeed, he is a crank himself.
As the Arizona Republic reported, the 32-year-old Angeli is "a Q***n supporter who has been a fixture at Arizona right-wing political rallies over the past year." Back home, he is a fixture at the Arizona State Capitol building, "shouting about various conspiracy theories."
As Insider's Rachel E. Greenspan noted earlier in the day, that dedication has earned him the moniker, "Q Shaman." A****a he is not.
The episode could be dismissed with a laugh, had the broader claim - that A****a was responsible rather than the president's own supporters - not already being introduced into mainstream discourse by members of Congress, such as Rep. Matt Gaetz, who was applauded by House Republicans for his conspiratorial deflection.
Kate Starbird, an expert on disinformation at the University of Washington, explained what's coming on the far right: "They'll ask their followers to ignore what they saw with their own eyes (and some of what they experienced and perpetrated themselves)... and believe another alternative reality."

The brave patriots suddenly don't want to be identified as the morons trashing the Capitol...............................not realizing they had already outed themselves with their social media accounts. There were no outraged claims of infiltration DURING the r**t.
