Capitol Police'

A Trump-endorsed candidate for Arizona governor claimed that the Capitol rioters were "invited in by Capitol Police," appearing to push an unproven narrative that the riot was nonviolent.

"They haven't been charged with a crime, and they were invited in by Capitol Police," Kari Lake said during an interview with conservative news network RSBN at former President Donald Trump's Oct. 10 rally in Des Moines, Iowa.

The US Capitol Police Force was criticized for its handling of the Capitol riot after some officers were seen posing with rioters for selfies and moving barricades aside for the mob to move forward.

However, there is plenty of footage and records of officers' injuries to show how violent the breach of the Capitol building was. During a July 27 House select committee on Jan. 6, several Capitol officers testified to the racism and physical harm they experienced during the Jan. 6 riot.

Another idiot taking the "how stupid can you get?" challenge.

1. It boggles the damn mind.

2. One of my husbands nieces who lives in Arizona is convinced 1/6 was not real but filmed

On a sound stage. She also believes Biden is not a legitimate president. Her 3 other siblings are deep in the cult and unreachable. When we visit there I never talk politics. My mother in law their Grandmother also never talks politics because she wants to maintain a relationship with her grandchildren.

I know they’ve always been right wing but it’s even worst now and the fact she refuses to accept the reality of the January 6 coup is appalling.

Five Highlights of Kari Lake's Dark Path to Right-Wing Radicalization

Far-Right Social Media
So where's Lake getting this stuff? We've all heard stories about older family members who've fallen down the wormhole of right-wing misinformation online, only to emerge as a QAnon supporter or a COVID-denier. Lake seems to be living that spiral.

The former news anchor was an early adopter of Parler, a want-to-be Twitter favored by Trump supporters and right-wing extremists. The service lost its hosting following the attack on the U.S. Capitol after it couldn't reign in threats of violence on its platform, but Lake was undeterred. Along with many hardcore Trump supporters, she opened an account on Gab, an even more marginal site beloved by QAnon converts and neo-Nazis. Lake even appears to have paid $100 to the site for a yearly membership.

"Hope Gab is more civil than Twitter," she wrote in her first post on January 9.

There, Lake seems to have adopted an even looser standard for fact-checking, sharing articles from propaganda outlets like the Epoch Times.
