Trump 2 wks ago: "I think we're going to have to find out about Ray Epps." [View all]
...today he pardoned Ray Epps, who was a favorite target of maga propagandists who insisted he was a federal agent along with their claims that it was actually 'antifa' who had rioted on Jan. 6 at the Capitol.

Two weeks ago, Trump promised to "find out about Ray Epps," the focus of a long list of Jan. 6 conspiracy theories. Yesterday, Trump pardoned Ray Epps for all conduct related to Jan. 6.

...this should be a hoot over at maga central, but it's actually more important to recognize that this lie flew around for years, right up until the President of the United States attempted to spread it further 2 weeks ago.
I'm not interested in people responding that 'that's the way he is' or what did you expect' or anything dismissive. He needs to be called out on these obvious and demagogic lies designed to deflect blame and responsibility away from him and his treasonous band of supporters for their violent insurrection.
If Epps was what Trump and his followers have been accusing him of, why the pardon?
