So the guy interviewing Epps and calling him a FED gets arrested, how convenient

The tweet referred to a video that showed Epps surrounded by a much younger crowd. Epps declares, “Tomorrow, we need to go into the Capitol! Into the Capitol!”

Someone yells: “What? No!”

Epps responds: “Peacefully!”

In response, far-right social media personality Tim “Baked Alaska” Gionet — who had been interviewing Epps for a live stream — starts to lead the crowd in a chant of “Fed! Fed! Fed!”

Epps emphasizes, “Peacefully!”

Gionet has been charged with illegally entering a restricted building and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. He was found guilty last year of misdemeanor assault for pepper-spraying a security guard at an Arizona bar and sentenced to 30 days in jail. Gionet, who addressed the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, has also been charged with defacing a Hanukkah display at the Virginia Capitol.

On Oct. 21, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) picked up the thread and combined a bunch of videos featuring Epps, which he aired at a congressional hearing. Among the clips is one of Epps on Jan. 6, standing at the corner of 15th Street and Constitution Avenue and wearing Marine desert camo, signaling to people as they walked past: “As soon as our president is done speaking, we are going to the Capitol, where our problems are. It’s that direction. Please spread the word.”

Massie confronted Attorney General Merrick Garland and asked whether federal agents agitated the crowd to attack the Capitol. Garland responded that he couldn’t comment on an ongoing investigation.
