I was in the Capitol on January 6th. My colleagues and I hid from the violent mob for hours on January 6th. I remember the vile smell of feces everywhere as we walked on the floor to certify the election results on January 6th.
So no, Donald, January 6th was not a hoax.

The undercover agent who wasn’t
Ray Epps believed the conspiracy theory that the 2020 election was stolen. Then he became the conspiracy theorists’ biggest target.

Ray and Robyn Epps, in their late 50s and retired from careers in roofing and sales, were living on a bucolic property and helping young people begin new chapters together when, in 2021, their peace was shattered. Threatening voicemails and text messages began flooding their business phone and email accounts. People drove past the ranch brandishing weapons. One day, Ray found bullet casings littered across the property.
“We’re coming Ray!!!!!!” read one email. “Hopefully you are filled with holes soon.”
A churchgoing Republican who served four years in the United States Marine Corps and twice voted for Donald Trump, Epps was an unlikely target of death threats. Yet Epps had become something of a paradox: He believed in one conspiracy theory, only to find himself in the red-hot center of another — a theory that would place him in the crosshairs of a former president, turn him into a punching bag on Fox News, and lead to the complete collapse of the life he and his wife had built, sending them into hiding.
Epps didn’t know that this trip to Washington would forever change his life in Queen Creek. He never imagined footage of him trying to de-escalate attacks on police officers had gone viral thanks to “Baked Alaska” — or that a conspiracy theory was emerging that blamed him for being the undercover agent who infiltrated the rally and instigated the violent breach of the U.S. Capitol.
“Meet Ray Epps, the Fed-protected provocateur who appears to have led the very first 1/6 attack on the Capitol,” read an October 25, 2021, headline on Revolver News. Darren Beattie, the website’s editor and a former Trump staffer, was eventually invited onto Fox’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” Before millions of viewers, Beattie blamed undercover FBI agents for the January 6 insurrection and called Epps “the smoking gun of the entire Fedsurrection.”
It was a classic “false flag” conspiracy theory: the idea that it was secretly the FBI, not enraged Trump supporters or white supremacist militias, that led thousands of people to illegally enter the Capitol, destroy property, assault police and threaten the lives of public officials. Carlson accused Epps of leading the charge and mocked him with names like “FedEpps.”
