Conservative commentator Ann Coulter had little patience for Vivek Ramaswamy as the Republican presidential candidate went fully conspiratorial about January 6th.
Once upon a time, Ramaswamy called the events of January 6th a disgrace, and he condemned Donald Trump over the former presidents actions that fueled his supporters into violently revolting against the results of the 2020 election. Now that Ramaswamy is running for president as a Trump-boosting alternative, he decided to mark January 6th as Entrapment Day on X while dredging up the Ray Epps conspiracy theory.
Ever since the storming of the Capitol, Trumps defenders have tried to shield the former president by downplaying the riot and/or claiming the FBI incited Trumps supporters towards lawlessness to give the government a pretext to persecute them legally. Conspiracy theorists claim Epps was an FBI plant involved in this supposed plot. Still, the Justice Department eventually charged him in connection with the riot, contradicting the idea that the bureau was protecting him.
Epps is currently suing Tucker Carlson and others
This has been explained 1 million times. Epps found out he was on the list and CALLED THE FBI HIMSELF. He was NOT caught on camera telling people to go in. Both he and the guy he was whispering to said he was saying DONT GO IN.Once Tucker and other nuts made Epps the star of their The FBI Did It! theory, the guy he was whispering to CHANGED HIS STORY. But thats not what he said at the time.Stop spreading conspiracy theories.
Coulter sparred with others on X as she pointed out that even though Epps was filmed telling Trump supporters to go to the Capitol, his comments were from the day before the attack. He didnt go into the building during the attack, and he told others not to do so while it was happening.
