Rep. Gosar: The FBI planned the insurrection

 

Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar has spent the last five months defending the insurrectionists who broke into the Capitol on January 6 -- but now he's taking it a step further by suggesting it was actually the FBI who planned the Capitol siege.   During a House hearing earlier this week, Gosar filed a Revolver News article into the congressional record that claimed the FBI organized the deadly Capitol riot.   Then he demanded that FBI director Cristopher Wray give him the name of the Capitol police officer who fatally shot a rioter during the insurrection, claiming the rioter had been “executed.”   Gosar has no respect for the Capitol police officers who protected him and his colleagues on January 6, and he has even less respect for the majority of Americans. Before voting to overturn the election results, he told right-wing militia members of the Oath Keepers that America is in a civil war, “we just haven't started shooting at each other yet.”   We all know what happened on January 6. It isn't a “narrative” or a “rally that got out of hand.” It wasn't a stunt orchestrated by the FBI. It was a violent attack on our nation's Capitol, and Republicans opened the door.   Gosar has been in Congress for over a decade -- but he's not alone anymore. He has a growing number of right-wing extremists helping him shape legislation in Washington, each one with ties to the extremist groups who planned the insurrection. Arizona Rep.
