Pedes don't wear masks.

Maybe when you're in the grocery store because you have to. And maybe a patriotic bandana.

But the masks on all the guys in the front seem like a tell, because no one on our side set out to break in, so they weren't intending to wear masks to block their faces. What Trump supporter wears a mask outside? None I know.

Yet the media narrative is telling us that a bunch of rube deplorables heard GEOTUS riff and suddenly got whipped up into such a frenzy we just had to storm the Capitol.

I'm having a real tough time buying it.

Well, if you're gonna storm the capitol a mask is probably a good idea to be honest. Identification and all that.

That stood out to me as well. All the masked people were literally up to no good while everyone not wearing a mask was either just rallying or vocally voicing their anger and frustration. I swear this COVID crap has created a whole new world of chaos.

I figured they were antifa right away because they were also wearing all black. Kinda looked like a sore thumb among all those in American shirts and MAGA hats

The dude breaking the window in that one video circling wasn’t wearing a mask... this is a dumb statement that holds no water.

the tear gas and pepper spray could explain the masks

Thats because it was a set up. It was theater.

Lot of speculation but I bet you weren't actually there

There is footage of people without masks beating a cop at the doorway.

Yes they do, because they aren't stupid. What happened wasn't the most legal thing ever, and even if it was, they would have put people's identities out there.

You wouldn't catch in the capitol without a mask on. Not to protect you health, it's to protect your identity.

They're already picking up the people that didn't wear masks.

Are you fucking retarded? Tear gas. Pepper balls. Flash bangs. Tear powder. Facial rec. They were under prepared and did what they could.
