    At a hearing Tuesday, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin asked Wray if there was any evidence the attack was organized by “fake Trump protesters.” Wray replied the FBI has “not seen evidence of that.”

    Some Republican members of Congress have suggested that left-wing protesters dressed up as Trump supporters to attack the Capitol, despite no evidence of that. The group laid siege on the building and interrupted the count of presidential electoral votes after then-President Donald Trump told them in a speech to “fight like hell” to overturn his defeat to Democrat Joe Biden.

    Five people died as result of the violence.

    Did they look? Not surprising what they do not see if they do not look. Like “Jews for a Just Peace” or “Jews for Palestine” or “Jews for Jesus” ad infinitum are “really” Jews who just want the “best” for Jews and Israel. After all, they say so themselves – what further evidence do you need?
