IDK if most people get how much alignment & connection there is between the Nazis who broke into the Capitol yesterday, and elected officials & political figures in the @GOP.
The Nazis are out of the Capitol. Their enablers & allies still hold political & government power.

Take Darren Beattie. Beattie currently serves on a @WhiteHouse committee, in a position that technically continues beyond Trump’s presidency. Beattie is a former @RepMattGaetz staffer. Here he is cheering on the Nazis — sorry, I mean “patriots.”
White House appointee & former @RepMattGaetz staffer Darren Beattie is a white supremacist. While Nazis were storming the Capitol, Darren was telling Black people to “take a knee to MAGA” and “learn their proper place in society.”
It’s by no means surprising that Darren Beattie would praise Nazis taking over the U.S. Capitol — he praised Nazis marching in Berlin this past summer: https://twitter.com/egsophie/status/1290004090395664385
White House appointee Darren Beattie is also friendly with Groyper leader Nick Fuentes, who was among those who led the storming of the Capitol yesterday. Earlier this week, Fuentes publicly floated the idea of executing legislators. https://twitter.com/egsophie/status/1298224693414187010

It’s not just WH appointees/staffers. It’s actual elected members of congress like @DrPaulGosar, who criticized the violence on twitter—but simultaneously justified it on Parler. Gosar actually rallied alongside the horned “QAnon Shaman” this fall in AZ! https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/arizona-rep-paul-gosar-condemns-capitol-attack-on-twitter-but-not-parler-11523882
Then there’s @RepMattGaetz, who STILL has managed to evade attention for his ties to & praise of PB leader Enrique Tarrio, who was arrested earlier this week when he arrived in DC for the 1/6 Nazi rally. Tarrio was found carrying 2 high-capacity magazines. https://www.howtofightantisemitism.com/timeline/the-proud-boys-provide-security-at-an-event-headlined-by-matt-gaetz
. @RepMattGaetz's pal, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, was cheering the fact that Gaetz's colleagues feared for their lives last night https://twitter.com/QueenJenbo/status/1346960668797362178?s=20
They have the same goal. They are openly on the same team. I don't know how to say it. @DrPaulGosar is actively working with the people who broke into the Capitol building and threatened his colleagues. He needs to be expelled. @CoriBush
