THREAD: In the aftermath of Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, far-right groups, pro-Trump militias, and white supremacists are revelling in the chaos caused, all while continuing to spread their propaganda & disinformation. Here is a small sampling:
The neo-fascist Proud Boys hate group bragged on social media about the fear they helped cause, while their leader (who was arrested on Jan. 5 and barred from DC) told them to “never stop fighting”

Other notable accounts adhering to QAnon defended the attack on the Capitol—“it had to be this way”—while also claiming that the woman who was fatally shot during the insurrection (and is a QAnon adherent herself) is actually alive. Others called for martial law.

Several international white supremacist groups also celebrated the insurrection, with one neo-Nazi football hooligan group stating “we put the white back into the White House”
Other white nationalists like Robert Rundo (founder of the Rise Above Movement neo-Nazi MMA fight club) romanticized the attack and added that this is how you “make your ancestors proud”
Another neo-Nazi account published a series of posts encouraging the domestic terrorists behind the insurrection while threatening further action

More on the Proud Boys: the group is now encouraging its members to interfere with the FBI investigation by trolling the digital media team.
There are plenty of other examples of Nazis and far-right groups celebrating the insurrection. This was not a surprise attack. It was not unexpected on unpredictable. It is exactly what they said they would do.

When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
