You plainly spread false conspiracy theories for political expediency to divert blame. You and your colleagues bellowed lies in the place where terrorists inspired by an endless stream of lies and conspiracy theories tried to overthrow our national government. It's contemptible. https://twitter.com/mattgaetz/status/1347253228380033025
Let's get something straight, ok? The terrorists, neo-Nazis, and white supremacists who attacked the Capitol, assaulted police officers, put up a noose, stole and looted, wrote "murder the media" on our doors, and planted bombs – they came here directly from a Trump rally.
The thousands who attempted the violent overthrow of the American government were not "antifa," they were MAGA.

They were incited and inspired by the lies and conspiracy theories of Donald Trump and given waives and shout-outs from Members of Congress who called them "patriots."
They were not patriots, they were insurrectionists and fascists, spurred on by lies that continued on the House floor after the violence ended.

It says everything about this moment that some who call themselves leaders can't tell the difference between a patriot and a neo-Nazi.
