So there’s tons of easily debunkable “proof” of the people who stormed the capital being Antifa.

Let’s go down the list:
One example is the claim that there was an Antifa flag that was hung up on the capital.

If you ask for proof, people will show you this picture. However, it’s an America first flag.
Specifically, Merch from this shop - https://merch.nicholasjfuentes.com/ 
Others will point to this video as evidence. It also massively fails as “proof” https://twitter.com/GeneralWarz/status/1347433646064611329
“For all you b***** who say it was Antifa...it wasn’t antifa, it was us”

He’s flat out saying it wasn’t Antifa, it was his group.

This man is Kristopher Dreww, aka Adorable Deplorable. Seen here - https://www.flow.page/realadorabledeplorable
People will point out the “antifa flag” in the background around the 18 second mark.

However, if you look closely, you can see there’s another word before “Antifa”

The word starts with “F” and “U”. While the rest is cut off...it’s a safe assumption it say “F### Antifa”
For this guy, they’ll point to his tattoo, claiming it’s a hammer and sickle.

It’s actually the Outsider’s mark from Dishonored 2.
They’ll then point out that he and the guy next to them appear on pictures of a page on Philly Antifa’s website.

While I can’t say with 100% certainty the guys in the picture and the guys at the capitol building are the same people, there’s a bigger issue.
The page it appears on is not a profile page for members. I’m not sure they even have that.

It’s an expose written by Philly Antifa against the people. So this proves that he’s not Antifa.
Next, in the same picture, is buffalo man Jake Angeli. People have a lot of ways to “prove” he’s antifa, and all are bogus.

They’ll point out his tattoos, saying that one of them is the “boylover” symbol.
However, compare the symbol (pic1) to his tattoo (pic2)

These aren’t the same. The Boylove one is a single triangular spiral. His is three interconnected triangles.

That shape is known as the Valknut (picture 3)
They’ll also claim he was at a BLM rally. He was indeed there...to demonstrate AGAINST them.

He’s done plenty of appearances.
Then people will get even more desperate, saying he had a backstage profile once.

His acting credits consist of this and a bit of voicework. That’s it. Is that supposed to mean everything is fake?
A journalist, Michiel Vos (who is also Nancy Pelosi’s son in law), appears in a picture with him on Wednesday.

So? Michiel Vos, the same journalist, has his picture taken with a lot of people.

Jake just wanted his picture taken.
Then there’s his appearance at a 2019 Climate rally. While this isn’t typical, it doesn’t change much.

From the word of his own sister (WokeWonderland), Gavin McInnes, and several others who have met him, we can determine he’s a trump and/or Qanon supporter.
Getting your picture taken with someone does not mean your best buds.

Also, Jake would not be the first attention craving Trump supporter. Look at Milo, Candace, Charlie, Dinesh, and so many more.
Other identified people include:

- Nick Fuentes, right wing podcaster
- Baked Alaska, white supremacist
Some really meatheaded people try to claim that it was this guy who stole the lectern, offering this as proof.

He commented on a picture from Getty Images, that’s it. I’ve commented and reposted on a bunch of pictures on twitter, and I’m in none of them.
“Responsiblitly”

It’s not even a good photoshop
People will also try to post this picture of Adam Johnson, the lectern thief. They claim it shows him supporting BLM.

However, you can clearly see he’s on the opposite side of a police line. Meaning he and BLM were on opposing sides.
He’s also seen standing with what appears to be police. Not something BLM is particularly known for.
Now, to be fair, there were Antifa supporters and/or BLM protestors present. Take for example John Sullivan.

https://www.deseret.com/platform/amp/utah/2021/1/7/22219733/utah-activist-inside-u-s-capitol-says-woman-killed-was-first-to-try-and-enter-house-chamber-sullivan
However, this does not make the responsibility for the event at large belong to leftists.

The number of left wingers present is rather scare compared to the number of right wingers. Furthermore, let’s not forget the rightwingers being ones to plot this event in the first place.
All the people who died were Trump supporters as well. While this is irrelevant in Sicknick’s case, as he was just an officer who was accosted by the mob, the other four are worth noting.
People on the right are mourning their deaths, especially Ashli’s. The mourners do not deny the deceased’s political affiliations.

Yet many of them still blame Antifa. I must ask, are these four anomalies? Or was it far more likely the crowd largely shared their beliefs?
Update: Perhaps John Sullivan wasn't as leftist as we thought. https://twitter.com/MaxBlumenthal/status/1349577049053278208?s=20
For example: He's been flat out kicked out by many BLM chapters. https://twitter.com/RebellionBaby/status/1331902008765206528?s=20
There’s also this guy, who people often point out his resemblance to Adrian De Los Rios, an antifa protestor.

There’s a problem here. While there is a resemblance...that’s not him. That’s Doug Jensen
There is no Jade Sacker who works for CNN. https://twitter.com/amuse/status/1349885882262761473
And then there’s Kevin Seefried, the confederate flag guy.

Sources like the Gatewaypundit will point out that there is a registered democrat who lives in Delaware by that name, according to http://voterrecords.com .
Problem: That Kevin lives in Wilmington, and is in his 30’s.

This Kevin lives in Laurel and in his 50’s.
Also “We have not confirmed this”
Confirming things is your job. I was able to debunk it easily
