Trump supporter demands retraction from Tucker Carlson for Jan. 6 riot conspiracy theory

[onthedarkside]

 

March 23 (UPI) -- A one-time supporter of former President Donald Trump who has found himself at the center of a conspiracy theory claiming he was a government informant who instigated the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has demanded a retraction from Fox commentator Tucker Carlson for defamation.

 

Ray Epps sent a cease and desist letter to Carlson on Thursday, decrying the commentator's repeated "fanciful notions" and his "assault on truth" on his show.

 

"Mr. Carlson and Fox News have repeatedly peddled claims about Mr. Epps that lack any foundation in fact.

I dont think TC and Fox has much to worry about imop! One minute Epps is on a poster ,the next poster his name is gone. 

“Magically, Mr. Epps disappeared from the public posting.“According to public records, Mr. Epps has not been charged with anything. No one’s explained why a person videoed urging people to go to the Capitol, a person whose conduct was so suspect the crowd believed he was a fed, would magically disappear from the list of people the FBI was looking at.”

Because the FBI realized that Mr. Epps was not one of the people that illegally entered the Capitol: 

 

"From the available footage, it appears that Epps was in attendance at the rally but that he did not go into the Capitol or engage in any violence. One video actually shows Epps as he attempts to de-escalate a fight between police and protesters."  https://www.snopes.com/articles/389126/who-is-ray-epps/

Really?  At what time were Antifa and BLM threatening to take Congress and the Vice President hostage and prevent the certification of a legitimate Presidential election?

 

Also, if you would pull your head out of your information vacuum you would have no trouble finding numerous arrests and prosecutions that followed the protests over the George Floyd murder.

A Trump poster brought up Ray Epps today. Apparently, the poster still thinks,Epps was an "agent provocateur" working for the government.

 

Now that Epps is suing for defamation, FOX is very quiet about him.

When even Fox itself admitted it has lied and paid a king's ransom in penalties this beggars belief. Carlson himself put his hand on the bible and said only an idiot would believe him.

But an even greater amount of idiocy is involved in not being able to see his own contempt for his audience.

Tho mislead and lied to by trump mr Epps was engaged in legitimate protest tho wrong I fully support his right to do so one only has to watch any legitimate news source to see the ruined lives trump is leaving in his wake.I hope mr Epps survives and thrives even though our views differ
