FOG BLOG U.S. POLITICS LOG: BIDEN SETTLES IN AND MOST OF THE 120 ARRESTED IN CAPITOL RIOT:

MOST OF THE 120 IDENTIFIED IN THE WASHINGTON D.C. CAPITOL BUILDING RIOT ARE LONGTIME SUPPORTERS OF DONALD TRUMP AND NOW MOST OF THEM HAVE BEEN CHARGED!.......Most of the 120 people who have been arrested in connection to or identified as being at the Capitol riot through photos and videos are longtime supporters of President Trump, an Associated Press analysis determined.

The Associated Press reviewed the social media posts, voter registrations, court files and other public records of 120 individuals suspected of being involved with the riots at the Capitol building and concluded that most backed the president.

The AP analysis comes after several conservatives, including lawmakers, have promoted without evidence the theory that groups like antifa and Black Lives Matter infiltrated the pro-Trump protests and were responsible for the riot in the Capitol.

The 120 people included Republican Party officials, GOP political donors, far-right militants, white supremacists and those who believe in QAnon, a conspiracy theory that Satan-worshipping pedophiles control the government, the AP found.......Many of the rioters were found to have posted unfounded claims promoted by Trump that the election had been stolen or that widespread voter fraud contributed to President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. Several of the posts involved threats of violence against Democrats or Republicans considered not on the president’s side. Many posted either during or after Wednesday’s events, with several expressing pride in their actions, according to the AP.

At least 90 people have been arrested for charges ranging from curfew violations to felonies such as assaulting police officers, possessing illegal weapons and making death threats against Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). Records indicate that some of the rioters are accused of being heavily armed, including Lonnie Leroy Coffman and Cleveland Grover Meredith Jr., both supporters of the president.
