Tomorrow “60 Minutes” will air an interview with Ray Epps, who was at a Trump rally (and elsewhere apparently) in Washington, DC on January 6, 2021. In the promo, “60 Minutes” says Epps denies a “convoluted conspiracy theory” that he was one of the people who helped turn the protest into a riot:
In conservative media, Ray Epps is a notorious villain, responsible for turning the protests on January 6 into a riot. It is a convoluted conspiracy theory he denies. He’s now in hiding, facing death threats.
This Sunday, Epps sits down with 60 Minutes. https://t.co/mEN4CWeXMW pic.twitter.com/DnooNqQWck— 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) April 21, 2023
Did you catch something right at the start of that video? A lot of people did:
"It is a convoluted conspiracy theory"
Literally the first thing in the video: "We are going to the Capitol"

Your clip literally shows him planning it. It's on video. Not just the one video, either.

You’re literally showing video footage of him inciting a riot. It can’t be more obvious that he was a plant.

It’s such a “convoluted conspiracy theory” that the first thing 60 Liberal Minutes airs in this clip is Ray Epps saying “we’re going to the capitol.” https://t.co/SN7aKEhcwU

And that presented Epps with no legal problems? And the liberal media is sympathetic? HMM.
Look at you guys simping for feds. Disgusting subservience from so-called "journalists."

I'm not a tinfoil hat type but it is extremely curious how this is the one man who "was just there to have fun stop ganging up on him 😭" according to the press https://t.co/XbcoMIjHLj

Weird, right?
I don’t know about you but this completely convinces me that this particular skunk who egged on all those protestors but didn’t get arrested or tried and has the full support of every Democrat politician and twitter partisan and reporter is totally on the level and not a Fed. https://t.co/EY3AKycbF7

It's not convoluted at all: Ray Epstein (his real name) is on camera multiple times calling for people to attack the Capitol. And the very fact you're going to have him on means he works out of Langley. https://t.co/sEbIVQEwHU

In truthful and independent media
We have seen the independent videos and livestreams of him
It's not conservative media
What you are doing, the kids would call "gaslighting".
I call it bald face lying

Explain why Ray Epps is the lone instigator that hasn’t been arrested.
— SMD (@smdowner) April 21, 2023
Did “60 Minutes” ask Epps why he thinks that is? We have so many questions.
I didn't have Ray Epps becoming a mainstream media sympathetic darling on my 2023 bingo card.
— Adam B. Coleman, President of Aintblackistan (@wrong_speak) April 21, 2023
He’s on video instigating the riot and somehow hasn’t been arrested… What’s convoluted about that?
— Pete D’Abrosca (@pdabrosca) April 22, 2023
Bless your hearts, guys.😂
Ray lied before Congress about his departure time, was on the lines on Capitol grounds, and trust us, had he supported Trump, he'd still be in a DC jail. https://t.co/0vsRZNQfJS

Other than that, “60 Minutes” really nailed it.
He needs to be in Prison https://t.co/Go0ptNW348

If Epps were an actual Trump supporter perhaps he would be based on available videos.
Democrats about every other January 6th protester: "Insurrectionist fascist scum, I'm glad that mother of 3 got shot."
Democrats about Ray Epps: "He was a misled victim of Trump & deserves nothing but our deepest sympathy."
