Proud Boys Charged with Seditious Conspiracy in Capitol Riot
SnopesAPR 3 2022
Bit by bit we're learning of the ties between groups that were instrumental in the Jan. 6 attacks on the Capitol - like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers - their relationships with each other, and their close ties to the Trump White House. This is a sign that the political attempt to stop the certification of the votes overlapped with the violent effort.
It's absurd to call Jan. 6 a "seditious conspiracy" by unarmed citizens who largely committed no acts of violence. The only ones who truly represent anti-American sentiment are those who are targeting patriotic citizens and labelling them as "domestic terrorists".
