Former Representative Liz Cheney took to social media on Monday to confront Senator Mike Lee for sharing a new January 6 conspiracy theory.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson announced on Friday that his office would be releasing the complete archive of Capitol riot security footage, roughly 44,000 hours in total, after releasing an initial batch of footage totaling 90 hours.
Republicans, particularly supporters of former President Donald Trump aligned with the MAGA movement, have long called for the release of the footage, claiming the complete archive would confirm that January 6 was, in the words of Representative Andrew Clyde, "a normal tourist visit" and not a violent storming of the Capitol building in response to Trump's 2020 election loss to Joe Biden.
As the new footage was combed through, some conservatives honed in on a clip of a particular rioter appearing to flash an item toward a security camera. These commentators claimed that the item was a badge, lending supposed credence to their theory that the Capitol attack was spurred on by undercover federal agents. The theory has since been debunked, with the rioter in the clip, Kevin Lyons, being found to have been carrying a vape pen, not a badge.

Discussion is good. The video disclosure is even better.
Make america great again republicans believe in fiscal responsibility, Lower taxes, Strong defense budget, Not appeasing to a ran or special interest groups., like the george sorrow's open border society.
We have differences of opinion. We don't just parrot the tweets that are sent on Twitter or other social media by the Democrat White House. So all the other news media's go and lock step.
Diversity of thought is good. Differences of opinion is okay. Censorship by the white house working with social media and the fbi is wrong.
