Oregon House Republicans, Sen. Knopp take issue with state GOP’s ‘false flag’ claims
SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) The Oregon House Republican Caucus released the following statement Wednesday in response to the recently adopted Oregon Republican Party resolution labeling the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill takeover in Washington, D.C. a “false flag” operation.
“Elected House Republicans are focused on representing our constituents. Oregon is in crisis. Vaccines are not going to our most vulnerable, our students are still not in a safe classroom setting, main street businesses are in a tailspin, our health data is a mess and here we are, talking about a political party resolution. There is no credible evidence to support false flag claims.

The extraordinary statement is just the latest backlash the Oregon Republican Party has received in recent days for a Jan. 19 resolution.
Republicans in the Oregon House on Wednesday took the extraordinary step of distancing themselves from their state party, after party officials passed a resolution labeling the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol a “‘false flag’ operation.’”
A statement signed by all 23 House Republicans noted that “there is no credible evidence to support false flag claims.” It suggested the state party’s Jan. 19 resolution that said the Capitol attack might have been “designed to discredit President Trump, his supporters and all conservative Republicans,” has become a distraction.

At reader request, I’ve added this daily chart from 91-DIVOC. The data is the Johns Hopkins CSSE data. Here is the site.
Nate SIlver makes the same call [lambert preens]:
Interesting chart: We re now vaccinating more people (1st doses) than there are new infections. However, caseloads are still VERY high (higher than at any point pre-November).https://t.co/Qxu8rSPoV1pic.twitter.com/UU3F0B5Szq
But see caveats below!
Lambert here: Well, I said “If these declines continue through the end of the week, I’m gonna have to conclude we’re looking at a genuine fall in the numbers not the current narrative, I might add and that we are not looking at a reporting effect from the long weekend.” So I have to conclude we’re looking at a genuine fall in the numbers.
