Trump Supporters Who Did These Things Don t Do These Things : Newsmax
The far-right network s Greg Kelly is pushing an unhinged conspiracy theory about the pro-Trump mob that stormed the Capitol.
Newsmax host Greg Kelly joined a right-wing chorus of blame-shifting on Wednesday, saying the siege of the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob was the work of antifa and “outside infiltrators.” (Watch the videos below.)
“I have serious questions about who these people are,” Kelly said on the far-right channel, which is becoming a go-to news source for some Trump supporters who still believe the president is the rightful 2020 election winner. “Who are these people?

Feds Say They ll Hunt Down Trump Mob That Violently Stormed The U.S. Capitol
The federal campaign against insurrectionist Donald Trump supporters came after law enforcement allowed criminals to evade capture.
WASHINGTON ― Federal authorities said Thursday that they’re working to hunt down the hundreds of insurrectionists who stormed the U.S. Capitol building in support of President Donald Trump, most of whom were allowed to leave without being arrested after laying siege to the seat of the United States government.
Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, who has headed the Justice Department since the departure of William Barr, said in a statement on Thursday that the DOJ “is committed to ensuring that those responsible for this attack on our Government and the rule of law face the full consequences of their actions under the law.”
In Wake Of Prop 22, Albertsons Shifting In-House Delivery Jobs To Gig Work
Unions representing the grocery chain s workers say the decision will drive down wages and make the work less stable.
One of the largest grocery chains in the U.S. has decided to end much of its in-house delivery service, outsourcing the work to third-party companies like DoorDash that rely on independent contractors to drop off food to customers on the cheap.
Unions representing workers at Albertsons say the chain’s decision will end up degrading good delivery jobs by putting the work on a “gig” model. Independent contractors tend to bear many of the costs of employment, providing their own vehicles and covering wear and tear, while forgoing traditional work benefits like health coverage and a retirement fund.

The actor said on “The Late Show” Tuesday that she confronted her exploding fame after shooting a project in Ireland, where she was “too isolated” to realize the impact the drama had made.
“Then when I came back home to London I went for a walk with my mask and my beanie, and the amount of people that stopped me from just this,” she told host Stephen Colbert, framing her eyes. “I honestly couldn’t believe it, and I think it’s gonna take some time to get used to.”
“But luckily everyone’s so kind. They just really enjoyed the show and they want to talk about Beth and I am up for that,” she added.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Senator Ted Cruz on Saturday said he will be among a dozen Republican senators who will challenge President-elect Joe Biden’s victory when Electoral College results are tallied in Congress next week – a largely symbolic move that has little chance of preventing Biden from taking office.
The Republicans join Senator Josh Hawley, who earlier this week became the first sitting member of the Senate to announce he would challenge the election result. A number of Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives also plan on contesting the vote tally.
