Earlier today Ted Cruz grilled the FBI about Ray Epps, which we posted, and the FBI refused to say anything about it.
Now RINO Never Trumper Adam Kinzinger is bashing and gleefully mocking Ted Cruz, Tucker Carlson, MTG and others as crazy conspiracy theorists. He claims Pelosi’s hack committee has interviewed Ray Epps and he’s a nobody.
One more @tedcruz conspiracy down. Ray Epps has cooperated and is nothing but a Jan 6 protest attendee, in his own words. Sorry crazies, it ain’t true. pic.twitter.com/UAcRMOCpRw

He then followed it up with this tweet thread:
RAY EPPS THREAD:
1) I know this will break some hearts. For a few months, people like Tucker Carlson, MTG, Gaetz, and now Cruz have been “just asking questions” about a man named Ray Epps.

2) He was on video the day before Jan 6 saying “we’re going INTO the capitol!” The some in the crowd chanted “fed fed fed.” Why? Who knows, maybe they knew he was videoed talking about breaking into the Capitol the day before it was to happen and wanted to create distance?

3) Regardless, he was put on the FBI wanted list, then removed. Because of all of that, the conspiracy that he was an FBI agent has been gospel on the blogs and shows. -side note- this is why we have to address conspiracies not ignore them.

4) He didn’t enter the Capitol on Jan 6, and was removed from the most wanted list because apparently he broke no laws. I’m pretty sure the FBI wouldn’t be dumb enough to put their own agent on a wanted list. Ray Epps has cooperated with the Jan 6 committee and we thank him

5) on the broader issue. Let’s say Ray was an agent (HE IS NOT), the premise is that one agent can gin up a crowd to insurrection. That isn’t saying much about the intelligence of your voters is it Ted? The rioters had formal education, owned businesses etc. they knew.

6) An FBI informant is someone that is paid by or turned by law enforcement as they build broader cases. Informants are usually criminals that turn to save their own butt. An informant is not an agent. But Ted wants you to think it is. RAY is NO informant either.
— Adam Kinzinger (@AdamKinzinger) January 11, 2022
7) The narrative on Jan 6 has been that it’s first antifa, or patriots who love their country, maybe crisis actors, def false flag operatives, or now FBI agents. Take your pick. Truth is they were rioters incited by lies. And RAY is no fed. Just another misled man.

While it may break hearts, it’s true. So many are misled by so few. Just look up.

Some on Twitter aren’t buying it, especially from Adam Kinzinger:
"Ted Cruz conspiracy"? The guy is on video running all over DC loudly urging people to enter the Capitol on January 6. It's really odd he did this, was on FBI wanted list, and then was never charged.
J6 committee owes us more than this if they expect to be trusted. https://t.co/BRCMhJxaqx

I trust it even less now that you’re going out of your way to do this. I’m not into conspiracies, but this overreaction and public statements protecting a guy that participated in Jan 6th and advocating taking the Capitol. 🧐 https://t.co/0BW9AmLg9o

LOL they sure went from “everyone involved in January 6 is a terrorist” to LEAVE RAY EPPS ALONE. This is hysterical https://t.co/NCEOVAGuiW

Ray Epps whispered in Ryan Samsel’s ear RIGHT BEFORE Samsel is the first protester to knock down a thin line of police barricades on the perimeter of Capitol grounds. Multiple Proud Boys and FBI informants followed. What did Epps say?
