Jan. 7 FORT WORTH Guess who was happy watching the U.S. Capitol under militia attack Wednesday?
You guessed it: Texas tea party crowd.
In the middle of a patriot-movement attack on our nation s heart, the darkest factions in the state s Republican Party either celebrated or rushed to share a fake cover story diverting blame.
Leading the way: Republican Party of Texas sergeant-at-arms Walter West II of Montgomery County, who posted a series of volatile comments including one labeled Wild Protest with the comment: You Accepted ANTIFA burning down your cities. Now Deal with them taking back OUR HOUSE!
