ABC News reports:
Congressman Mo Brooks was active on Twitter Thursday morning, making allegations that “fascist ANTIFA” is to blame for Wednesday’s violence at the U.S. Capitol. In a thread of four tweets, Rep. Brooks says there should not be rushed judgment and people should wait for an investigation into Wednesday’s events. In the responding tweets, Rep. Brooks gives four things he says is evident it was Antifa that orchestrated the attack.
Please, don’t be like #FakeNewsMedia, don’t rush to judgment on assault on Capitol. Wait for investigation. All may not be (and likely is not) what appears. Evidence growing that fascist ANTIFA orchestrated Capitol attack with clever mob control tactics.
Evidence follows:

1. A Congressman warned me on MONDAY of a growing ANTIFA threat & advised that I sleep in my office rather than leaving Capitol complex & sleeping in my condo. I heeded that advice & have slept on office floor for 4 straight nights.

2. Congressman told me he was warned on TUESDAY by Capitol Police officer that intelligence suggested fascist ANTIFA was going to try to infiltrate the Trump rally by dressing like Trump supporters.
3. Capitol Police advised TUESDAY that it best not to leave Capitol complex.

4. Evidence, much public, surfacing that many Capitol assaulters were fascist ANTIFAs, not Trump supporters.
Again, time will reveal truth. Don’t rush to judgment. Don’t be fooled by #FakeNewsMedia whose political judgment drives their reporting.
My view: fully prosecute all!
