Matt Gaetz alleges antifa infiltrated violent Capitol Hill protest

Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican and Trump ally, suggested in an early-morning speech on the House floor that the violent Capitol Hill protest was hijacked by antifa.

“The Washington Times has just reported some pretty compelling evidence from a facial recognition company showing that some of the people who breached the Capitol today were not Trump supporters,” he said to audible boos from several of his colleagues. “They were masquerading as Trump supporters and, in fact, were members of the violent terrorist group antifa.”
