Ray Epps: The one Capitol rioter the DOJ wants you to feel bad for

Ray Epps, who is one of the only people caught on video urging people to push their way into the Capitol building ahead of the Jan. 6 riot, is the only one present in the crowd that day that the Department of Justice wants you to feel bad for.

Why? Because the DOJ’s long delay in charging him with a crime despite his call for people to “go into the Capitol” the day before the riot led to widespread speculation that he was a federal asset. In fact, in the video where he is seen urging people to enter the Capitol, he is heckled with chants of “fed.”
