Andy Biggs Helped Plan January 6th?

by

“The head of the House Freedom Caucus, Republican Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona, helped plan the January 6 event that culminated in a storming of the Capitol, according to Ali Alexander, a lead organizer of the gathering. Alexander, a pro-Trump personality, was an early founder of the “Stop the Steal” movement, and helped bring together various right-wing factions around a mass event on January 6, aimed to coincide with objections to the counting of Electoral College votes.

Alexander made his claim in three separate livestreams in late December, adding that Reps. Paul Gosar of Arizona and Mo Brooks of Alabama were also involved. “We’re the four guys who came up with a January 6 event,” Alexander said.” [1][Ref: 5963]

AZ Dems Call for Biggs and Gosar Expulsion

by

Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar must be expelled from Congress!

“There is now mounting evidence that Gosar and Biggs played a significant role in the insurrection at the Capitol.

Before retreating and going into hiding, far-right Republican activist Ali Alexander claimed he worked closely with Republican congressmen, including Paul Gosar and Andy Biggs, to plan the January 6th event.

Alexander claimed the mob was trying to:
“change the hearts and the minds of Republicans who were in that body, hearing our loud roar from outside. If we don’t embrace Trumpism, the party is quite literally dead.”

Gosar and Biggs have chosen Trump over democracy. They must be expelled from Congress. And the Arizona Democratic Party is committed to continuing to fight not just for progressive causes, but for democracy.” – AZ Dems email broadcast, January 27, 2021 – info@azdem.org

Veterans Who Should Lose Any VA Benefits

Two police officers in Rocky Mount, Virginia are facing federal charges in the January 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol. Sergeant Thomas Robertson, 47, and Officer Jacob Fracker, 29, have been charged with unlawful entry into a restricted area and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

According to a criminal complaint, Robertson and Fracker were photographed inside the Capitol building in front of a statue, with one seen pointing and the other making an obscene gesture. At the time of the riot, the two were off-duty from their jobs as police officers with the Rocky Mount Police Department, the complaint says. They’ve been put on administrative leave, pending their investigation. Both Robertson and Fracker said in court they were military veterans. (And yet they attack our own democracy.)

Fracker’s Facebook post has been taken down, but originally said, “”Lol to anyone who’s possibly concerned about the picture of me going around… Sorry I hate freedom? …Not like I did anything illegal…y’all do what you feel you need to…”

Robertson’s post read: “CNN and the Left are just mad because we actually attacked the government who is the problem and not some random small business … The right IN ONE DAY took the f* U.S. Capitol. Keep poking us.”
