Epps’ behavior was so egregious that he was one of the first twenty people added to the FBI’s January 6th most wanted list. In a New York Times video compilation called “Day of Rage,” the footage of Epps is featured prominently to suggest that the January 6th insurrection was planned in advance, which makes sense as Epps is the only person caught on camera repeatedly urging crowds to storm the Capitol as early as the evening of January 5th. Shortly after Revolver News ran its first major piece questioning federal involvement on January 6th, however, the tune changed. Epps was quietly taken off the most-wanted list, and the New York Times eventually wrote a fully-dedicated puff piece about him.
What a remarkable thing indeed to think that this man Ray Epps, who was wearing a Trump hat and camo gear, urging people into the Capitol, who was pre-positioned at the initial breach site of the Capitol, who had been the president of the Arizona chapter of the Oath Keepers, the most demonized and heavily prosecuted militia group in relation to January 6th, and who infamously texted his nephew that he “orchestrated it” in reference to the events of January 6th, is at the same time the only January 6 participant the New York Times will defend!For those interested, we published a compilation of some extremely rare (and exceptionally damning) footage of Ray Epps. And of course, those who are new to this topic or who are interested in a refresher should consult our ground-breaking Meet Ray Epps series (click here for Part 1 and here for Part 2).
Ironically, the one thing Biden’s corrupt DOJ gets right about January 6th is that Revolver News is responsible for changing the national conversation on January 6, largely on the basis of our ground-breaking reporting on Ray Epps (and the pipe bombs, of course).
