1/ Last night KSTP’s Jay Kolls - of #pointergate infamy - did a story on the US Capitol invasion. Despite direct links to President Trump & white supremacists, the story named only one group: Antifa. kstp.com/news/minneapol… (Pointergate primer here: journalmpls.com/voices/2014/11…)
2/ Kolls’ source is a local “security consultant” named Michael Rozin. “Rozin said there were some rioters inside the U.S. Capitol who used symbols & had tattoos which seem to be aligned with the ANTIFA movement,” adding, “Rep. Matt Gaetz also suggested ANTIFA may be involved.” 
3/ Gaetz is an #AlwaysTrumper who often lies; his House speech has been discredited. washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/01…. But who is Rozin? Well, Kolls used him during the George Floyd protests, where Rozin hyped anarchists. Both times Rozin was the sole source. kstp.com/news/anarchist…
