Ali Alexander, lead organizer of the "Stop the Steal" coup 3 GOP congressmen worked w/him: @RepGosar,
@RepMoBrooks, and @RepAndyBiggsAZ

"We four schemed up putting maximum pressure on congress while they were voting..."

@SpeakerPelosi?

All three of these Republican members of Congress are close allies of WH chief of staff Mark Meadows, their former leader in the extremist Freedom Caucus.

America must know: What did Meadows and others in the Trump WH know about the insurrection beforehand?

Check out what Alexander said later: "I don't disavow this, I do not denounce this. This is completely peaceful, looks like so far, and there are a couple of agitators that I obviously don't endorse...This is we the people and this will only grow"

The night before the invasion on 1/5, Alexander led the same crowd of people in his own event in a chant "Victory or Death!"

Great point here about Brooks. We know now why he was so instantly eager to falsely blame "antifa" for the violence:

All the 14th Amendment discussions about Hawley and Cruz must include these 3 seditious House members. Of course, we should also find out if the two senators knew of the plans beforehand as well. Cruz might have since he is also a close ally of the "Freedom Caucus."

Brooks's own speech to the Trump-controlled "Save America March" (save it how and from whom?) was filled with incitement, including his urge to attendees to march on the Capitol and "kick asses."

Update: In a video recorded as he went into hiding, Ali Alexander expressed violent threats toward a number of people. I featured the clip in a thread about American conservatism's passionate death drive
