EXCLUSIVE U.S. investigating possible ties between Roger Stone, Alex Jones and Ali Alexander and Capitol rioters amid wider probe of the 'radicalization' of key figures including members of Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and others. w/ @DevlinBarrett washingtonpost.com/local/legal-is…
U.S. official: "We are investigating potential ties between those physically involved in the attack on the Capitol and individuals who may have influenced them, such as Roger Stone, Alex Jones and [Stop the Steal organizer] Ali Alexander.”
Three Proud Boy leaders charged in the Capitol riot or an earlier Trump rally in D.C. — “Enrique” Tarrio, Joe Biggs and Ethan Nordean -- registered a company together last year. Tarrio and Biggs also have preexisting personal or business connections to Stone and Jones.
In Nov. 20 podcast promoted by Jones with Biggs and Nordean, Tarrio suggested viewers “kick off this [Biden] presidency with f------- fireworks,” infiltrate his inauguration and “turn [it] into a f------ circus, a sign of resistance, a sign of revolution.” h/t @dailydot
Tarrio, Biggs, Nordean started Warboys LLC in July, promoting right-wing causes online and via Tarrio’s 1776 Shop in the footsteps of Stone, Jones. Americans must “desensitize” selves to violence, Nordean said in 12/31 vid, as guest called PBs 'soldiers of the right wing' at war.
