The video I have seen shows violence where Mr. Epps happens to be and calm inside where he is not. TD
Julio Rosas "Ray Epps' lawyer has sent a letter to Fox News demanding a retraction over host Tucker Carlson airing more footage taken during the January 6 riot and exposing Epps lying to the House Committee on when he left during the unfolding incident.
"The New York Times reports the letter sent by Michael Teter also demands Carlson publicly retract his "false and defamatory statements" that Epps had worked as an undercover provocateur for the federal government to whip up the crowd that stormed into the Capitol building.
" 'Oddly, Mr. Carlson now also espouses the view that those rioters were akin to peaceful tourists," Teter continued. "This leads to the obvious question: Is Mr. Carlson now accusing Mr. Epps of provoking peaceful protests?"
"Not only was Epps caught on camera telling people to go to the Capitol building on January 5 and 6, along with being among the first to breach the outside perimeter of the complex, but footage Carlson aired proved Epps lied when he testified he left the grounds of the Capitol earlier than he actually did.". . .
J6 Committee members likely knew this but defended him anyway.
The failure of the FBI to arrest the most conspicuous ringleader of the Capitol breach has naturally heightened suspicions that Epps — and likely others — were either federal agents or assets.
The “journalists” at the New York Times did not share those suspicions. In July 2022, … Times reporter Alan Feuer lamented the fate of this seeming MAGA extremist. “Epps has suffered enormously in the past 10 months,” wrote Feuer, “as right-wing media figures and Republican politicians have baselessly described him as a covert government agent who helped to instigate the attack on the Capitol last year.”
“Baselessly?” The fact that the Times would shred its remaining credibility to defend this man suggests just how much Epps matters. …

"Why it matters so much:
The media and the Democrats feel compelled to defend Ray Epps. To acknowledge that Epps was a government asset is to acknowledge that he and others like him infiltrated the January 6 protest and spurred it to violence.
UPDATE: 3:25: Ray Epps is now targeting Tucker Carlson - American Thinker
"During his expose regarding the occurrences on January 6, 2021, Tucker Carlson covered the curious circumstances surrounding Rap Epps.
"Epps was seen on camera inciting Trump supporters to go into the Capitol the night before the Jan. 6 protests.". . .
"Carlson reported Epps sent a text to his nephew claiming he ‘orchestrated it’.
"This is most certainly a suspicious claim to make at that juncture when temperatures were running very high.
"Carlson also revealed that, when Epps was interviewed by the January 6 House Select Committee, he claimed that he was heading back to his hotel in D.C. when he sent the text.
"Carlson then showed footage of Epps at the Capitol for at least half an hour after his text.". . .
This is the only Jan 6 participant Adam Kinzinger will defend!
