After ann unexplained absence (and the unexplained deletion of her most recent whitewashing of Captiol rioter and domestic abuser Ryan Samsel), WorldNetDaily writer Alicia Powe returned to the whitewash beat in a Jan. 6 article:
Jan. 6 defendant Alan “AJ” Fischer, a military veteran who served as a senior airman for the U.S. Air Force, penned a letter to President-elect Donald Trump, along with Trump’s nominee for attorney general, Pam Bondi, and the rest of the incoming administration, explaining exactly why he believes every J6 defendant and prisoner deserves a presidential pardon.
Fischer was one of the many demonstrators who was shot in the face with rubber bullets by police while peacefully demonstrating on the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, 2021, and was nearly injured by the flashbang grenades cops indiscriminately threw into the crowd while lacing the air with tear gas.
Following the protest that police escalated into a deadly riot, Fischer founded Investigate J6, an organization that faithfully gathered and investigated the thousands of hours of CCTV and police bodycam footage along with the totality of video obtained by the media and protesters that fateful day.
[…]For peacefully standing on the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, 2021, as the police waged its shockingly aggressive attack on the crowd, Fischer was arrested more than a year later, on Jan. 13, 2022, in a predawn raid conducted by the FBI. He was charged with “assaulting, resisting, or impeding federal officers,” “disorderly conduct,” “civil disorder” and “entering restricted grounds.”
In fact, Fischer was anything but “peacefully standing”:
According to investigators, Fischer was an instigator among the mob of Donald Trump supporters seeking to breach the building and stop Congress from certifying the results of Joe Biden‘s win in the 2020 presidential election. He is seen on video throwing a traffic cone, two chairs, and a pole toward a line of police that were trying to push back the crowd of rioters.
But before that, prosecutors say, Fischer helped lead the charge to overwhelm police trying to guard the Capitol building.
[…]According to the affidavit, Fischer allegedly yelled encouragement to the crowd as he continued to push against the line of officers. He stayed there for around 45 minutes and “continued to work with other rioters” to overwhelm police, the affidavit says.
Fischer later returns to the west front of the Capitol, and is seen carrying an orange traffic cone on his right hand. According to the affidavit, he also picks up a chair and walks toward scaffolding where police are stationed.
“Seconds later, Fischer can be seen throwing an orange traffic cone and chair in the direction of the officers,” the affidavit says.
Less than two minutes later, Fischer is seen throwing a pole at the line of officers. He then retrieves a second chair and throws it toward the officers, the affidavit says.
Funny that Powe didn’t mention any of this — or the fact that he is a thuggish Proud Boy. Or that online sleuths identified Fischer based on photos from his underwear modeling career.
Powe went on to whine that “January 6 was an outrageous and illegal governmental attack on the American people, Fischer explains in his letter urging the incoming commander-in-chief to issue blanket pardon.” In that letter — which Powe attached to the end of her article and made no apparent effort to fact-check — Fischer insisted he was totally blameless:
Everything seen on J6 was a direct result of the policing failure outside the Capitol on the West Plaza. The West Plaza crowd did not deserve indiscriminate attacks. It was not a mob, or a militia, but was representative of any Trump speech attendees: families, old and young, men women and children. There is no question that the January 6th protest outside the US Capitol would not have devolved into a riot, were it not for the unrelenting police munitions and abuses, and the planned security failures.
If you’re a Proud Boy, you are in fact part of a mob or militia, whether Powe wants to admit it or not. And deliberately hiding facts to falsely whitewash a person’s criminal acts makes Powe a bad and unreliable reporter.
