Revolver News’ Beattie: Out of All the Jan. 6th Rioters, Why Is Ray Epps the Only Person the NYT Just Happens to Write a Puff Piece For?

EXCERPT:

BEATTIE: "Well, it’s pretty remarkable. I mean, let’s take all of this in. The one person caught repeatedly urging people into the Capitol as early as January 5th is the one person of all of the January 6 riot participants that 'The New York Times' just happens to write this ultra-sympathetic puff piece for. It’s quite remarkable. And to look at the piece itself, as you suggested in your intro, there are some real glaring omissions from a journalistic standpoint to have access to this guy. Number one, in the entire piece, there is no blanket explicit denial on part of Epps to have been associated with any intelligence group, DHS, JTTF, military intelligence, so forth, just reiterates his very legal denial of being involved with law enforcement. Number two, the piece describes Epps as a Trump supporter, he just went to D.C. to defend Trump and to attend the speech on a last minute thing with his son to attend Trump's speech on election fraud. The only thing is, Epps didn’t attend the speech. Epps travels all the way from Arizona to D.C., this big Trump supporter, and he doesn’t even attend the speech? Instead, he fixates on this bizarre mission to get everyone to go into the Capitol and, by the way, just happens to be hanging out right by the initial breach point near the monument on the west side of the Capitol before the Proud Boys even get there? And thirdly, where did Ray Epps get this idea? This whole piece doesn’t explore that question at all. Here’s the one person calling for everyone to go in. Where did you get that idea, Ray Epps?”
