Stewart Rhodes lied to the FBI and on air by claiming his men entered the Capitol only to provide medical aid after a shooting.

This is complete bullshit. Ashley Babbitt was shot at 2:44 p.m. And you kind of have to assume that there wouldn't be immediate relaying of this information to people outside the Capitol. There's a decent chance that if you were in the crowd, it would take longer for you to learn about that than someone just watching TV. Being as generous as I'm willing to be, let's say that it took six minutes for word to get out from the site of the shooting to the wider population outside. Why not? Sure. It's arbitrary, but it also doesn't matter. By that point, Stewart's co-conspirators had breached the Capitol and were in contact with him. And very obviously, he knew what was going on. For example, quote, at 2:35, Megs, Watkins, Hackett, Morsell, and others joined together to form Stack One. Harrelson joined Stack One when it reached the top of the steps. At the top of the steps, Stack 1 pushed forward as part of a mob that aggressively advanced toward the rotunda doors, assaulting the law enforcement officers guarding the doors, threw objects and sprayed chemicals towards the officers and the doors, and pulled violently at the doors. At 2.39 p.m., a member of Stack 1 joined the crowd in forcibly pushing against one of the rotunda doors and the law enforcement officers guarding that door. The mob then breached the doors and the stack one member entered the building. Shortly after the mob breached the rotunda doors, Megs, Harrelson, Watkins, Hackett, Morselle, and others forced their way through the doors into the Capitol. This is all before 2.44 when Ashley Babbitt was shot. My advice, and this has been the case ever since I've watched reality TV shows about like the first 48 and all of that stuff, you have the right to remain silent. You could just not go to the FBI and lie directly to their family. I'm not even certain that Stuart's being honest about talking to the FBI and stuff. Well, yeah, that's fair. I have to take that as coming from him as opposed to something I know to be true. That's a good point. That's a good point. But look, the point is he's saying this on Alex's show, and it can't possibly be true. No. There's no chance that their actions could be motivated by a concern about a person being shot. And Stewart knows what he's doing on this show. He's lying to provide cover for himself and his militia.
