Matt Bracken publicly advocated for actions that led to the January 6th Capitol storming, but later pivoted to blame Antifa and claim it was a false flag operation to evade responsibility.

So that was all some pretty blustery stuff, and honestly, based on what Bracken is saying, the sixth went down exactly how he would have wanted it to. Everything he was saying needed to be done was done, and the only problem is that the coup wasn't successful. Tons of people showed up hoping to intimidate Congress into stopping the certification, and when that didn't work, people stormed the Capitol as Bracken clearly identified as one of the necessary steps that you could escalate to. I'm sure that on January 6th, if you had footage of Bracken, he would have been more excited than Harrison Smith, saying that the Capitol had fallen to the Patriots. But after the fact... This doesn't look good. When your coup fails and you're left in a position where you publicly advocated for all the things that went into the failed coup, you probably need to pivot a little bit.
