Mainstream media: January 6 pipe-bomber was pro-Trump
After Brian Cole Jr. was arrested on Thursday, the corporate media reported that he was a Trump supporter who was radicalized by claims that the 2020 election was stolen. “The man charged with planting two pipe bombs near the Democratic and Republican party headquarters on the eve of the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol told the fbi he believed conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, according to two people familiar with the matter,” nbc News summarized. The identity of the “two people familiar with the matter” is unknown, but the criminal affidavit against Cole alleges that he began purchasing the components used to make the bombs in 2019, months before the 2020 election was even held, much less stolen. Cole’s grandmother told the Daily Mail that he has no party affiliation and never votes, so the corporate media narrative, once again, appears to be driven by a political agenda more than by evidence.
