The Spin

Anti-Trump narrative

Donald Trump has not only unleashed a domestic terrorism movement, but he has been actively stimulating his followers to engage in dangerous behavior, such as doxxing a former US president. It's no coincidence that Capitol riot fugitive Taranto was arrested near Obama's home just days after Trump posted on his Truth Social the alleged address of the Obamas' residence.

Pro-Trump narrative

While Taranto has indeed attended some nightly vigils for the Jan. 6 political prisoners, he was kicked out for acting strange and claiming that Ashli Babbitt was not shot dead by police. One can just wonder why the Feds took so long to arrest him, allowing him to walk free in Washington, D.C., even though he was inside the Capitol and near Babbitt when she was killed.
