No, the entire group wasn't Antifa, but it has been confirmed that one man was.

Remember that case in Provo Utah where an Antifa crowd blocked traffic and one of them walked up and shot a driver in the head? The Antifa person in question was in that crowd.

Whether it's five or five thousand, it's very interesting that rather than the usual counter-protest, Antifa infiltrated the Trump supporter crowd. What do you suppose they were doing? Were they doing like "umbrella guy" and trying to make the group look as bad as possible? Were they the ones with the bright idea of charging the Capital building? Good questions and we don't have answers for them.

I knew it was only a matter of time before the Trump boot-lickers tried to turn their failed coup debacle around and pin it on the Left. They expect everyone else to accept responsibility for their actions but that rule doesn't apply to them for whatever reason.

Give it up, Trumpies. You own this and there's no getting out of it. Your compatriots are being fired from their jobs and arrested as we speak. If anything, you guys should be celebrating this since you claim to support law and order.

As a matter of consistency, the Republicans must and have denounced the riot. But it is quite curious that the Left is so very hypocritical, insisting that their violent extremists are "peaceful protesters" while denouncing exactly the same behavior when the "other team" does it.

If you condemned BLM and Antifa for their rampage of violence and destruction, good for you. If you didn't then that's pretty damned hypocritical.

My position? Violence is always bad. Politically driven violence is especially dangerous and intolerable. So why the holy hell did the Left praise six months of violence and chaos by BLM/Antifa, but six hours of it on the Right is the worst thing that ever happened ever?? Why is there a Black Lives Matter Plaza, Black Lives Matter streets, etc.? If you actively endorse groups who engage in rampant violence, then you're in no position to criticize it when somebody else does the same things.

The path to sanity is condemning political violence no matter what, and treating those guilty of it in exactly the same way. I have yet to see any indication that the Democrats will even attempt to rise above their own ridiculous hypocrisy.

I denounce violence whoever commits it, be it Trump supporters or ANTIFA. But an assault on our nation's capitol goes far beyond anything most Americans are willing to stomach. I know this sounds bad but I'd much rather ANTIFA, Proud Boys, etc. vandalize or what have you than try and do what Trump supporters did the other day.

Their actions were a coup attempt plain and simple. Their intention was to install their choice for President over the wishes of the vast majority of law abiding American citizens. That's a threat to our very way of life.

You mean supporting chaos and disorder as well as the killing of a US Capitol cop!
