Rush Limbaugh Compares Capitol Hill Riot to American Revolution

Limbaugh served as an apologist for the rioters, calling them "Americans who have gotten tired of being ignored and lied about and smeared as racists by these very Democrats in the media and the popular culture."

Limbaugh then repeated a right-wing claim that the rioters were "undoubtedly ... some Antifa Democrat-sponsored instigators," a claim repeated by Republican Florida Representative Matt Gaetz, Republican Alabama Representative Mo Brooks and pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood which has also spread on social media.

Fact-checkers have debunked the claim that left-wing Antifa instigators raided the capital.
