Fox News gets it’s latest shocking terrible news as it’s revealed that Ray Epps — a Jan 6th insurrectionist who allegedly urged people to enter the Capitol despite never entering the building himself — is preparing to the sue the network for spreading conspiracy theories that he was a secret government agent.
The idea became incredibly popular in MAGA circles after the insurrection. Trumpers wanted to believe that Epps was an FBI agent or something similar because it would mean that the deadly coup attempt was actually the government’s fault.
Tucker Carlson suggested that the failure to prosecute Epps was a result of him being protected by the government.
Epps and his wife were forced to leave their home in Arizona and have been living in hiding thanks to a slew of death threats from right-wingers who have fallen for the conspiracy theory.
“We informed Fox in March that if they did not issue a formal on-air apology that we would pursue all available avenues to protect the Eppses’ rights. That remains our intent,” said a lawyer for Epps.
While Epps himself deserves little sympathy for his role in the insurrection, all bad news for Fox News should be celebrated. Losing the Dominion Voting lawsuit was a disaster for them. Hopefully, this story has a similar ending.
