Summary
Ryan Michael “Reily” English was arrested at the U.S. Capitol with Molotov cocktails and a knife, allegedly planning to kill newly confirmed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
Initially targeting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth or House Speaker Mike Johnson, English changed plans after learning about Bessent’s Senate vote.
He told police he was prepared to kill officers to reach his target and contemplated suicide by cop.
English also considered attacking the Heritage Foundation.
He faces multiple federal charges, including possession of explosives on Capitol grounds.
Seriously… If you didn’t actually do anything then just realize it was a bad idea and go home…
Instead he made Republicans jobs even easier by giving fox news a wonderful “violent left” story… Great job Ryan.
It’s almost too perfect isn’t it?
No one got hurt and they got a juicy story about the “violent left” with no investigation needed. It makes me question if the motive was to actually harm one of Trump’s cabinet picks, or if the goal was to hand wrap and deliver talking points to conservative media.
Is it only ok when the right says something is a false flag?
Because this does feel like a false flag
Alternatively though, he’s got national news reporting the note he wrote…
Judith is fucking disappointed in you, Ryan
It’s always a Ryan fucking shit up.
