A pro-Trump rioter involved in the storming of the US Capitol who allegedly hit police officers with a fire extinguisher travelled to Washington, DC on a bus organised by conservative group Turning Points USA (TPUSA).

A court filing by the attorney for Robert Sanford, 55, reveals that he “traveled to the District on a bus organised by Turning Point USA, a mainstream young conservative organisation, with approximately fifty other people”.

The bus rides were promoted ahead of time by the group and conservative youth activist Charlie Kirk, founder of student organisation Turning Point Action, an offshoot of TPUSA.

The group arranged transport to the 6 January Trump rally at the Ellipse between the White House and the Washington Monument to see president Donald Trump speak.

In the days after the storming of the Capitol by the rioters, The Daily Dot reported that Mr Kirk deleted a tweet he had posted on 4 January, saying that the group would be sending more than 80 buses to Washington to “fight for this president”.

1. Is that one of the busses that Ginni paid for?

[Cracklin Charlie]

2. My exact question.

3. According to snopes, those are the busses, but Ginni didn't pay for them...

She got conflated w/ Turning Point USA but hadn't been involved w/ them for a couple years.

13. A murderous bastard.

Hitting a person in the head with a fire extinguisher can result in death or worse.

His co-conspirators, including Ginni Cult Thomas, also are responsible.
