GOP Lawmaker Madison Cawthorn Claimed 'Democratic Machine' Paid Capitol Rioters to Make Trump Look Bad
As rioters supporting President Donald Trump attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, newly elected Republican North Carolina Congressman Madison Cawthorn told conservative talk radio program The Charlie Kirk Show that the "Democratic machine" had placed "agitators" among the mob in order to make Trump and his followers look bad.
Cawthorn also said that he carried multiple loaded weapons that day in the U.S. House chambers. His remarks went largely unnoticed until Sunday, when The Asheville Watchdog first reported them. His claims have also been contradicted by the FBI. (Whoever said that Republican lies would end with Trump's departure?)

GOP lawmaker claimed "Democratic machine" paid Capitol rioters to make Trump look bad
His claim has been repeated by numerous Republicans on social media but was disavowed as untrue by the FBI.
