Between\u00a0<strong>Dean Cain<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Antonio Sabato Jr.<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Scott Baio<\/strong>, the star power at those rallies has just been off the charts!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it\u2019s sad days for the Trump posse, who hitched their wagons to a high plains grifter and listened when he said he was the only one they could trust. Now they\u2019re now in the position of either admitting he lost the election\u2026 or thinking they\u2019re all fighting some kind of conspiracy involving every election board in the country, tons of Republican elected officials, and of course, well over half of American citizens. (You know, enough people to just vote and elect the other guy.)<\/p>\n<p>More awkward this week was seeing some of Trump\u2019s most ardent defenders trying to excuse the fact he incited an insurrection as he told his followers to march to the Capitol Building while Congress was certifying the election on Wednesday \u2014 and they did, breaking in and taking over the building, delaying the inevitable if only by a few hours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Celebs React To Attack On Capitol<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Five people died in the Capitol riots, including a police officer. An explosive device was reportedly found. The American flag was ripped down and replaced with one that said Trump.<\/p>\n<p>How do you defend your guy with those facts on the table? Easy. You flip the table. As they have before with school shootings, right wingers have been flogging a new conspiracy theory to tell themselves this never happened.<\/p>\n<p>In this case? They\u2019re erroneously claiming those weren\u2019t Trump supporters. They\u2019re saying they were BLM and Antifa activists <em>posing<\/em> as Trump supporters to make Trump look bad.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously. This is what they\u2019re saying. Just look what Hercules tweeted on Wednesday:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">ANTIFA led the charge into the capitol building dressed as Trump supporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kevin Sorbo (@ksorbs) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ksorbs\/status\/1346924706255966208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 6, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>And this isn\u2019t just one guy saying something inane.

Those guys invading the Capitol <em>were<\/em> Trump supporters. Many of them are quite vocal ones with their own followings on Twitter and other social media sites. Several have been identified already.<\/p>\n<p>Hilariously, some of them have been responding to pundits trying propagate the conspiracy theory \u2014 denying they are Antifa and trying to make sure they get their credit for committing federal crimes.<\/p>\n<p>But you know Hercules \u2014 gotta keep fighting, no matter how lost the cause. So of course he kept pushing the ludicrous theory by tweeting the next day:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">They don\u2019t look like patriots to me\u2026 <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ABZG2s0G4v\">https:\/\/t.co\/ABZG2s0G4v<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kevin Sorbo (@ksorbs) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ksorbs\/status\/1346936096421072897?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 6, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Well, that\u2019s certainly true.
