from Today Explained · host Today Explained
U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) sparked intense debate on the Senate floor by defending a controversial Department of Justice (DOJ) fund while claiming that the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection was actually a "coup" orchestrated by former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and a Democratic "deep state".During his floor remarks, Tuberville asserted that the deep state infiltrated the crowd with Antifa and intelligence assets to intentionally instigate chaos.
