Political figures ranging from Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) have speculated that Epps was secretly working for the FBI, something that the crowd of Trump supporters apparently cottoned on to, in the world of the theory. Cruz himself brought the theory up at a Senate hearing Tuesday morning, demanding of a senior FBI official: “was Ray Epps a fed?”

No, Ray Epps was not a Fed, but lemme tell ya about the “Giant Vinegaroon Man of Yuma County.”

His face is indistinguishable from an asshole.

I swear, the energy these dumbest of all times use thinking up dumb excuses for crimes could light a major city for months.

So, basically a confession that he’s CIA or any number of other non-LEO fed agencies.

Considering his full name is Raymond Frederick Epps, I’d say they need to have their ears checked. Except that they’re painted on.

So let me get this straight. The FBI (bunch of Trumpers) infiltrate the Proud Boys (Basement-dwelling Trumpers) with one of their own? And this is at the instruction of Trump (who runs the Feds)?

Though it is a trusim that the guy selling you explosives is always with the Feds.
