Florida teacher canned for telling students Antifa raided the Capitol disguised as Trump supporters

preview

A central Florida school parted ways with a substitute teacher who took it upon herself to launch a remedial conspiracy theory program following last week’s deadly pro-Trump uprising at the nation’s Capitol. The “educator” ranted for more than two bizarre minutes that members of an anti-fascist movement disguised themselves as Trump supporters during the riot, then went nuts. “The supporters arrived, and suddenly there was violence,” she said. “Already, three of those have been identified as Antifa members that were in the building.” Advertisement The unidentified teacher — whose claim has no known basis in reality — was challenged by eighth-grade pupils who knew better. Yet she continued, claiming “we” have had problems with “this” throughout the summer. “When they’re paid to be there and cause a riot, they want to make it look like Trump supporters, so they wear Trump hats and carry Trump flags,” she continued. Advertisement She also claimed Trump supporters were trying to stop the fake Trump advocates from entering the Capitol. News station reports the incident occurred at Bok Academy, which seemed to refer to the crackpot teacher’s videotaped rant on its page. “Our administration is aware,” the school wrote. “The substitute is no longer employed at our school, nor within the LWCS system.” Dozens of Trump loyalists and no members of Antifa have been identified in connection with the attack that left five people dead, including a Capitol Hill police officer. It’s unclear who the teacher believes financed the supposed act of misdirection meant to make MAGA activists appear violent and deranged. Florida congressman Matt Gaetz is among the more prominent right-wing conspiracy theorists who have attempted to the violent insurrection against antifascists. The fervent Trump supporting representative has offered no evidence to support that charge. He has also claimed, without proof, that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against President Trump.
