D.C. Pipe Bombing Suspect Believed Trump’s Big Lie on 2020 Election
The man who planted pipe bombs at the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters the day before January 6 seems to have been motivated by MAGA election denialism.
Virginia resident Brian Cole, 30, was taken into custody on Thursday after being charged with placing the bombs on January 5, 2021, the day before Congress was to certify the 2020 presidential election.
Cole reportedly told FBI investigators that he believed unsubstantiated theories about the 2020 presidential election being stolen from Donald Trump. Sources told CNN he made multiple statements as he spent hours with the FBI.
While the FBI has yet to declare a motive or publicly matter on the report, it’s clear that Trump’s biggest lie played a role in the incident of political violence.
