Al Alexander—the far-right political agitator notorious for organizing theJanuary 6thProtests that turned into bloody riots – covered his recenttwitter recoverylike a debutante party. He used his handle @Ali to insult political enemies (includingdestroyMarjorie Taylor Greene) and brag about her skills online. "Nobody wants to smoke Ali Alexander," he tweeted last week with typical modesty. "Can you imagine being stupid enough to come?crazy intelligent highly favored Ali Alexander?”
In his flashback to the public eye, Alexander divulged his connection to another humble man: the likely 2024 presidential candidate.Kanye West, now known as Ye. Appears in a newly releasedPodcast, Alexander has presented himself as one of Ye's best political confidants and promotes theRapper Hitlerliebenderas “the best thing to happen to American politics since Donald J. Trump. And I mean it. Without a lid. Not a friendly train.” Alexander urged Ye to prayerfully consider whether "God has really called him to run for office," but that "the answer looks like he's leaning toward a yes."
Alexander's sudden reappearance in American political life follows two years in the desert, when the agent was rocked by the January 6, 2021 fallout. lie that he was stripped of re-election.
As an organizer, Alexander worked with Trump representatives and longtime Tea Party activists to promote the demonstration at the Ellipse, where Trump urged angry crowds to march on Capitol Hill. To publicize the event, Alexandre set up the websiteWildProtest.com. The Capitol storming should not have come as a surprise to Alexander, who tweeted incendiary rhetoric in the run-up to the Electoral College certification, including thinly-veiled threats about what might happen if objections to the vote count were dropped ("Anyone can guess what I do and 500,000 others will do with this building") and revolutionary sentiments like "1776 is always an option". At a separate D.C. rally at Freedom Plaza on January 5, Alexander led the crowd with a chant: "Victory or death!”favorite editors
Alexander was not prosecuted. And unlike many January 6th players, he did not defend the Fifth Amendment before Congressional investigators, but spent hours talking to the January 6th committee. Thecopy ofThis statement was revealing - suggesting that Alexander gave MP Paul Gosar's team oneViolence early warningBrewing beer outside the Capitol.
In its latest document dump, the Jan. 6 committee also released text messages from Alexander's phone.January 5theJanuary 6th. These hundreds of messages provide a unique insight into events leading up to and during the invasion of the Capitol.
Alexander served as a central point in the information flow for the events of January 6th. He has since texted congressional staffers, GOP advisors, white supremacists, religious fanatics and oath-keepers, including Kelly Meggs.convicted of seditious conspiracy. The lyrics underscore Alexander's prescience that Trump would march with crowds to the Capitol. And while Alexander made futile attempts to calm the crowd at the time, he also advised his collaborators to keep a low profile after storming the Capitol because "the FBI is on the hunt."Rolling Stonesifted through messages Alexander sent to the committee on Jan. 6 and presented a chronological selection below to shed light on how events unfolded in real time for one of the day's top players.
