Editorial: Florida traitors called the shots in lead-up to Jan. 6 attack. Televised details were damning

On the first night of prime-time hearings of a House Select Committee’s investigative findings into the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection last year, it became clear the despicable role Floridians played in the attack on the Capital.

It was painful to hear witness connect the dots that culminated in the attack, down to the initial security breach.

Evidence from the Committee shows that the far right-wing rioters and their leaders, Miami’s Enrique Tarrio, former Proud Boys national chairman, and Kelly Meggs, of Dunnellon, head of the Florida chapter of another extremist group, The Oath Keepers, were largely calling the shots in the hours before and in igniting the attack on the Capital.
