People wanted to know what\u2019s next. And I believe they were emotionally charged. A lot of people were emotionally charged and could have got sucked in,\u201d Epps said. \u201cSo, when these guys tried to hijack it, I think some innocent people, people that meant well, probably were emotionally charged and did some things they normally wouldn\u2019t do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ray Epps a mysterious January 6 figure One suspect claimed to be a federal agent, and told his nephew that. \u201corchestrated\u201d What happened that day in 2021.
