Contrary to common media narratives that often link such acts to right-wing extremists,Cole Jr. has more connections to left-wing figures and causes, including ties through his father, Brian Cole Sr., to prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who represented George Floyd&#8217;s family and other high-profile racial justice cases.Cole Sr.was represented by Crump in a racial discrimination case involving his Tennessee bail bonds business. The article highlights the media&#8217;s inconsistent coverage and suggests that Cole Jr.&#8217;s background challenges prevailing assumptions about January 6-related violence, pointing to a more complex political and social context than widely portrayed.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Not that we&rsquo;re keeping score &mdash; although the establishment media certainly does &mdash; but one would not have had money on the fact that the man who <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >allegedly put pipe bombs<\/a> outside the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters set to explode on Jan. 6, 2021 had more ties to George Floyd than he did the Oath Keepers or &ldquo;election deniers.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In the latest narrative-disrupter for the left, Brian Cole Jr., a 30-year-old Virginia man, stands accused of planting the bombs on the night of Jan. 5, 2021.
