Believe it or not, some waterheads still believe that the Capitol attack was not perpetrated by Trump supporters. And everyone’s favorite asshole and mine, Tucker Carlson, smells false flag in the air as well. He says that there were “agents provocateurs” there, inciting and weaponizing the crowd.

He’s drawn attention to a man seen on the front lines of the riot in red face paint, claiming he is clearly “law enforcement” because he has not been charged with a crime.

“Who is this person? Why hasn’t he been charged? That’s a very simple ask.”, Tucker says.

Sorry, Tucker. He’s one of yours.

He is mainly known to St. Louis Cardinals fans as “Rally Runner,” HuffPost has learned, and he sprints around the outside of Busch Stadium during home games. Based on the man’s Facebook posts, he appears to have a fairly difficult life and has a tenuous relationship with reality. And he’s a huge Tucker Carlson fan.

“Rally Runner” is somewhat of a local celebrity in St. Louis. A photo of him was featured in The St. Louis Post-Dispatch in October 2013, when the Cardinals reached the World Series. The man, who did not provide a name, told the paper his running “strengthens the spirit for the Cardinals to get the energy to win.” (They lost to the Red Sox in six games that year.) He also told St. Louis magazine in 2016 that running around the stadium was “spiritual,” that his “memory is horrible” and that he’d like to publish his journal as a book.

“Rally Runner” has built up a decent Facebook following, and, like millions of his fellow Facebook users who supported the former president, he also got swept up in lies that the 2020 presidential election had been stolen from Trump. He documented it all online, including his trip to Washington for the Jan. 6 rally that became a riot. He appears in many pictures taken that day — standing out in his signature red face paint, with a red “Keep America Great” hat standing in for his usual Cardinals cap. Online sleuths investigating the U.S. Capitol attack have nicknamed him #RedFace45 and tipped HuffPost off about his identity after Carlson’s show Monday.

Tucker Carlson will fall for anything. The more outrageous and conspiratorial, the better. That way, he doesn’t have to prove anything, ever-he’s merely “asking questions”. And his viewers have a memory like a retarded gnat so they won’t notice that their Lewiis Prothero is a complete dipshit.
