'Unbelievable And Ridiculous': Jason Aldean's Wife Brittany Irate After Antifa Conspiracy Theory About Capitol Riots Shut Down By IG
Country crooner Jason Aldean's wife, Brittany, is stirring up controversy by promoting an unfounded theory on the riots that took place at the U.S. Capitol.

The star is hardly the only one to push the conspiracy, which stemmed from an article in The Washington Times claiming facial recognition software XRVision identified the two men as Antifa members. But soon after, XRVision debunked the claim, and asked for the publication to apologize and remove the incorrect article from the web.

The violent scene in Washington, D.C., resulted in the deaths of at least six people, including two police officers — one of which reportedly died by suicide.
Since then, countless politicians and Americans have been calling for Congress to invoke the 25th amendment to pull Trump from office. And now, it seems like they could be moving ahead on impeaching him for the second time.
