A Retired Medford Police Officer was spreading rumors online that Antifa was behind President Trump's Massacre on the Capitol Building.

The retired officer REMOVED the post after I chastised him. The Antifa misinformation, spread in part by See You Next Tuesday Laura Ingraham on the lies-infested Fox News was also published in a major newspaper AND THEN RETRACTED!

POOR RUBY FREEMAN
SHE'S AN HONEST POLL WORKER THAT THE TRUMP SUPPORTERS SPREAD FAKE NEWS ON, PUBLISHING STORIES THAT SHE 'CONFESSED" AND USING A FAKE INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT TO HARASS HER.
SHE IS ALLEGEDLY FACING DEATH THREATS DUE TO THE SICK BASTARDS WHO FOLLOW DONALD J. TRUMP
A Georgia poll worker is in hiding due to criminal Trump
Harry MacGilvray as head of the police association needs to denounce Trump and resign ...this type of ugly behavior where poll workers are harassed, and the head of the Medford Police Union brazenly promotes criminal Trump while people are dying is just not normal behavior.

It turns out that the now-deleted Instagram account, which went by
@RubyFreeman_Georgia, was created the same day the message was posted
and did not belong to Freeman. The user behind the account also admitted
that the account was started as a shell account in an attempt to get
people to stop spreading disinformation.
FBI Posted No Such Statement
Fact-checking website Snopes has now debunked the claim saying that there seems to be "no truth" behind this rumor.
Firstly, the website rummaged through websites as well as social media pages belonging to the FBI, its Atlanta division, and other law enforcement offices including the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Georgia, and the Fulton County Police Department, and found no mention or statement of Freeman's alleged arrest.
Part of a Wider Conspiracy Theory
Secondly, the rumor seemed be one of many false claims pushed by the Trump campaign in its smear campaign against the U.S. electoral process and its bid to overturn the results of the presidential election.
Earlier this month, Trump, his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and other conspiracy theorists shared a video claiming to show a Georgia election worker they identified as Freeman removing ballots from a suitcase hidden under a table and counting them illegally after asking observers to leave the room.
The rumor was later debunked by election officials and it was found that the video was selectively edited to push the conspiracy theory that election workers had dragged out fraudulent ballots under the cover of night. According to the theory, those suitcases helped swing Georgia's Electoral College votes to President-elect Joe Biden.
