Has the Jan. 6 committee scared extremists groups?

ISD US’s Head of Public Affairs & Strategic Communications, Anthony DeAngelo, spoke with the Christian Science Monitor about the greater role of the January 6th committee on the extremists groups that participated in the attack at the Capitol, as well as those who have watched over the investigation from the sidelines.

Comparing to turning the light on in a kitchen, he said “we’ve seen the bugs scatter a little bit. These groups are becoming more isolated, decentralized, and a little more paranoid.”
