Ali Alexander, the organizer of the "Stop the Steal" movement, said three Republican representatives helped him plan the rally on January 6 that preceded the armed insurrection at the Capitol that left five people dead.
Alexander said Reps. Andy Biggs, Mo Brooks, and Paul Gosar helped him plan the rally, which happened as Congress was getting ready to certify the electoral votes and cement President-elect Joe Biden's victory,
The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.
"
We four schemed up of putting maximum pressure on Congress while they were voting," Alexander
said in a Periscope video that has since been deleted, The Post reported.
According to The Post, he added that the plan was to "change the hearts and the minds of Republicans who were in that body, hearing our loud roar from outside."
