Ali Alexander's Texts Show How Orchestrated Jan. 6 Chaos Was

Stop the Steal's Ali Alexander's text messages that he turned in to the Jan. 6 committee reveal the chaos at the Capitol. Rolling Stone looked at the hundreds of text messages from Alexander's phone from Jan. 5 and Jan. 6, and Ali was in constant contact with many of the miscreants involved in the attempted coup.
