Original Note:
Greenwald implies that the “zip-tie” claim made by the media is false and deliberately so, for melodramatic effect. This tweet is deliberately misleading. There are, in fact, photos of rioters present in the Capitol on Jan 6th with zip-tie handcuffs on their person. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/zip-cuffs-capitol-riots/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2021/01/14/prosecutor-us-capitol-rioter-zip-ties-meant-to-take-hostages/4168195001/
