NYT Reporter: ‘There Were a Ton of FBI Informants’ at the Capitol on January 6

A Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter allegedly claimed, “There were a ton of FBI informants amongst the people” at the Capitol on January 6, according to a video released by Project Veritas.

Matthew Rosenberg is the New York Times’s national security correspondent and co-author of “The Next Big Lies: Jan. 6 Was No Big Deal, or a Left-Wing Plot.” In that article, New York Times reporters wrote that conservative outlets’ suggestions that “the F.B.I. planted agents to stir up the crowd” is a “false flag,” “instant rewriting of history,” and a “reimagining” of January 6.

However, Rosenberg contradicted his reporting when speaking to an undercover Project Veritas reporter. Rosenberg reportedly said the New York Times “went and uncovered the fact that like, there were a ton of FBI informants amongst the people who attacked the Capitol.”.......

Rosenberg reportedly went on to explain how he believes the left overreacted to the January 6 Capitol Riot, an event he said was “fun.”

“The left’s overreaction, the left’s reaction to it [Jan. 6], in some places, was so over the top. It was like, me and two other colleagues who were there [Jan 6th], who were outside and we were just having fun,” Rosenberg said. “Dude, come on, like, you [NYT staff] were not in any danger [on Jan 6],” he added.

The Project Veritas reporter questioned Rosenberg about his characterization of the day as “fun,” asking him, “Are you allowed to have that much fun on January 6th? Aren’t you supposed to be mourning?” In response, Rosenberg called out the New York Times’s younger reporters for presenting a false sense of danger and milking their trauma from being in the Capitol that day.

“I know, I know, I’m supposed to be traumatized. But like all these colleagues who were in the [Capitol] building, and they’re young and are like, ‘Oh my God it was so scary!’ I’m like, ‘**** off,’” he said.

He went on to call out five of his co-workers at the Times by name for exaggerating their trauma. Rosenberg called New York Times reporters Zolan Kanno Youngs, Adam Goldman, and Sabrina Tabernise “******* little dweebs who keep going on about their trauma.” He added, “Shut the **** up.”

Rosenberg then mentioned New York Times reporters Emily Cochrane and Nick Fandos when the Project Veritas reporter asked which Times reporters wrote about their trauma.

“I don’t know if they wrote about their trauma. This chick named Emily Cochrane and this guy named Nick Fandos, who are both in their twenties. They cover Congress. So, like congressional reporters. ****** ’ ******* ,” Rosenberg reportedly said.
