People uploaded GPS tagged video of the event to Parler? Of course they did. The videos were shared everywhere. They were on television and YouTube.

Wasn't the claim that the attack had been planned largely using Facebook and not Parler, rather than something that happened after?

Greenwald literally says in the twit you referenced that zero active Parler users were arrested in connection with the Capitol invasion.

Evidence says: "GPS coordinates taken from 618 Parler videos analyzed by Gizmodo has already been sought after by FBI as part of a sweeping nationwide search for potential suspects, at least 20 of whom are already in custody."

Evidence proved Greenwald's statement wrong.

I'm still not seeing the inconsistency, unless you have some evidence that the people who uploaded the videos were the same people who were arrested.
