That Antifa guy the facial recognition supposedly caught false-flagging the Capitol yesterday turns out to be a well known QAnon douche from AZ.
Longtime Arizona QAnon supporter in horned helmet joins storming of U.S. Capitol
Among the supporters of President Donald Trump who mobbed their way into the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, one – unmistakable in his fur, horned hat and painted face – was Jake Angeli, a QAnon supporter who has been a fixture at Arizona right-wing political rallies over the past year.
Angeli was seen in photographs from Washington, D.C., amid protesters who turned violent and stormed the building, causing both chambers to suspend their intended action of the day: certifying the results of the presidential election for former vice president Joe Biden.
This dopey photo is making the rounds as if it offers some kind of proof.
The three people in that photo:
- Jake Angeli, the QAnon douche from AZ
- Jason Tankersley, founder of the Maryland Skinheads
- Matthew Heimbach, National Socialist Movement

At this point I really hope Parler's servers are getting ripped apart by forensic teams. The posts all over their on Wednesday, especially when they thought they were winning, were just amazing. Also, it is too bad for many of them that masks were so politicized. Much easier to see your face that way. The videos are also pretty funny with more than one, "Stop filming, idiot. You're doxxing us!" coming from the filmed crowd inside the Capitol.
