Jan. 6 rioter dressed in Stars and Stripes attacked cops with Trump flag: FBI
Raw StoryAn accused Jan. 6 rioter was arrested Thursday on charges involving attacking police with a Trump flag while holding a "stop the steal" sign, an FBI affidavit stated. According to NBC News, the details surrounding his involvement on Jan. 6 "once again underlines the motivation of the violent pro-Trump mob that attacked officers and tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power, even as Trump supporters continue to spread conspiracy theories baselessly blaming left-wing activists and federal agents." The FBI says Ligocki "was observed approaching the Lower West Terrace entryway of the Capitol building and swinging a pole with a 'Trump' flag at law enforcement officers three times while carrying a 'Stop the Steal' sign." In other evidence obtained by the FBI, Ligocki messaged people describing Jan. 6 as "awesome" and called Trump "a lone wolf" and then-Vice President Mike Pence "a snake."
