Former Navy SEAL Admits He Marched on Capitol on Jan. 6Jon Cherry/GettyHe’s a veteran of SEAL Team 4, a motivational speaker, and a fan of the Proud Boys. And he’s admitting to marching on the Capitol on Jan. 6. No wonder the FBI has questioned him.Shannon Rusch, a SEAL veteran and author of “A Warrior’s Mind,” was identified and tracked by John Scott-Railton, a senior researcher at the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab and Deep State Dogs, a research collective dedicated to identifying those present at the Capitol on Jan. 6. After The Daily Beast shared imagery of Rusch found by Scott-Railton and the research group, Rusch confirmed that he had been present on Capitol grounds on Jan. 6.Scott-Railton says he and researchers from Deep State Dogs combed through photographs and videos of the riot posted to social media and were able to identify Rusch marching to the Capitol alongside notable Proud Boys Joe “Rambo” Biggs and Ethan Nordean, and making their way past police barricades at the Capitol, further onto the grounds and underneath bleachers set up for President Joe Biden’s inauguration on the Capitol grounds. The identification of Rusch would add to the growing list of military veterans who descended on the Capitol to try and stop the certification of Biden’s Electoral College victory.‘Fetish for Freedom’: Roger Stone’s Oath Keeper Bodyguard Charged in Capitol RiotsIn a brief phone interview and an email exchange, Rusch said he marched on the Capitol on Jan. 6 “to exercise my 1st amendment rights” but that he “left the Capitol grounds at 1:45 and did not return to the Capitol grounds because it was in lock down.” Rusch said he did not go inside the building itself and that he had a speaking engagement online that verified his timeline of events.Rusch also confirmed that federal law enforcement had been in contact with him about Jan. 6 and that he “spoke with the FBI and my attorney relayed the details of the above to them, verifying the timeline and events.”There’s no imagery showing Rusch himself inside the buildin He’s a disgrace to the uniform he once wore. lock him up! IF HE ENTERED THE BLDG...LOCK HIM UP...ITS THAT SIMPLE...TRUMP ICITED A RIOT...LOCK HIM UP...RUDY INCITED A RIOT...LOCK HIM UP...NO SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR ANYONE...IM TIRED OF THIS PUSSY FOOTING AROUND.
