Brandon Straka, who launched a social media campaign encouraging voters to leave the Democratic Party, has been arrested in connection with the assault on the U.S. Capitol this month. - NBCOUT

The self-described "former liberal" became a conservative media darling after he launched the #WalkAway campaign to urge others to defect to the GOP.

At one point, the crowd was challenged by a Capitol Police officer with a shield. Straka told them,"Take it away from him," according to the affidavit."I was quite close to entering myself as police began tear gassing us from the door," reads a screenshot of a tweet the FBI said it received."I inhaled tear gas & got it in my eyes. Patriots began exiting shortly after saying Congress had been cleared.

"Perhaps I missed the part where it was agreed this would be a revolution of ice cream cones & hair-braiding parties to take our government back from lying, cheating globally interested swamp parasites," he added."My bad."

MAGA media looks to turn White House briefing room into a battlefieldTrump showered his allies in the conservative media with VIP treatment. But they’re on the outside now — and looking to draw blood from the new administration. Maybe they can set up shop in Melania's Rose Garden. Has to be some good use for the space she destroyed. i can't wait for their questions about why potus wants to help states that are struggling, or how come he's getting more vaccine out to the states than his predecessor, or why he would cancel student loan debt for hamstrung families? charlatans It’s called “What goes around comes around!”
