I mean, literal founding members of groups like "Maryland Skinheads" were leading the charge to break into the capitol.

100% Nazis were there.

EDIT: Like, Jason Tankersley is standing there next to Q Shaman in tons of pics. How is this controversial?



Jayden X was one of the very first in. It's on video. Would be tough to characterize him as a Nazi.

The point is that there are many people with many ideologies, ugly or not, that patriciate in this year-long age of unrest. Can we stop with trying to characterize everything as something?


In this classic picture https://news.yahoo.com/q-shaman-stormed-capitol-upset-192631...

the guy in the yellow shirt is Jason Tankersley, founder of the Maryland Skinheads. The guy to his right in the mask is Matthew Heimbach, former leader of the Traditionalist Workers Party (a neo nazi org).

The fact that you can point to someone there that wasn't a nazi doesn't negate the fact that 100% nazis were both there and prominent.
