A right-wing activist known for his unwavering support for former President Donald Trump and for urging Democrats to walk away from their party has been arrested for participating in the Capitol insurrection.

Brandon Straka, 43, has been charged with several crimes, including impeding a law enforcement officer during civil disorder and engaging in disorderly conduct with the intent to disturb a hearing before Congress, for his role in the Jan. 6 siege.

In the eight-minute video taken on Jan. 6, a Capitol Police officer is seen holding a protective shield as he tries to stop a crowd of rioters. As individuals push past the officer to break into the Capitol, Straka is heard yelling, “Take it away from him” and “Take the shield!”

Several people in the crowd then grab the officer’s shield as Straka continues to yell: “Take it! Take it!”

I used to read your twitter page. You're an asshole. It's closed now. Your last tweets were throwing trans women under the bus. You get to pass judgement on no one. Telling the crowd to take away a police officer's shield. 'Play stupid games, win stupid prizes'. Enjoy prison!!!

2. James Woods has made his account private too.

If those clowns can restrict who sees their tweets then twitter can restrict who gets to and who doesn't get to tweet, including Trump.

3. Yep, the jackass behind the fake "walk away" nonsense.

He wanted attention. He's going to get lots of it now.

4. He's a nasty guy.

He was tweeting that he's gay and the lgtbq movement should have stopped at g. I was going to call him a kapo.
