The Arizona man who stormed the Capitol dressed in what he said was the garb of a figure from the Book of Mormon has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor. Nathan Wayne Entrekin, 48, clad in what prosecutors described as a “Roman Gladiator Costume,” was among the hundreds of Donald Trump supporters who breached the Capitol on Jan. 6 in an attempt to stop Congress from certifying the results of Joe Biden’s win in the 2020 presidential election.

“I’m representing Captain Moroni, Captain Moroni of the Book of Mormon,” Entrekin told another person, according to the statement of facts. “A William Wallace (‘Braveheart’) figure of the Book of Mormon.”

According to the Book of Mormon, the sacred text of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Captain Moroni was the chief captain of the Nephites. As the statement of facts said, Captain Moroni is believed to have led a fight against a group that “wanted to overthrow democracy and install a king.”

Entrekin took many recordings throughout the day, including one as he reached the top of a set of stairs outside the building:

I made it Mom. I made it to the top. Mom, look, I made it to the top, to the top here. Look at all the patriots here. Haha, if I can make it up that, anybody can. [laughs] Oh man. Look at all the patriots here. Patriots, patriots, patriots. Look at all the people, Mom. Look at all that down there. And the monuments over there, way over there. I gotta catch my breath here. Sorry. Haha.

I’m here for Trump. Four more years, Donald Trump! Our rightful president! I made it to the relative top, anyway. Oh my gosh, how many of us are here? Must be like, millions. Couple million, maybe. I keep running into trees, though. I gotta get this first, though, before my costume falls off me. Check this out, Mom. All those people.

Entrekin pleaded guilty to parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. The charge carries a potential six-month jail sentence.

5. How is this man not mentally ill? How were this type not being exploited by the fascists?

Why don’t they know that…even as they sit in front of a judge awaiting sentence for their obvious illness they just confessed to by guilty plea? If there wasn’t a court ordered full psychological assessment maybe there will be one now before sentencing, That would be revealing, by an expert.

The finger has to point more squarely at the fascist leaders, both the brains and the hired gun militias…these are literally the useful idiots and useful gun worshippers/white inferiority complex folk they mixed into the vile brew in what must be the most incompetent coup plot in recent history,

6. Another pudgy middle-aged guy cosplaying as some kind of mythical hero.

I remember when my little brother, using a bath towel as a cape, ran around the house pretending to be Superman when he was about six. It's cute when you're six; just stupid when you're a grown-ass, testosterone-poisoned man who thinks invading the Capitol dressed as some kind of pretend Captain Awesome makes you a patriot. Just fucking pathetic.
