According to Mercury News, "Massaquoi can be seen in a video posted the day of the Capitol attack by Tim Gionet, a far-right activist arrested after he was seen lounging in Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's office. The video shows Massaquoi just inside a door to the Capitol with his phone out, recording the crowd of rioters facing off with a line of police in riot gear."

For his part, the California-based actor said he was not inside the building -- despite the footage -- with the report noting he went on Instagram immediately after the riot and told followers, "I did nothing wrong on the 6th. They can paint something as wrong, but I did nothing violent."

A friend of Massaquoi's who was present during the raid explained that FBI agents told them they were being scrutinized for associating with members of a social media group, the report notes.

The Mercury News also reports, "His [Massaquoi's] Instagram account shows he took part in an anti-vaccine rally near the entrance to the COVID-19 vaccination site at Dodgers Stadium in Chavez Ravine on Jan. 30. The protest led the Los Angeles Fire Department to briefly close the gates at the stadium entrance, but LAPD Chief Michel Moore said no one waiting in line was delayed for their vaccination appointments."

1. former netflix actor.

5. Oh yea, he just ruined his career. And that video he did for Prager U where he denies

there is any racial attacks on black men and any problems he has are of his own making - that doesn't help him either. I guess he blames George Floyd for passing a fake $20 for his own death.

14. His career? Bio includes a couple of"small rolls."

Don’t some prisons have in house, inmate performances?



Well, there we are.

17. The musical Prisoners of Love is a hit inside prison theater groups...

2. I notice Tim Gionet is looking at him very suspiciously (nt)

[Marrah_Goodman]

3. How sad to be so supportive of people who hate you.

[Dream Girl]

6. I would bet this guy doesn't consider himself to be black.

Seriously. Is he North African? He might think of himself as Arab or Berber. Self hating racial denialism is alive and well among Trump supposes of color.

[geardaddy]

8. I looked up the name

and it looks like most people with the surname Massaquoi are Liberian. So he's of West African background.

[Dream Girl]

18. My bad, I assumed he was Moroccan

[IronLionZion]

25. Liberian-American. His parents are immigrants

He was born in the US and claims he's eligible to run for president

[Merlot]

4. There's no such thing as a "Netflix actor"

Saying "FBI raids home of actor" just doesn't have the punch, I guess.

[inthewind21]

12. Yes there is

Netflix does their own productions. Some big names. Some that only got gigs in a Netflix original.

[Merlot]

27. Unless he's under contract to Netflix then he's an actor who has been in Netflix productions

[PatSeg]

16. Actually the word "Netflix" did catch my attention

Maybe that is why they included it in the headline. Still it is a rather clumsy headline, as so many of them are. "Actor" should have been enough.

[abqtommy]

7. I guess Massaquoi and his fellows have never heard of the legal charge of being an

accessory. Welcome to the world, guys.

[LudwigPastorius]

10. Justice is coming, you traitorous choad.

[Mr. Ected]

11. When you see the "truth" that these peoples' chosen media perpetuate every day

You know, the truth that is 100% fabrication, made even more egregious by failing to report the actual news, it's no wonder they thought that this coup was in America's best interests.

Until we shut down FOX and the right wing AM radio propaganda blasters, otherwise normal people will continue to be brainwashed and led down the road to ruin.

Their fault. I'm not excusing their behavior....everyone has the ability to discern truth from fiction....but as long as we allow the shit machine to spew on our fellow Americans, it's no wonder that tens of millions of people smell like shit.

[Dream Girl]

21. This is the crux. How can media outlets who intentionally spew disinformation and lies be held

Accountable? That is our problem.

[rockfordfile]

13. good

[Initech]

15. Dumbest criminals in history?

[bluedigger]

19. We all remember when Raw Story covered the ABC actress Lori Laughlin trial.

Oh. No we don't. You got a problem with Netflix, Raw Story? Let's talk it out.

[llashram]

20. Idiot!!!

lock him up with trump. They would enjoy each other's company I believe.

[Mr.Bill]

22. I guess my bar for guilt on 1/6 is lower than others,

but I think if you went past the police barricades you intended to overthrow the government.

I also think if the police had opened fire on the first few to break through the doors it would have been over very quickly.

23. There's an Iowa connection according to the Cedar Rapids Gazette

L.A. Times: Ex-Iowa football player entered U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, home raided by FBI
Actor Siaka Massaquoi was Hawkeye running back in 2000-2001

Last Friday, former Iowa football player Siaka Massaquoi’s North Hollywood home was raided by about 20 FBI agents.
. . .
Massaquoi was dismissed from the Hawkeyes in June 2002. He had been charged with second-offense drunken driving, driving with a suspended license, and providing false information to law officers during a March 2002 traffic stop.
. . .
Massaquoi was quoted in a Los Angeles Times story about participating in a protest of a COVID-19 vaccine center set up at Dodger Stadium.

A series of photos and videos showing Massaquoi at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. are on this Twitter feed.
. . .
“We had the right to walk into the Capitol because it’s ours,” Massaquoi said. “That’s our Capitol. That’s not the politicians’ Capitol. It’s ours.

“And you know what happened, the police, the Gestapo, came and stopped people from going into the building that is theirs. We have the right to go in there.”

24. Here's Siaka on a dating video

I thought he looked familiar. Dude is quite conservative so it figures he'd be a big Trumper
