This article uses loaded language to make a defamation claim against Nick Fuentes. Nick Fuentes is still on Twitter, and pinned to the top of his page is photo evidence that shows the person they are asserting was in the Capitol is not him. He was wearing a suit. The photo of him at the steps of the Capitol is not incriminating in any way. He was protesting along with 250K+ other conservatives in Washington DC. It's not a crime to hold a megaphone in front of the Capitol. It's literally his First Amendment right. This article is false, baiting, and loaded. Please remove it.

Pretty sure if he made it to the steps, he would have crossed through a police barricade. That means he was protesting on restricted grounds w/o lawful authority and plenty of others have been arrested for that same violation. Not sure why he wouldn't be liable for the same.


Do you even know where the barricades were and where this photo was? He said that photo was on the lawn. If this guy was guilty he would have already been arrested by the FBI. Guy is in a suit and a public personality. He's even still got his Twitter account, despite the Purge. The rest of the article goes on to imply that the addresses who received Bitcoin were also involved in the riot but provides absolutely no evidence to that claim. The donor's motivations do not mention some sort of secret plan to attack the Capitol.
