As Politico reports, an employee–scratch that, now ex-employee–of the well-known conservative astroturf organizing group FreedomWorks, Brandon Prenzlin, recently joined the 650-odd insurrectionists facing charges over the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th supporting efforts to overturn the 2020 elections:
An FBI investigation that included an airport stakeout led to the arrest Friday of a former grassroots organizer for the conservative group FreedomWorks for allegedly taking part in the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6 as electoral votes were being tallied…
FreedomWorks highlighted a series of election fraud claims before and after the vote last November, stoking the same anger that brought many to the Capitol to insist — incorrectly — that former President Donald Trump had won reelection.
However, after the Jan. 6 riot, the advocacy group issued a statement saying violence had undercut “the very foundations of what our founding fathers built.”
Because Mr. Prenzlin was only inside the U.S. Capitol for a few minutes, he appears to have been harder to track down than the many hundreds of other insurrectionists who were picked up in the immediate aftermath. The complaint against Prenzlin filed in D.C. federal court details how Prenzlin was identified in part by blue lace-up shoes he wore in the Capitol on January 6th and was later photographed wearing at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver on June 19th of this year. Those same shoes gave Prenzlin away to federal agents tailing him at Washington National Airport the next day.
We’re inclined to think that if WCS attendees had known the FreedomWorks table was manned by a real-life January 6th insurrectionist, he would have been a lot more popular! We’ll probably never know exactly when the bosses at FreedomWorks knew Prenzlin was inside the Capitol–but given that Prenzlin was reportedly only fired on September 20, there’s a good possibility that the only sin in FreedomWorks’ eyes was getting caught.
Next insurrection, throw away the shoes.
Can't be a traveling shill on the no fly list dumbass
He looks like a garden variety incel to me. They're the ones you have to watch most.
Somebody must have betrayed their blood-orange oath to never reveal any of their most solemn incel-society secrets??? . . .
Oh, and btw, do you still get to count yourself as incel if . . . um . . . well, you know . . . “date” . . . yeah, maybe “date” . . . um . . . haha . . . um . . . kleenex box?
(Asking for a good friend . . .)
Strictly mariposa footwear. Real men and women wear Lucchese, Tony Lama or other cowperson boots!
I just read that he was arrested on four criminal counts today.
Details to come…..
I'll sleep well tonight knowing this dangerous criminal ( only in the Capital for a few minutes) has finally been apprehended due to the many man hours of gumshoe investigative work by the FBI.
Meanwhile thousands of undocumented migrants illegally enter the United States ( some with criminal records and covid infected) complements of Biden's open border policies while federal law enforcement are told to stand down and ignore enforcing immigration law.
He's probably only a danger to himself, but hey, we must have law and order, right ?
It's Friday so I guess we get to spin the wheel. Covid is the fault of….Hugo Chavez….the WHO…Dr. Fauci…Bill Gates….and…and…it lands on undocumented immigrants !
Sooo, allyn.
President Biden is catching hell for sending plane load after plane load of refugees back to Haiti. Why do I not hear you praising him for that? Seriously.
Sweet dreams . . .
(. . . in your tin-foil faraday cage)
Let’s not forget that FreedomWorks is a pet project of the Koch Brother
