In late 2020, ahead of the Capitol attack, Lewis’ Facebook page featured anti-Hunter Biden memes, a celebration of the appointment of Amy Coney Barrett, reposts of both Donald Trump Jr. and then-Trump attorney Jenna Ellis, as well as praise for former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany: “Savage, Patriot, Fearless, Warrior 🇺🇲.”
Another recent Jan. 6 arrestee who had also been the subject of claims he was antifa is Paul Orta, who wore a dark-colored balaclava on Jan. 6 and was seen ripping down fencing as the mob began flooding onto the restricted grounds of the Capitol, in footage cited by the FBI.
Complicating the effort to shoot down conspiracies about the identities of individual rioters is the fact that there are hundreds of Jan. 6 participants who have been identified by online “sedition hunters” but not arrested.
But most of those men have been arrested and identified, like Trump supporter Edward Kelley, who the feds say was wearing the black sweatshirt of an anti-abortion organization when he jumped through a broken window and kicked open a fire door.
The man, according to the sleuths and evidence reviewed by NBC News, was previously charged for threatening a Democratic official in his home state, his Facebook profile currently features the words “MAGA 4 EVER GOD SAVE OUR REPUBLIC 🇺🇸” and he appears to have even identified himself by name to a photographer who was on the scene as Trump supporters came back to the Capitol on Jan. 7.
Acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donohue later said that open-source intelligence suggested that Jan. 6 “would essentially be a one-sided protest,” which was a “relief” because, in their mind, it lessened the potential for violence.
