Jan. 6 riot suspect revealed as Trump administration employee who praised Hitler: report

[Swede]

The security footage is among videos released during the trial of another Jan. 6 participant, a member of the Proud Boys prosecuted for seditious conspiracy. In it, and in other photos from the day, his face remains partly concealed behind the mask.

But all signs point to Oliver Krvaric, a young Republican star and scion of a powerful GOP family from San Diego. Krvaric is most notable for his job at the time of the riot.
A USA TODAY review of arrests concluded Krvaric would be the first full-time employee of the Trump administration identified entering the Capitol in the insurrection. On Jan. 6, 2021, Krvaric was working for the Office of Personnel Management on a short-lived Trump executive order that sought to rid federal agencies of certain diversity and inclusion training.

By then, the 22-year-old had built a public persona as an up-and-coming student GOP leader. Even earlier than that, his name had been used to create an identity on a site for white supremacists.

6. When Pendejo45 keeps yelling about the FBI, Military, DOJ & DCPD having operatives within the insurrectionist crowd ...

he's projecting, because he very well knew that the FBI, Military, DOJ & DCPD were not involved.

But his henchmen; Proud Boys, 3%ers, Oath Keepers, NSC-131, No White Guilt and others (apparently more than a dozen extremist groups took part in the insurrection), were involved. And Pendejo45 knew, because he wanted the Secret Service to remove the Magnetometer (A.K.A Metal Detectors or MAGS), at the Ellipse Rally
Secret Service worried that if the MAGS were removed, there would be guns at the rally.
Pendejo45 then said, "They are not here to kill me." (Based on Cassidy Hutchinson's public testimony).
Basically implying that they were there to kill someone else. Mike Pence? Nancy Pelosi? ...

An old animated video has surfaced that shows Nazi salutes and symbols and a bobbing Hitler above the image of a young Tony Krvaric, who is now chairman of the San Diego County Republican Party.

The early 1990s video features an image of Hitler — flexing his right arm brandished with a swastika band — floating up and down between photos of three young men. Among them is an image of a youthful Krvaric sporting dark shades.

“It’s pretty serious,” said local civil rights lawyer Jim McElroy, a former member and chairman of the board of The Southern Poverty Law Center, a legal advocacy group specializing in civil rights issues.

“There's a dancing Hitler. There's a swastika on someone's neck. There's a Sieg Heil salute. We're talking about genocide. We're talking about the deaths of millions of people. That's not something to joke about.”
