The politically-connected son of a Brooklyn Supreme Court Judge was among the band of Trump-supporting marauders who ransacked the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday.

Dressed in fur pelts and a bullet proof vest, Aaron Mostofsky joined an early wave of rioters who swarmed the halls of Congress, forcing lawmakers to evacuate before certifying Joe Biden's election victory. He can be seen in several photos outside the Senate chambers, holding a wooden stick and a police riot shield, alongside a man carrying a Confederate flag.

The man's father is Schlomo Mostofsky, a prominent modern Orthodox figure in Brooklyn and former president of the National Council of Young Israel. He was elected to the Kings County Supreme Court last January with the backing of the Brooklyn Democratic Party.

Neither father nor son returned repeated inquiries from Gothamist. In an interview with the NY Post, Aaron, who declined to give his last name, said that he stormed the building because “the election was stolen," adding that he found the riot shield on the floor.

1. Just watch, white wingers will claim he's proof the invasion was led by Dems.

Local rube-necks are blaming everyone but trump and racists.

13. they can try, but...

His brother, Nachman Mostofsky, is the vice president of the South Brooklyn Conservative Club, and an elected district leader in the borough, who claims to have connections with high-ranking members of the Trump administration.

16. I've no doubt that you are right,

but it's going to be hard to get past this traitor's own words.

2. I'm sure Father is proud.......

Can you imagine what it will be like for ANY procedure taking place in that Judge's courtroom now?

[iemitsu]

3. Bet his dad is proud of him this morning.

[maxrandb]

4. Obviously celebrating the "heritage" of the Brooklyn Confederate Brigade

[RAB910]

5. I am sure he is going to be in prison for a long long time

where a vest marked "police" and carrying one of their shields will make him a special target for prosecutors

[enki23]

11. I think you missed the "son of a judge" part.

.

[RAB910]

14. that county judgeship isn't going to hold much weight with the feds

[dware]

17. He's a county judge,

I highly doubt that the Feds will be impressed.

[enki23]

21. It means he's probably wealthy, and certainly connected to effective lawyers

.

[dware]

22. Which means diddly squat to Federal Prosecutors when it involves treason,

theft of govt. property, destruction of govt property, etc.

The Feds are going to stomp on these traitors hard as a lesson to these traitorous bastards.

[enki23]

23. Do you imagine he will be charged with treason? He will probably never be charged at all.

I'm on your side, and I hope I'm wrong (though there's actually no way for you to be right about the "treason" thing). But I'm a cynic, these days. I still care enough to like being wrong, like with Georgia. But, unfortunately, I'm usually right. Not through prescience, but pessimism.

[dware]

24. Here's a hint.

Guess who was just nominated as the new AG?
Judge Merrick Garland.
Guaranteed that these traitors will be charged with everything the US Prosecutors can think of and no county judge is going to stop them.

[Squinch]

6. Man. That screams of a very bad disconnect from his own identity. That's a twisted brain in there.

[LizBeth]

25. For real. I wonder if he was standing next to the man in an auschwitz sweatshirt.

[iemitsu]

7. I think this young man is carrying the shield

that we saw used to break the windows of the capital building yesterday.

[meadowlander]

8. Surely imitating a police officer is illegal.

Is that bullet proof vest enough to count?

Maybe we should ask Dad...

[Mariana]

9. Add "Impersonating a police officer" to this one's list of charges. nt.

[revmclaren]

10. When cosplay goes murderously bad...

Stupid F_ing idiots.

They are an embarrassment to the human race!

[Cha]

12. Just because the dad is a Democratic

judge doesn't mean the son has any brains or that he can't be brainwashed if he did.

Jon Voight is an example of that in reverse.

I hope these Terrorists are Prosecuted. I can't image his father is happy right now.

[RAB910]

15. His brother is a right-wing nut

His brother, Nachman Mostofsky, is the vice president of the South Brooklyn Conservative Club, and an elected district leader in the borough, who claims to have connections with high-ranking members of the Trump administration.

19. Wow.. more grim to the story.

The pure fact is they are Not reality based.

TY, RAB

[Jirel]

18. So he's happy to keep company with Camp Auschwitz guy?

You’d think that being the son of a prominent Orthodox Jewish figure, even if he doesn’t care, you’d think he’d be aware of the optics.

[peggysue2]

20. Papa must be very proud!

No allowance for you, sonny-boy.

Dress like a barbarian, act like a barbarian. He's shamed his family, his country and himself.
