NEW FOOTAGE: man follows @DCPoliceDept
officers through the #Capitol mob shouting "are you an American?!"
Shoves officer down, punches him in the head.

Update: Scott Kevin FAIRLAMB was arrested for this assault.
Might not surprise you to learn that he opened his New Jersey Gym in public defiance of COVID closure orders.
h/t @BryanMyrick for flagging complaint: https://justice.gov/opa/page/file/1359221/download

The tragic and disturbing part? Then first-lady Michelle Obama went to assailant Scott Fairlamb's father's memorial service in 2012 because his brother had, at one point, led her Secret Service detail. 👇👇

Replying to @jsrailton
I read the @CNN story about four times in growing disbelief. @MichelleObama had written about his brother in her book Becoming.

Can I call you that? my typing skills are slow. But this is an awesome post. You'd think kindness would have overwhelmed him with other people's compassion, but not the case. Won't even speculate how a dude like this gets to where he is.....
