Former SEAL Shannon Rusch (BUDs class 236) is a motivational speaker, and writes books like "A Warrior's Mind."

Former SEAL Shannon Rusch is first visible marching with now-arrested #ProudBoys leaders towards the #Capitol.
He carries a megaphone that he uses to lead chants.

As the group continues towards the #Capitol we see that #ProudBoys leader Joe Biggs now has the megaphone that Rusch was using.

Rusch is right alongside the #ProudBoys as they surge over barricades on the West side of the #Capitol.
As the police lines are breached he is one of the first past them. Once more, he has the megaphone.

@jsrailton
A tense standoff ensues with #ProudBoys walking along the fallback lines set by the police. Rusch is with them.
The police are again overrun, and a group surges up into the inaugural scaffolding, and up a set of stairs. He joins them.

Rusch confirmed his participation to @arawnsley and @KELLYWEILL, but says he did not go inside #Capitol.
No footage has yet surfaced showing whether he entered.
Here's Rusch tweeting on January 5th👇

UPDATE: Shannon Rusch on Facebook just now:
"Big things are happening behind the scenes.."
I personally find this statement concerning.

They should be stripped of all benefits, awards, qualifications and certification.
This is nothing but anti-American horseshit.
This isn't me, as a retired military member, expressing my views on CONservatives and today's Retrumplican Party.
This is sedition, insurrection and assault on the very Constitution they "claim" to support and defend.
This fucking piece of amphibian shit has lost the privilege of calling himself a "veteran", or a Navy SEAL.
Right fucking now, the admiral in charge of our Special Forces needs to order this dumbasses trident invalid...and do it publicly!
Hey DOD, want to fight extremism in the ranks? Here's your shot.
The time for half-measures is OVER.
