Dana Rohrabacher, former O.C. congressman, says he was part of Jan. 6 Capitol march

Former Orange County Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, who lost his congressional seat after 30 years in 2018, has acknowledged that he participated in the march to the Capitol on Jan. 6 but insists he did not storm the building along with other Trump supporters.

Rohrabacher, who now resides in Maine, confirmed to the Portland Press Herald on Monday that he took part in the march after images appeared on social media over the weekend that showed him standing among the crowd.

“I marched to protest, and I thought the election was fraudulent and it should be investigated, and I wanted to express that and be supportive of that demand,” Rohrabacher, 73, said in an interview with the newspaper. “But I was not there to make a scene and do things that were unacceptable for anyone to do.”
