Newly released video from the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack shows a Texas man ranting about a stolen presidential election and calling for elected officials to be publicly killed.
Cut their head off! he yells at one point.
Its release by the Justice Department came just hours after top Republican Party officials issued a resolution on Friday stating that the people who mobbed the Capitol had engaged in legitimate political discourse.
The man in the video, Ryan Nichols, was arrested in the days after the attack and pleaded guilty to all of the charges against him, which include assault with a crowbar and pepper spray. His case is still pending in federal court.

Here's his local station reporting on it yesterday with lots of hilarious information, like his lawyer saying, look, he didn't bring a taser or sharp object with him and Oh! By the way, the crowbar he was carrying was just decorative and certainly wasn't meant to be a weapon:
