A West Virginia legislator who recorded, then deleted a video of himself storming the Capitol with rioters is under mounting pressure to resign. Nearly 32,000 people signed a petition demanding that Repub Del. Derrick Evans step down.

WV GOP Delegate livestreamed the Capitol breach on camera: “We’re in. We’re in. Derrick Evans is in the Capitol”.

Taken into federal custody earlier today, he is now "claiming" that he was working as an amateur journalist.
Derrick is having a bad day.

Derrick Evans, facing federal charges for entering the U.S. Capitol with a mob, has resigned from West Virginia’s House of Delegates. "“I take full responsibility for my actions, and deeply regret any hurt, pain or embarrassment I may have caused my family, friends, constituents and fellow West Virginians,” Evans stated. https://wvmetronews.com/.../derrick-evans-resigns-w.../...
