“I just got back from storming the Capitol,” said Dreww, who appeared energized and jittery in the video. “It was successful. For all you bitches on Facebook going crazy talking about it was Antifa, and saying it wasn’t us, it was us. We proudly took back our Capitol. They brought the National Guard out for us. We had the (expletive) cops running from us. Not because they are bitches but because they are smart. We did it. God it’s so exhilarating!”

By Friday, Jan. 8, after the video made the rounds on social media, Dreww — who has his own podcast and is known nationally among the far-right, pro-Trump crowd — was contrite and fearful.

Death threats from right and left
In a phone interview as he made the nearly 2,700-mile drive from Washington to Huntington Beach, Dreww said he has received death threats from both Trump supporters and detractors. He worries about being arrested and believes his successful beauty salon business is doomed.

“I’m scared,” he said, choking back tears. “I fear for my life.”

Samantha Shero, a spokeswoman for the FBI’s Field Office in Washington, D.C., said Friday she couldn’t comment or confirm whether Dreww is under investigation.
