WASHINGTON - Protesters claiming to be supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, clashing with police and forcing a delay in the constitutional process to affirm President-elect Joe Biden's win. Trump supporters at the event believed people clad with Trump gear had infiltrated the event to cause trouble and make the whole group look bad.
Facial recognition firm XRVision provided some identification of three men who broke into the Capitol as
stated in a blog from Yaacov Apelbaum, the CTO of XRVision, according to his LINKEDIN page. He said, "Shortly after the rioting started, XRVision performed an analysis on the video footage and identified several individuals. This information was shared with Federal LEA. We concluded that two of the individuals were affiliated with the Maryland Skinheads and the National Socialist Movements. These two are known Nazi organizations; they are not Antifa."
"A lot of people have been asking me about the identity of the individuals from the Capital Building Riots. Here is a deeper dive into one of the ring leaders."
Photos from XRVision of Tankersley, one of the ring leaders at the Capitol storming, who Trump supporters believe infiltrated their group. The man in the middle of the picture on the center/left is also believed to have been in the Capitol on Jan 6th.
Tankersley also clearly has a hammer and sickle tattoo indicating he is a communist or Stalinist sympathizer in photos of the event.
The FBI released a statement asking people for help identifying protestors. "The FBI is seeking information that will assist in identifying individuals who are actively instigating violence in Washington, DC. The FBI is accepting tips and digital media depicting rioting and violence in the U.S. Capitol Building and surrounding area in Washington, DC, on January 6, 2021.
