A former member of the U.S. Air Force and combat veteran, Lieutenant Colonel Larry Rendall Brock Jr., told the New Yorker he was among the rioters who stormed the Capitol building earlier this week.
Brock was the man photographed near House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office and in the Senate chamber wearing tactical gear and holding zip tie restraints. Brock claimed he merely picked the zip ties up off the floor.
Said Brock: “I know it looks menacing. That was not my intent.”
