House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is singling out one Trump supporter after he wore a “Camp Auschwitz” sweatshirt during the raid on the U.S. Capitol.
“To see this punk with that shirt on, and his anti-semitism that he has bragged about, to be part of a white supremacist raid on this Capitol, requires us to have an after-action review to assign responsibility to those who are part of organizing it and incentivizing it,” Pelosi said during her press conference on Friday.
Watch her comments below:
Robert Keith Packer was identified as the man to have worn the sweatshirt and was charged with unlawful entry and disorderly conduct, as IJR previously reported.
He was allowed to be released following a virtual hearing.
There was also a skull and crossbones printed on the shirt along with the words “Work Brings Freedom.”
The phrase was originally placed at the top of the entrance to the Auschwitz camp.
The House impeached Trump for a second time on Wednesday, charging him with “incitement of insurrection” following the raid on the Capitol, as IJR previously reported.
He released a video on Wednesday to denounce the violence.
“As I have said, the incursion of the U.S. Capitol struck at the very heart of our republic,” Trump said.
He added, “I want to be very clear. I unequivocally condemn the violence that we saw last week. Violence and vandalism have absolutely no place in our country and no place in our movement. Making America great again has always been about defending the rule of law, supporting the men and women of law enforcement, and upholding our nation’s most sacred traditions and values.”
Trump explained no supporter of his “could ever endorse political violence.”
He said they could never “disrespect law enforcement or our great American flag” or “threaten or harass their fellow Americans.”
“If you do any of these things, you are not supporting our movement, you are attacking it, and you are attacking our country. We cannot tolerate it,” Trump continued.
