NEW: Colorado tech CEO bragged about the storming of the US Capitol after posting about anticipated violence in DC. Chad Burmeister of Littleton promoted Three Percenter militia and QAnon claims, writing, “We will vote with our voices and ultimately guns.” #9News #copolitics 
Burmeister, CEO of ScaleX, went to DC anticipating violence, sharing a QAnon-linked post on Facebook earlier this week, writing, “things could get ugly this week.” His posts repeatedly mention “The Storm,” QAnon shorthand for the day President Trump will execute his opponents.
Burmeister’s Wednesday Facebook post captioned “First guy to storm the capital today.” was edited Thursday morning to read, “Peaceful march to the capital.” Burmesister told me he never breached the Capitol building himself and said I could not use his photo.
Burmeister referred to the January 6 gathering of Trump supporters in DC as “the chase scene” and said “Rebellion is brewing.”
"Thank you for highlighting my peaceful march to the Capitol yesterday. It was an honor to live my First Amendment," Burmeister said in a written statement emailed to 9NEWS.
"Just to clarify, “storm” for me was to march to the Capitol and be on the grounds," Burmeister wrote in an emailed statement. "As I mentioned in my posts, I was there for a peaceful march, always respecting the laws of our land."
Burmeister has yet to respond to questions about his role in the events at the Capitol, the man seen in his photo, and his associations with QAnon and the Three Percenters.
Burmeister's social media post, celebrating the supposed first man into the Capitol, along with other photos and videos posted Wednesday by Trump supporters at the Capitol, belie claims by elected Republicans, including State Rep @MarkBaisley, that Antifa likely led the effort.
