Got overtaken by the Brent Bozell IV news, but yesterday the feds also unsealed charges against Dean Egtvedt, an “incoherent” Trump fan who yelled “SHOOT ME” at officers and told members to “grow a spine or fucking resign” on Baked Alaska’s livestream during the insurrection. 
"Officer M.D. tried to grab EGTVEDT below the waist but could not, due to EGTVEDT’s size. He then attempted to push EGTVEDT back in the direction of the south exit door and 'held on for dear life’ due to EGTVEDT’s size.” assets.documentcloud.org/documents/2048…
About a month after Dean Egtvedt assaulted cops during the attack on the U.S. Capitol, “Dan Egtvedt” posted Benny content about “disrespect towards the National Guard."
Where was he radicalized?
“You have the president of the United States taking these people to the edge, and the second that something happens he’s going to turn around and go, ‘Well, I didn’t tell them to do that.’” — Nov. 10, 2020. huffpost.com/entry/trump-vo…
Here’s a story I’d read: The impact of Trump fans’ fear of D.C.’s strict gun laws on Jan. 6.
Egtvedt really had pretty decent access to Trump world!

Was big on the Blue Lives Matter stuff too, before he brawled with cops at the Capitol on Trump’s behalf.
