...A video is circulating on social media of an incident that happened earlier in the month after a board of supervisors candidate forum.

This asshole was at DC in Jan 6th and he's proud of it. He even spoke to a couple groups about it. Although he's been scrubbing his Facebook page about it, everyone has seen the posts - which is where used on the flyer that this guy was handing out in the hallway outside of the candidate forum.
