A right-wing activist known for his unwavering support for former President Trump and urging Democrats to “walk away” from their party has been arrested for participating in the deadly Capitol insurrection on Jan.
6. Brandon Straka, 43, has been charged with several crimes, including impeding a law enforcement officer during civil disorder and engaging in disorderly conduct with the intent to disturb a hearing before Congress.
The ex-New York City hairstylist and best known for starting the “WalkAway Campaign,” was also banned from American Airlines last year after refusing to wear a mask on a flight amid the coronavirus pandemic.
