Capitol rioter bragged he 'took the White House'
“So we officially took the White House," Beals said in a TikTok video after he left the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, the FBI affidavit said.
WASHINGTON — The FBI arrested a Georgia man who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and then posted a video on social media bragging that rioters "took the White House," the Justice Department said Wednesday.
William Frederick Beals II, 52, of Ringgold, Georgia, is charged with a felony count of knowingly making false statements (besides mistaking the Capitol for the White House), along with several misdemeanor offenses.
Numerous other Jan. 6 rioters who stormed the Capitol, home to the legislative branch, also believed they had stormed the White House, the seat of the executive branch. “Storm the White House!” said Doug Jensen, a QAnon believer sentenced to five years in prison. “That’s what we do!” Another man, a Florida doctor named Kenneth Kelly, said as he pleaded guilty that it was “embarrassing” that he confused the Capitol for the White House. Far-right extremist Riley Williams also stated, falsely, that she was “STORMING THE WHITE HOUSE.”
