Accused Rioter Charged With Stealing Pelosi’s Laptop Alleged To Have Nazi Ties, Made Hitler Salute On Video

The Daily Beast reports:

Things aren’t looking great for Riley June Williams. The 22-year-old Capitol rioter from Pennsylvania was already in hot water after her ex-partner alleged to the FBI that she stole a laptop from Nancy Pelosi’s office on Jan. 6, with the ultimate goal of hawking it to a Russian intelligence agency. She denies that claim, saying it’s just an attempt at revenge from a jilted lover. However, her lawyer has not denied a new allegation—that she posted a video online in which she performed a Nazi salute and pledged allegiance to Adolf Hitler.

Bellingcat reports:

She dances to techno music for several seconds, while a voice narrates the video: “Hammer was right all along. There is no political solution. All that is left is acceleration. Heil Hitler.” At this point in the video the bass in the music drops and the woman extends her arm in a Sieg Heil salute. A negative color filter washes over the scene and the woman’s eyes glow. This effect is a clear example of the ‘fashwave’ aesthetic, which gained prominence due to Atomwaffen’s distinctive propaganda. Fashwave is extremely popular among Nazis and other white supremacists on Telegram.

The full Bellingcat report is just insane. Watch the clip. Hammer, not incidentally, is the name of a neo-Nazi channel on Telegram.
