Facebook Friends Turn In “It Was Antifa” Riot Suspect

The Orlando Sentinel reports:

A Chuluota man who bragged on social media about being inside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot was arrested Monday, adding to the growing list of Central Florida residents involved in the deadly ordeal, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida.

John Maron Nassif, 55, also was captured on surveillance footage inside the Capitol rotunda, an arrest affidavit said. “You know I was there, right?” Nassif wrote on Jan. 8, the affidavit said. “You don’t find it odd that police officer is welcoming everybody in? Considering the narrative that’s being pushed?”

A review of Nassif’s Facebook page also shows memes and news stories that say the riot was organized by left-wing groups such as Antifa.
