REPORT: LibsOfTikTok Creator May Have Attended Riot

Vice News reports:

Chaya Raichik, the woman behind the far-right LibsofTikTok account, may have trespassed at the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot, according to newly discovered footage found hours after Raichik appeared in her first on-camera television interview.

Raichik appeared in an interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday where she called the LGBTQ community a “cult” and baselessly accused LGBTQ people of being “evil groomers.”

Her appearance on Carlson’s show got the attention of Chad Loder, an extremism researcher credited with using videos from the Capitol riot to identify a masked Proud Boy who attacked police officers. Loder now believes that footage from the Capitol riot features Raichik.
