Politico reports:
The former editor of an Orthodox Jewish newspaper in New York City — identified two years ago as a member of the Jan. 6 mob by POLITICO — was charged Thursday with two felonies for his actions at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Elliot Resnick, who had drawn controversy prior to Jan. 6 for incendiary and bigoted comments — labeling African religions as “primitive” and suggesting white supremacy is fictional — grabbed a Capitol Police officer’s arm while he was attempting to defend the doors leading to the rotunda, according to charging documents.
After those doors were breached, Resnick remained by the entrance and helped pull other rioters into the building at one of the earliest moments of the breach, according to the documents.
Read the full article. Last month Ann Coulter appeared on Resnick’s podcast. Laura Loomer has also appeared on his show. As you can see below, he’s tweeting today after being arrested.

“Putin is like Hitler!” Really? Hitler was a vicious and irrational mass murderer who sought to rule Europe and thought nothing of violating agreements he signed with England, France, Russia, etc. Please explain how Putin is even remotely like Hitler.

70% of Republicans didn’t believe the election was on the level. This distrust led directly to the events of 1/6 two months later. Why didn’t you call for an audit to reassure everyone that the election was on the level?

No, but people who are outraged at their government and have no legitimate way of expressing that outrage will break the law — with or without Ray Epps.
We had a Boston Tea Party 250 years ago without Ray Epps. But we had Samuel Adams, thank God. https://t.co/eONPOhWFfK

This is the moment the mob physically forces the police line all the way up the East Capitol steps, overcoming them. Elliot Resnick is at the front, actively participating and waving the mob behind him forward all the way up, inciting more to follow: #IamElliotResnick 2/ pic.twitter.com/49ZN7Dgm3N

Elliot Resnick continues to violently force through police til he bursts through the Capitol door, one of the first through. The just-arrested Marine Christopher Warnagiris/#YellowZipSkulker can be seen at left impeding officers and holding the door open. 3/ #IamElliotResnick pic.twitter.com/XFgA3P8Yr6
