Robert Gieswein

Gieswin was in the crowd that pushed past the police barrier. He allegedly sprayed an unknown substance at police. The government claims he entered the building through a broken window.

Before the event, Gieswin spoke with the media and stated “we need to get the corrupt politicians that have been in office for 50-60 years, that have been destroying our country and selling it to the Middle East and Israel out of office and they need to be in prison.”

Please keep in mind that in the United States, every citizen charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
