Brandon Straka, Man Who Criticized the Looks of Press Sec. Jen Psaki, Arrested for Insurrection on Capitol

Brandon Straka is an extremely odd duck and one that looks to be increasingly dangerous. He is a gay man who went from the left to the Trump movement, encouraging others to do so. Moreover, he started the “Walk Away” movement encouraging LG (Maybe TBQ) Americans to do the same. He said it was far more difficult coming out with his political beliefs than his sexual orientation.

We certainly damned well hope it was. We are perfectly happy to have a society where no one has to “come out” regarding their sexualty to begin with, just be themselves and never face a stigma. On the other hand, we would like to make it desperately dangerous to support the hardcore MAGA movement, so hardcore that they stormed the Capitol.

To give you an idea about the “strange guy,” it was only two days ago that Straka posted the bizarre photo of Kayleigh McEnany with perfectly professional paint on her face (Straka, the gay man, considers the painting on Kayleigh’s face to be “beautiful”) up against a photo of the beautiful Jen Psaki, as if the two women’s attractiveness should matter. The photos were then used by Jenn Ellis in some ridiculous re-tweet saying conservative women value their femininity and do not try to look like a man. You will, of course, note that Jen Psaki looks quite feminine and we don’t care one way or another.

Anyway, it is in that context that we now report that Straka was arrested today for storming the Capitol as part of an insurrection. He like many others seems woefully undercharged, at least to this point. (We remind our readers that prosecutors can amend their complaint to add crimes. We will see if they choose to do so with the insurrectionists.)

From Rawstory:

Brandon Straka was charged with three counts by federal prosecutors: impeding law enforcement during a civil disorder, entering restricted grounds, and disorderly conduct with intent to disturb a hearing before Congress. He has been arrested.

Two days after the insurrection, Straka wanted the Right to have no doubt that the insurrection was not committed by Antifa.

And there is this interesting fact regarding Straka’s arrest:

The FBI said that “Witness-1” was a relative of Straka to pointed investigators to a video Straka had posted to Twitter. After the video was deleted from Twitter, the relative let the agent know there was a copy of the video posted to YouTube.

As of yet, we have not learned which relative turned Straka in but will update when we learn.

It is further proof that the insurrection was led by many prominent leaders of various MAGA movement elements, which makes one question whether the insurrection was “organized” by someone. It is almost like someone called the “names” to organize the insurrection, hoping that the leader would bring followers. We will soon see.
