West Virginia State Lawmaker Among Those Who Stormed U.S. Capitol

A newly elected lawmaker from West Virginia was among the mob of Trump supporters who stormed the United States Capitol on Wednesday, filming as he stood among the crowd outside a door, rushed with them inside and then wandered through the halls along with the scores of others who had breached the building.

The lawmaker, Derrick Evans, posted the video to his Facebook page, where he goes by “Derrick Evans - The Activist” on Wednesday afternoon, but he later deleted it.

Mr. Evans, who was elected as a Republican state delegate in November, posted several videos from the events of the day, both narrating and joining in “Stop the Steal” chants with throngs of other Trump supporters. ...

To be clear, Evans is not a member of Congress.
