One of the most recognizable figures from Jan. 6 came out of obscurity on Sept. 27 for a broadcast interview to tell the world that he is not—and was not—a federal agent who cut down plastic fencing and pulled up steel fence posts at the U.S. Capitol.

“I guess I got a hashtag on Twitter called #FenceCutterBulwark,” the man said at the outset of the Patriot Punk Network videocast on Rumble.
