NEW YORK – One of the defining images of the Capitol siege was of a man dangling from the balcony of the Senate chamber.
Clad in black and with a helmet over his head, he might have been hard to identify even after he paused to sit in a leather chair at the top of the Senate dais and hold up a fist.But Josiah Colt made it easy.
He posted a video to his Facebook page moments later, bragging about being the first to reach the chamber floor and sit in Nancy’s Pelosi’s chair (he was wrong).
He used a slur to describe Pelosi and called her “a traitor.”A little later, the 34-year-old from Boise, Idaho, posted again.
