The rioter photographed at the US Capitol wearing a green sweatshirt with the phrase “Camp Auschwitz” on the front was arrested earlier today in Virginia.
According to the NY Post, online records show that Robert Keith Packer, age 56, was booked by the US Marshals Service in Norfolk, Virginia, shortly before 9 a.m. this morning.
Packer has been charged with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building without lawful authority and for violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
The 56-year-old was apart of the violent mob of Trump supporters who stormed the US Capitol last week in a frenzied attempt to prevent the certification of Joe Biden’s presidential election win.
Packer was photographed in the mob wearing a now-infamous sweatshirt with the words “Camp Auschwitz” across the front. The phrase references the horrific Nazi death camp in occupied Poland.
The shirt also included a picture of a skull and crossbones, along with the phrase “Works Brings Freedom,” which is a rough translation of the German phrase “Arbeit Macht Frei,” which is written above the actual gates of Auschwitz.
