This is long past asinine. May the treasonous traitors who are encouraging and enabling this mindless 'erasing' of individuals because this have a different political view, is not good for our Republic.
So being in a place that is the people’s house to exercise your God given right to free speech now gets you punished. Holy shit these assholes know they are the protoNazis now?

Olympic Gold-Medal Swimmer Klete Keller Charged in Connection With Capitol Breach

Klete Keller, an Olympic gold medalist swimmer from the University of Southern California, was charged in a U.S. District Court in Washington, court documents show.
According to court documents (pdf), a photograph appeared to show the red and white Olympic patch on a jacket worn by Keller. Officials identified Keller in the group that entered the Capitol on Jan. 6, using video footage, while journalists spoke to more than a dozen people who identified Keller in a video that circulated on Twitter.
“Second, Colorado state records and publicly available information list Keller’s height at 6 feet, 6 inches tall, and [the individual in the video footage] appears to be one of the tallest individuals in the video depicting individuals in the Rotunda,” said a special agent from the FBI in the court documents.
The agent also wrote that it is “a crime to willfully and knowingly utter loud, threatening, or abusive language, or engage in disorderly or disruptive conduct, at any place in the Grounds or in any of the Capitol Buildings with the intent to impede, disrupt, or disturb the orderly conduct of a session of Congress.”
The U.S. Olympic Committee’s Sarah Hirshland issued a statement on Tuesday, saying she condemns the group that breached the U.S. Capitol building.
Hirshland did not address claims that Keller’s Olympic medals should be taken away. Keller won five medals, including two gold medals.
“At home, and around the world, Team USA athletes are held to a very high standard as they represent our country on the field of play and off. What happened in Washington, D.C., was a case where that standard was clearly not met. The people involved attacked the very fabric of the democracy we all proudly represent and, in turn, also let our community down,” according to Hirshland’s statement.

It’s not clear if Keller has a lawyer.
Keller got medals in the 2000, 2004, and 2008 Olympics. He swam relay with other swimmers Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte, and Peter Vanderkaay during some of the events.
The Colorado real estate company that had employed him for the past three years, Hoff & Leigh, told the New York Times that Keller had resigned.

“Hoff & Leigh supports the right of free speech and lawful protest but we cannot condone actions that violate the rule of law,” the company said.
He may have been let in like so many and they're going to take away all that without any sort of serious conviction? Good on him for working so hard as an athlete. Everyone deserves their day in court if it even comes to that.
I don't even think Nazi Germany moved so quickly in "un-personing" people in this quantity.
When you out-Hitler Hitler....
They didn't have the insane digital tools and comms that we have. That is obvious, but people should understand what it means.
It's the reason none of us is sleeping very well.
We understand where we're headed. We will be fine, the Republic will be restored.
I do believe things will get ugly between now and then.
This is long past asinine. May the treasonous traitors who are encouraging and enabling this mindless 'erasing' of individuals because this have a different political view, is not good for our Republic.
Ya think?
What next?strip him of his high school diploma?
Birthday is later.
They're going to sterilize them all
So being in a place that is the people’s house to exercise your God given right to free speech now gets you punished. Holy shit these assholes know they are the protoNazis now?

Have any of the Antifa 'breechers' been arrested?
Next they'll arrest the flag itself for being in the Capitol.
He should do a Kanye and video himself taking a piss on the medals.
Being charged with something doesn't mean squat. He should literally sue anyone who acts against him based on these charges.
He may have been let in like so many and they're going to take away all that without any sort of serious conviction? Good on him for working so hard as an athlete. Everyone deserves their day in court if it even comes to that.
"Here are my Olympic medals. Come and take them!"
