Brad Reed September 15, 2022 (DOJ Photo) A rioter who stormed the United States Capitol on January 6th, 2021 while wearing a “Camp Auschwitz” shirt now says that he is not a Nazi — and is offended that anyone would think otherwise. NBC News’ Ryan Reilly reports that Stephen Brennwald, the attorney representing Capitol rioter Robert Packer, told the court on Thursday that it be a mistake to assume that his client adheres to white supremacist beliefs, even though he wore white supremacist paraphernalia and even though FBI agents found swastika-themed artwork and pictures of Hitler and assorted Nazis when the searched his home after the riots. “He was very mad when people were calling him a white supremacist,” said the attorney, who also added that Packer wanted “to sue Nancy Pelosi when she made some statement on the House floor about him being a white supremacist.” Brennwald then told the court that his “Camp Auschwitz” shirt should have no bearing on his sentencing, even though he acknowledged that the shirt was “offensive.”
