Ron Hanks

Last updated

Hanks participated in the January 6, 2021, attack on the United States Capitol, saying that "people had already entered the building" by the time he arrived at a designated meeting area. [20] In a fundraising newsletter, Hanks continued to promote conspiracy theories regarding the certification of the 2020 election. He said of the crowd, "It seems more likely that there were people who intended to blend in to the group, then create mayhem and blame it on Trump supporters." He said, "This isn't just an economic system or policy priorities we are arguing about. There is a nuclear and national security aspect to this election that must not fall into the hands of foreign enemies or their domestic agents." [21] Such claims have been debunked by multiple sources. [22] [23]
