A Brooklyn Supreme Court judge’s son was one of the hundreds of people who stormed the Capitol building on Wednesday, according to reports.
Photos and videos taken inside the Capitol building on Wednesday afternoon show a fur pelt and bulletproof vest-clad Aaron Mostofsky carrying a riot shield and a wooden stick.
Aaron Mostofsky, who told The Post on Wednesday he’d come to protest a “stolen election,” was holding a police riot shield as a mob of rioters swarmed the building Wednesday.
Video below:
Mostofsky is the son of Shlomo Mostofsky, a “prominent modern Orthodox figure in Brooklyn and former president of the National Council of Young Israel,” the outlet reported.
Aaron Mostofsky was not arrested for breaching the Capitol building’s barriers, however, yesterday the FBI arrested him and entered his home. He was arrested in Midwood Brooklyn on Tuesday morning for his alleged involvement in the Capitol riot.
Video below:
He faces four federal charges, including theft of government property.
Mostofsky faces three other charges, including illegal entry into a restricted area and disorderly conduct. He spoke at a court appearance in Brooklyn conducted by phone on Tuesday afternoon, although the case is being handled by federal prosecutors in Washington.
Prosecutors said they were “deeply troubled” by the allegations against Mr. Mostofsky but consented to his release from custody on a $100,000 bond. He is prohibited from participating in any political rallies or traveling to any state capitals, which have been on high alert for spillover violence ahead of the Jan. 20 inauguration.
Judge Mostofsy, the former president of the National Council of Young Israel, was elected to the bench last January with the backing of the Brooklyn Democratic Party.
And been if most of the mainstream media reported that Judge Mostofsy and his son were conservatives it seems they are Democrats.
Mr. Mostofsky, 34, is the son of Kings County Supreme Court Judge Steven Mostofsky, who also goes by Shlomo. He and his father are registered Democrats, according to New York State election records the New York Times reported without mentioning this in their headline.
Was his speech a huge lie?
And why did a registered Democrat would riot in the Capitol in the name of President Trump?

The most powerful suggestions are the ones that seem the most reasonable. I think they were there to make suggestions.
So far ABC and CBS haven’t mentioned that Aaron Mostofsky, a registered Democrat, was one of those who entered the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The news media still calls those who broke into the Capitol “Trump supporters.” I highly doubt Aaron voted for Trump.
In New York State the “Supreme Court” is an ordinary trial court. The highest court in New York is the Court of Appeals. In fact, there are 62 “Supreme Courts” in New York State, one for each county. There are 328 Supreme Court judges in New York, elected to terms of 14 years. A single “Supreme Court” judge presides at a trial. There are seven judges on the Court of Appeals. A “Supreme Court” judge is just a trial court judge in any other state.
“He and his father are registered Democrats, according to New York State election records. And yet he claims to be a Trump supporter!”
Does not mean anything. If you are in politics in NYC you have to run as a democrat. The town I grew up in is 85% democrat. You cannot get elected dog catcher if you run as a Republican.
Many highly intelligent and moral democrats voted for Trump.
I had a friend in Arizona who found legal work as an attorney in New York. She said she would change her political registration to Democrat so that she would not be shunned in New York. If she was known as a Republican she would not be able to advance or even keep her job.
So being a registered Democrat in New York is not a guarantee of not being a Trump supporter.
That is all you had to say.
I know a Conservative Democrat (his grandparents, his parents, his family went for Trump and voted downticket for Republican...He is gun rights, pro life, free speech, but he brought up as Republican bad, Dem good...His dad would disown him if he change to the Republican he say...
