a very interesting theory in this twitter thread
But the fact of Uncle John support the John Birch Society is making sense.
Lightning strikes Washington Monument; two National Guardsmen hospitalized in separate strike
"Two National Guardsmen deployed to Washington D.C. due to protests were injured in a lightning strike during severe storms Thursday night into early Friday, hours after an initial bolt struck the Washington Monument."
"We received a call around midnight informing us that two military personnel had been injured in a lightning strike, D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department Public Information Officer Vito Maggiolo told USA TODAY. We responded and the two individuals were transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. "
"Maggiolo said the guardsmen were injured in Lafayette Park, with close proximity to the White House, in a separate incident from the lightning bolt that struck the Washington Monument. " ((my note: it struck the monument twice))
"Both soldiers were from the South Carolina Army National Guard, a spokeswoman for the states Guard told the Greenville News, part of the USA TODAY Network. Their names and hometowns were not released. "
It was clearly an indirect strike, presumably to a tree that was nearby.
