The 30-year-old Virginia man accused of planting pipe bombs near Capitol Hill on the eve of the January 6, 2021 riots is an autistic recluse and ‘computer nerd’ who has no party affiliation, his grandmother told the Daily Mail on Friday.
Brian Cole confessed and told his FBI interrogators that he is a Trump supporter and holds anarchist views, MSNOW reported citing unnamed sources.
But Loretta, his grandmother, said Cole has no party affiliation and never votes.
Rather, he keeps to himself, living in his mother’s basement in Woodbridge, Virginia, where he’s been grieving the loss of his beloved pet chihuahua, while working a data entry job for his family’s bail bonds business.
‘He’s not politically affiliated with anything,’ the grandmother told the Daily Mail during an interview at her home in Gainesville, Virginia. 'He has no social media contacts. He’s never online going back and forth with politics or anything like that. He says he don’t like either party.
'He’s borderline autistic,’ she added. 'He’s slow. He may be 30, but he’s got the mind of a 16-year-old. That’s why we’re thinking - What the hell? What’s going on?’
- snip -
She said she doesn’t believe the charges.
'This young man is very calm and quiet,' she said. 'He just stays to himself. Nobody bothers him because he doesn’t bother anybody.
'He doesn’t have a girlfriend,’ she added. 'That’s how slow he is. He’s just off in a little world on his own. He stays downstairs and he used to be with his dog all the time.'

Wasn’t the prime suspect just a week ago, a female with legit connections to local LE? what happened to her? Don’t know if there’s enough there for a lawsuit, but...
Patsey.. Let’s see him walk on a video.
How long have the FIBs had this guy queued up.
Between her and MSNOW, I believe Grandma.
...how did this autistic nerd transport bombs via his car from moms house to DC???......
wait, he has no girlfriend? Color me shocked. He sounds like a catch.
That was a theory put out by a Blaze reportet that the FBI disavowed.
Yes, found out she was made aware of it and happened to have a video of herself playing with her puppy at that exact time of bomb placement.
Kerkhoff is officially “exonerated” having just looked it up, I see she presented a video of her playing with her puppy at the exact bomb placement time.
“What does “borderline autistic” mean? Does it just mean nerdy?”

For what it is worth, I know two very successful business people who are on the mild, “borderline” side of the autism spectrum.
If they admit it was her, their entire J6 narrative collapses and all fingers point to a DC police/FBI false flag for the entire “insurrection.”
Thank you. I’m familiar with the term and its technical meaning but I guess what I’m wondering is what the grandmother means by it. Claiming he’s on the autism spectrum may just be her way of making excuses for him that aren’t really valid.
Ed Morrisey probably has it right that he’s a nerdy basement dweller who’s been immersed in leftist/Democrat talking points his whole life thanks to his family and holds a grudge. The Trump lawsuits against the family business inspired his early forays into bomb making, and then the 2020 election pushed him into building them for real and actually placing them.
My sense is he’s not a real bright guy but he’s smart enough and aware enough to hold a grudge and take action. The question is whether and to what degree he was coached.
Here is how you spell his name P A T S Y.
