A Maryland man who allegedly hit police officers with a bat during the U.S. Capitol riots said on the day of the assault that he was "not here for Trump," CBS Baltimore reports....

...Jackson was seen on video surveillance footage making a fist and repeatedly striking a U.S. Capitol Police officer, while he tried to enter the building. He was one of the first people to enter the building, federal authorities said.

Jackson was interviewed the day of the riot and the video was posted to Twitter.

"I had a bat. They were pepper spraying people. Then, they got me in the eye," he said.

Asked why he was there, Jackson replied, "Fighting for America. We've been taken over by globalists, by the Chinese. Fighting for America. I'm not here for Trump. I'm here for America."

Well, it may be tough work, but somebody’s got to do it.

He just happened to have a bat with him, at a political rally, which he would not have been allowed to enter which caring a bat? Going to the batting cage, and just decided to stop by?

He's anti-CCP, that counts as anti-Asian, which is white supremacist, or something. Whatever, it's all Trump's fault.

Nobody who is ‘here for America’ would swing a baseball bat at an Officer of the law in 99.9999% of the time.
You could easily kill or maim someone for life.

That wording is not found anywhere in the article.

You appear to have shown yourself to be qualified; the fake news media will probably be calling, offering you a job writing for them.
