Capitol Police arrested a 35-year-old man from Virginia on Wednesday (January 8) after he allegedly attempted to set his car on fire near the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial on Capitol Hill. The incident occurred as President-elect Donald Trump was visiting Republican lawmakers and paying respects to the late former President Jimmy Carter.

The man, identified as Adrian J. Hinton, reportedly parked his vehicle in front of the memorial and set a bag on top of it ablaze. The bag extinguished itself before officers arrived and detained the suspect. Capitol Police's Hazardous Incident Response Division inspected the vehicle and found no immediate danger, though accelerants were discovered inside the bag.

Hinton's motive remains unclear, but authorities confirmed there is no ongoing threat. A grounds crew worker first noticed the man trying to ignite something in his car, and the suspect allegedly claimed to have napalm.

If Hinton’s motive remains unclear, then why are they dragging Trump into this?

why are they dragging Trump into this?

Because they're desperately and pitifully hoping to somehow make a link between an idiot trying to set a car on fire and President Donald J. Trump.

FWIW- is anyone else here when typing the word "President" in and when the "spacebar" is used the word "Biden" bidet comes up in the text suggestions even though I have been typing "Donald J. Trump for weeks and I don't used bidets name. I find it very IRRITATING !!!

Exactly. His “motive” appears to be that the scumbag was out to get President Trump according to the “media”. String ‘em up!
