1:38Now PlayingA Brooklyn man who stormed the US Capital with a wild mob — forcing the building into lockdown Wednesday — told The Post he did it because “the election was stolen.”
Wearing a bizarre fur costume and holding a police riot shield he says he “found,” the demonstrator cited theories about voter fraud as a reason for disrupting the certification of the 2020 presidential election.
“We were cheated. I don’t think 75 million people voted for Trump — I think it was close to 85 million,” the protester, who gave the name Aaron, told The Post while standing inside the Capitol building. “I think certain states that have been red for a long time turned blue and were stolen, like New York.”
He added, “[I did it] to express my opinion as a free American that this election was stolen.”
