Brandon Straka, 43, has been charged with several crimes, including impeding a law enforcement officer during civil disorder and engaging in disorderly conduct with the intent to disturb a hearing before Congress, for his role in the Jan. 6 siege.
The ex-New York City hairstylist and self-described “former liberal” is best known for starting the “WalkAway Campaign,” which urged liberal voters to leave the Democratic Party. Earlier this month, Straka announced Facebook had removed the campaign’s page, which had over half a million followers.
Straka apparently made it very easy to gather evidence about his participation in the Capitol attack. Like many of his wacky, violent pals he tweeted videos and statements throughout the incident documenting his involvement. He also made headlines last June when he refused to wear a face mask on an American Airlines flight. He was eventually removed from the plane and banned from any future flights on American. I recently reported on another gay Trump supporter, Kristopher Dreww, who also fears being arrested for taking part in the attack on the Capitol.
Feds quote quite a bit from Straka’s tweets — “Also- be embarrassed & hide if you need to- but I was there. It was not Antifa at the Capitol” — and say there’s video of him urging crowd to take a Capitol police officer’s shield pic.twitter.com/dSVoya13OT

Maybe next time Brandon Straka is presented with the opportunity to crime, he should take his own advice and #WalkAway.

Seems like maybe he didn’t walk away from the the vandalism and violence after all. Wanna bet he also plays victim?
