A Pennsylvania man was identified as a U.S. Capitol rioter by his ex-girlfriend after he called her a "moron" in a text message sent from the violent assault.

Richard Michetti sent text messages Jan. 6 describing the crowd surging into the Capitol, according to investigators, and his ex-girlfriend said he'd taken a train to Washington, D.C., the day before because he believed the election had been stolen from former president Donald Trump, reported The Morning Call.

MSNBC hosts on Thursday allowed conservative pollster Frank Luntz to repeat the false claim that there was no "voter suppression" in 2020, while also asserting that there was "voter fraud."

Luntz made the remarks on MSNBC's Morning Joe after co-host Willie Geist presented him with polling data that showed 71% of Democrats believe that voter suppression is a bigger concern than voter fraud.

On Thursday, The Daily Beast profiled Thomas Webster, a retired New York City police officer who guarded Ground Zero after 9/11 — and is now accused of savagely beating a Capitol Police officer and tearing at his mask so aggressively he's known as the "eye gouger."

"In the 2006 civil action, Webster was one of a large number of plaintiffs suing a host of parties connected to the World Trade Center. He sought compensation for effects on his physical and mental health that he claimed to have suffered during 20 days between Dec. 13, 2001, and April 5, 2002, when he was assigned to provide security at the 'WTC site,'" reported Michael Daly. "A fill-in-the-blanks complaint dated Sept. 18, 2006, says Webster was exposed to toxic fumes and substances that caused him a host of woes. Each is accompanied by a notation reading, 'Onset 6/1/2003,' or more than a year after his 20 days of duty. He specifically cites 'asthma, cough, respiratory problems, shortness of breath' as well as 'fear of cancer' and 'sleep problems.'"
