"Bozell pushed past police lines and entered the Capitol, after smashing two windows with a metal object. He was also convicted of two counts of destruction of govt property," Cheney wrote in an X (formerly Twitter) post Friday.

"He later surged to the Senate floor and, while there, forced a C-Span camera to face the floor so it wouldn’t capture rioters’ movements. In run up to Jan. 6 he texted associates about desire to 'take the Capitol and hang those pedo-satanistic traitors,'" Cheney wrote.
