Jason Riddle said he now understands he likely broke the law by going into the Capitol but hasn’t yet heard from any law enforcement agency

1/9/21 – A New Hampshire man who attended a Trump rally in Washington, D.C., Wednesday, then swept with a mob into the Capitol building, described drinking wine amid the melee and said he has no regrets.

Jason Riddle, of Keene, New Hampshire, says he is a military veteran and a proud supporter of President Donald Trump. Their shared belief that the election results were wrong is why he decided to make the trip to D.C. and protest.

“He’s winning the election when I go to sleep and then I wake up and, somehow, he’s magically losing now?” Riddle told NBC10 Boston in a Zoom interview Friday.

Riddle said he never expected things to turn violent at the Capitol.

“They just broke into the building. I was in shock, I couldn’t believe it was happening,” Riddle said.

He took videos outside the Capitol Building and then, he said, followed the mob inside.

“They were smashing computers and printers and breaking things and throwing papers and lamps around,” Riddle said.

When asked why he decided to go inside, he responded, “I had to see it.”

And when asked if he had any regrets, he said, “no.” More at NBC Boston
