The guy who authorities say was the one wearing a Camp Auschwitz hoodie during the Capitol riots has been arrested . TMZ has confirmed
Robert Keith Packer was busted Wednesday morning in Newport News, VA and he s been charged with knowingly entering restricted grounds and disorderly conduct. He d already drawn outrage for his hoodie, flippantly referencing the Nazi concentration camp where more than 1 million Jews were killed during World War II.
The photographs have been seen by millions: Among the rioters who stormed the Capitol building, one intruder wore a “Camp Auschwitz” hoodie. On the back of the sweatshirt appeared the word: “Staff.” Another intruder dressed himself in a shirt that read “6MWE”: 6 million was not enough.
Hours after an unidentified man wearing a “Camp Auschwitz” sweatshirt entered the U.S. Capitol as part of a violent mob on Wednesday, copycat versions of the garment appeared on e-commerce platforms.
For a brief period after the riot, sweatshirts and t-shirts bearing the offensive slogan were available on Moteefe, a British website that allows individuals and small businesses to sell custom merchandise. Moteefe chief executive Mathijs Eefting said a user uploaded the design after pictures of the original sweatshirt had already spread on social media, although he declined to specify exactly when it appeared.
After a Forward reporter contacted Moteefe on Thursday morning, the company removed the design from its website.
