Overnight, it has been confirmed that artists Ariel Pink and John Maus attended these “protests.” The story, which first appeared on Reddit, surfaced with a widely shared photograph taken at a nearby hotel that featured Ariel Pink, John Maus, and director Alex Lee Moyer. Footage of the group walking in Washington D.C. during the insurrection has also been widely circulated.
Additionally, journalist Kat Bee shared video proof that Maus attended the far right gathering, while Pink has subsequently confirmed his own attendance on Twitter.
