7. "Convoy" claims credit

There's a remnant of "The People's Convoy" (now the "1776 restoration movement", led by proud boy "Santa" ) claiming credit. From The Daily Beast:

"[Fanone] was harassed by protesters with the far-right 1776 Restoration Movement (formerly The People’s Convoy) as he came to the Thursday night primetime hearing."

"the individual that hounded Fanone was one of their own. The group formerly called The People’s Convoy remains camped out on the National Mall, despite their top livestreamers jumping ship and many members contracting COVID-19."

Petrizzo at Daily Beast has been following their antics. Their ranks include at least one proud boy, some j6ers, some registered sex offenders. Three of them have been recently arrested on various charges.

They want a permit to squat on the Mall.
