A video has emerged that allegedly shows Riley Williams—the woman accused of stealing Nancy Pelosi's laptop during the Capitol riots—giving a Nazi salute.

The short clip, obtained by Bellingcat, shows a woman alleged to be Williams, with her face covered by a skull mask of the type often worn by neo-Nazi groups such as Atomwaffen. The woman is wearing a hat featuring the Sonnenrad, or Black Sun, far-right symbol.

In the video, the woman dances to music while a voice plays over the top stating: "Hammer was right all along. There is no political solution. All that is left is acceleration. Heil Hitler."

The woman then gives a Nazi salute while a negative color filter is added to the clip and her eyes glow—a visual effect often used in far-right imagery and known as "fashwave."

The "Hammer" mentioned is believed to be a neo-Nazi channel on the encrypted messaging service Telegram.

Although the woman in the video does not show her face or speak, a joint investigation by Bellingcat and NBC News has gathered enough evidence for them to identify her as Williams, the 22-year-old who faces decades in jail if convicted for her alleged role in the January 6 attack.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the concept of acceleration as it is used by white supremacists "sees modern society as irredeemable and believes it should be pushed to collapse so a fascist society built on ethnonationalism can take its place."

Yet another glaring example of the outsized representation white nationalists/supremacists and neo-Nazis had in the January 6 attack on the Capitol and has within Trump's so called base. Which the GOP appears to think they need to cater to in order to have any chance in future national elections. Hillary caught a lot of flack for referring to this portion of Trump supporters as "deplorables". But hell, it's looking more and more like she had a point. Sometimes when you're right, you're right.

It looks like Hillary's claims of being victimized by "a vast right-wing conspiracy" have borne out.

But the mood of the Capitol Insurrection was "festive" according to Republicans.
Can we admit that Trump Republicans REALLY ARE NAZIS NOW?
 
There are "good people on both sides". This is an example of what a good person is on one side.

I think the correct word is attacked.

Hillary Clinton is too mature a person and too experienced in politics to feel herself to be a victim.

She was definitely the focus of a “vast right wing conspiracy”. We know the participants and the specifics now.

But I don’t think she was playing victim as much as discussing the political reality.

Conservatives built a very well oiled attack machine and aimed it right at the Clintons. Quite a few people in right wing media and at various right wing blog and organizations (Accuracy in Media, Judicial Watch, NewsMax, and people like Jerome Corsi, Ken Starr, and the late Richard Mellon Scaife) owed their existence or their careers to it.

Why do so many of these far right extremist identify with the Nazi regime. The Nazi party considered the US to be a nation of mixed race, and that's just those of white European ancestry.

Sooo saying that, why do they latch on to an ideology which desparages their own lineage. Odd ducks on the Right🙄
