Ariel Pink confirmed late last week that he attended the riots at the US Capitol. While he denied being part of the mob who stormed the building, Pink said he was there to, “peacefully show my support for the president.”
After images on social media showed Pink’s attendance at the rally he admitted, “I was in dc to peacefully show my support for the president. I attended the rally on the white house lawn and went back to hotel and took a nap. Case closed.”
