Beckley identified himself in a now-viral interview outside the Capitol while an angry mob of President Donald Trump supporters continued to storm the building.
"Vice President Pence, my name is Damon Michael Beckley, and I do not appreciate one bit this situation you caused here, sir!" he said, in part, during the interview. "We're not putting up with this tyrannical rule. If we're going to come back here and start a revolution and take all of these traitors out, which is what should be done, then we will!"

WDRB News first met Beckley at a Jan. 2 protest outside U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell's Louisville home. There, he identified himself as the founder of a group called DC Under Siege, which business records filed with the Kentucky Secretary of State's office show was registered on Dec. 10, 2020.
Outside McConnell's home, Beckley told the crowd he'd be in Washington on Jan. 6 to protest "corrupt" politicians who had counted the votes to make Joe Biden president.

Quite a damning quote here:
The FBI caught him down in the sticks way south of Louisville near Nolin Lake and Mammoth Cave.
I see he also shaved off his beard for the FBI party......
