Fracker is the first active service member known to be charged in connection to the Capitol riot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both men were photographed inside the Capitol building. In a photo included in the complaint, Fracker appears to be giving his middle finger to the camera in front of a statue of John Stark, an American Revolution veteran who led troops at the Battle of Bennington in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCNN and the Left are just mad because we actually attacked the government who is the problem and not some random small business,\u201d Robertson said on social media, according to the complaint. \u201cThe right IN ONE DAY took the f***** U.S. Capitol. Keep poking us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a now-deleted Facebook post, Fracker expressed little concern about the photo of him in the Capitol: \u201cLol to anyone who\u2019s possibly concerned about the picture of me going around &#8230; Sorry I hate freedom? \u2026 Not like I did anything illegal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/news\/your-army\/2021\/01\/13\/capitol-riot-was-attack-on-our-constitutional-democracy-army-leadership-says\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP21013516623514.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Capitol riot was attack on \u2018our constitutional democracy,\u2019 Army leadership says<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Army\u2019s ranking civilian leader, officer and enlisted soldier signed a statement Wednesday condemning the breach of the U.S. Capitol last week and warning soldiers that the military has no role in determining the outcomes of elections.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also on Wednesday, the Air Force confirmed that a North Carolina man arrested on an unlawful entry charge in relation to the Capitol riots was previously an airman.
