An alleged antifa operative who claimed to be a participant in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol incursion and was featured in the documentary “Capitol Punishment 2: The War on Truth” has since gone back on his confession and removed the video in question.
Despite FBI Director Christopher Wray’s testimony to Congress stating that there was no evidence of anarchist or antifa involvement in the Capitol events, the documentary shows several individuals identified as antifa supporters who were present on Jan. 6.
Jon Berry, one of the individuals identified in the documentary, had initially posted a video on his YouTube channel claiming he was paid to participate in the protest and had a difficult time carrying out his “act.” He even showed off a bruise on his leg as proof. However, Berry later claimed it was all a joke and that he was the owner of an “anti-farting organization.” The videos have since been taken down and marked as private.
In light of the events of Jan. 6, it is important to question the presence of antifa members at the Capitol that day. The documentary “Capitol Punishment 2” sheds light on several individuals who were identified as antifa supporters and caught on camera participating in the events. One such individual is John Sullivan, who was also seen in a video the day before the incursion claiming he wore “antifa outfits” to every protest and riot. Sullivan could also be heard off-camera during the Capitol events, encouraging and inciting violence.
Another antifa supporter identified in the documentary is Landon Kenneth Copeland, who was seen being waved past a security checkpoint by a Capitol Police officer. Later, he could be seen pushing and engaging in a physical altercation with officers at a police line outside the Capitol. He was ultimately sentenced to 36 months in prison for assaulting police officers.
Conservative activist and actor Siaka Massaquoi also identified Chad Loder as an antifa supporter present at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Massaquoi recognized Loder from various rallies in Southern California and pointed him out in a video he had shot inside the Capitol. Searcy included Loder’s image in the documentary, labeling him as antifa.
For three years the federal government has waged a war on truth. Now the truth fights back.
Who really died on J6 and why is the Federal Government lying about it to this day?
Who orchestrated and benefited by breaching the Capitol Building?

However, Loder denied being present at the Capitol and dismissed Massaquoi’s claims as a common “argument from the right.” He also downplayed the idea of antifa being involved in the events of Jan. 6, calling it a ploy by conservatives to blame and vilify the left. Searcy, on the other hand, remains skeptical of Loder’s denial and believes it is just another attempt to deflect blame.
“Capitol Punishment 2: The War on Truth” brings to light several individuals identified as antifa supporters who were present at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Despite their denials and attempts to discredit the accusations, their actions and presence on that day raise important questions.
