Matthew Jay Webler

Matthew Jay Webler, of Decatur, Georgia, entered the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot and later posted a Facebook video in which he described going inside and shouted "1776" as he exited, also claiming online that he had stood up to people trying to vandalize the building; the FBI identified his mobile device as having been near the Capitol that day through a search warrant served on Google. He pleaded guilty to one charge, parading, picketing, or demonstrating in a Capitol building, with other charges, including entering a restricted building and disorderly conduct, dismissed. He was sentenced on 5/3/2022 to 45 days of incarceration, $500 in restitution, and a $10 special assessment.
