Let’s all say hello to LA-area violent fascist and Capitol stormer Edward Badalian, 26, seen here in the West side of the building, overturning furniture and holding the door for looters. He’s recognizable by his distinctive American flag gaiter and Armenian-language Trump hat
Ed participated in some good, old-fashioned MAGA-on-MAGA violence before entering the Capitol
He made things easier on us when he took his mask off to chat with his Beverly Hills pal Gina Bisignano, who helped incite a violent attack on police outside the Capitol before encouraging people to follow her into the building https://twitter.com/waterspider__/status/1349422388396494850?s=20
Back in October, Ed caused a stir when he assaulted multiple people in Beverly Hills with a large weaponized flagpole, known as a “leaded cane” under California law. Cops let him go, of course. Shoutout @TinaDesireeBerg for the video
On Facebook, our boy changed his name to “Trump Ed” in an effort to hide his identity. But the url still contains his real last name, which we matched to a high-school roster photo to confirm his ID. Oops! Bad luck, Ed.
