FORT WORTH -- Six months after federal agents say he attacked police in the U.S. Capitol breach, Lucas Denney of Mansfield was on stage at a political rally in Fort Worth.

Records released by Fort Worth city officials show that “Luke” Denney, 44, a wildlife pest exterminator now held without bond in the Jan. 6, 2021, incident, later hosted the “Patriots for America” militia rally June 5 in Trinity Park.

Having stormed the Capitol, Denney was still storming for Texans to overturn the 2020 election and remove President Joe Biden.

If you still think what happened in Washington was just a protest, take a look at the 42-page criminal complaint filed Dec. 7 in U.S. District Court.

Federal agents say Denney posted Facebook memes calling for protesters to “Occupy Congress” Jan. 6, 2021, then shoved officers, tried to grab their pepper spray, swung a metal pole at one officer and hurled a cylindrical tube, all on his way into the Capitol.
