Case Summary
According to federal agents, in the weeks following the presidential election of November, 2020, Bart Gore sent private Facebook messages to acquaintances about coming to Washington, D.C., on January 6th. "I'd love to be the one to capture Obama or Hillary. I'd strip them naked and beat them," read one message. In another, he claimed he would be bringing a gun, and wrote that "I'll fight til I can't fight anymore." Gore was subsequently seen in security and open-source footage at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, entering the building through the Senate Fire Door at approximately 2:47 pm. He was arrested on Dec. 12, 2023.
