Video Shows Newly Elected W.Va. Lawmaker Among Mob That Stormed The U.S. Capitol

A followup NPR article notes that the video was originally a live feed on the Facebook page of Republican Derrick Evans, member of the West Virginia House of Delegates.  It's since been deleted, but not before copies were made and spread across the Web.  Evans is currently claiming he was there "as an independent member of the media to film history" even though he isn't a journalist of any kind.  However, the members of the mob in his vicinity clearly knew who he was, and "We're in! We're in! Derrick Evans is in the Capitol!" can be heard on the video.

West Virginia House Speaker Roger Hanshaw has implied he's going to be interrogating Evans as to just what the hell he was doing.  And there have been calls for his resignation from other House of Delegates members.

And he's now facing federal charges. Fellow Delegates are demanding his resignation or expulsion from the House of Delegates. And his lawyer says he was carried along by the wave of humanity and "had no choice but to enter". Yeah, right. And he had no choice but to yell triumphantly "we're in!"
