Truck parked at Capitol on day of riot belongs to husband of GOP congresswoman who quoted Hitler

A truck parked outside of the US Capitol bearing a sticker of a far-right militia group on the day of the 6 January riot belongs to the husband of a freshman Republican representative best known for quoting Adolf Hitler.

The truck, which The Daily Beast reported is owned by Chris Miller, the husband of Illinois representative Mary Miller, featured a sticker for the far-right militia movement, The Three Percenters.

The militia group, which takes its name from the false claim that only 3 per cent of US colonists fought at any one time during the American Revolution, advocates for gun ownership and a resistance to the federal government.

Robert Gieswein, who prosecutors claim is affiliated to the group, was indicted on several felony charges following the riot, alongside more than 200 others. Five people died and several more were injured on that day as a mob of pro-Trump supporters breached the Capitol.
