According to prosecutors, Ayres entered the Capitol through the Senate Wing doors at around 2:51 p.m., after a makeshift barricade set up by Capitol police had been breached by other rioters. He remained inside the building for around 10 minutes.
The next day, Ayres was featured in a video posted to YouTube in which he and two other people were talking about Jan. 6.
The video was labeled: “It was all Antifa breaking into the Capitol 1-6-2021.”
“It’s not over, trust me,” a man—not Ayres—on the video said. “The purpose of today was to expose [then-Vice President Mike Pence] as a traitor.”
“The American people are not going to let this slide, especially after today,” a woman on the video said.
“Yup,” Ayres responded, adding that “fake news” media would not accurately report on what happened at the Capitol, but that they had “seen it all” and gathered “footage all over the place on the Capitol.”
