A member of the pro-Trump that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 is asking supporters of Joe Biden and individuals who support causes like transgender rights, to not support his business.
Adam Newbold, a retired Navy Seal and owner of C4 coffee in Lisbon, Ohio, posted a video to Rumble on March 19 telling Biden voters, those who support transgender rights, and kneeling during the national anthem to not buy his coffee.
“If you voted for Joe Biden, don’t buy our coffee, it’s not for you. If you believe there was nothing wrong with this election, don’t buy our coffee. It’s not for you,” Newbold said WKBN 27 reports. “If you feel that America is on the right track and there’s nothing wrong with gender neutral, don’t know which bathroom to use, use whichever bathroom you feel like during the day, don’t buy our coffee cause it’s not for you.”
Newbold also admitted to being at the Capitol on Jan. 6 but claims he never went inside the building and was never a part of any criminal activity that took place that day.
“I was there, I witnessed the patriotic angry Americans chanting, ‘USA, USA and whose house – our house, and singing the National Anthem alongside the police officers on the Capitol steps,” he said.
Photos from the Capitol show Newbold wearing a black “We the People” T-shirt and straddling a Capitol Police motorcycle.
He has not been charged with any crimes.
Newbold also owns Advanced Training Group Worldwide, which consults for federal agencies, law enforcement and the military, according to WKBN 27. His company received $1.4 million from the Department of Defense in 2015 for government services but reportedly resigned as a contractor with the Navy Warrior Challenge program.
After the riot, he posted a video on social media saying, “It was historic, it was necessary, and the reason I say I’m proud of Americans is because I wasn’t sure if we still had the spine anymore. Now I see that it exists.”
