An official who works on former President Donald Trump’s New Hampshire campaign told officers on Jan. 6 to kill themselves during the Capitol riot.
Dylan Quattrucci, the deputy state director of Trump’s 2024 campaign in New Hampshire, was first seen in a video recorded on the day of the riot and shared online by an account associated with “Sedition Hunters,” a group of online sleuths who have helped authorities identify rioters from Jan. 6, according to NBC News.
NBC News was the first to report Quattrucci’s involvement in the riot after two people familiar with him confirmed that he is the man in the video.
“I have a message. If you are a police officer and are going to abide by unconstitutional bullsh*t, I want you to do me a favor right now and go hang yourself, because you’re a piece of sh*t. Go f**k yourself,” Quattrucci says in the video.
At least four officers who responded to the Jan. 6 riot have died by suicide since the attack.
Questions began swirling about Quattrucci’s involvement in the riot since WMUR-TV first reported on his now-deleted tweets from the riot. In one tweet he called then-Vice-President Mike Pence a “traitor to America.” In another tweet he wrote: “I’m bleeding for my country. You’ll have to kill me to stop my #FightForTrump.”
However, there’s no evidence to show that Quattrucci entered the Capitol that day. Its also not clear whether he still works for the Trump campaign.
