“We were all there. It was not Antifa and it was not BLM. It was Trump supporters that did that yesterday. I’m the first to admit it, being one myself. I walked amongst all those people.” he said. 

Marjorie Taylor Greene has had a long history of promoting dangerous conspiracies and comments. Right before the Capitol attack, she was seen encouraging lies about the election and boosting people’s belief that the election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.

She enticed violence by asking supporters to “fight for Trump”.

Aguero said, “The National Guard has just been called in. A woman was shot in the face earlier. There was blood all over the floor. I recorded it for y’all. I could not go live during the whole event because the signal was either jammed purposely or there were just too many, too many people out there. Guys, I was able to make it inside the chambers and I have footage that I’m going to provide for you guys as we made our way in there.”

Greene and Aguero have been in association for a long time. The conservative live streamer has made his appreciation for Greene quite known on his social media. 

While confirming his presence at Capitol as an “independent journalist” on January 6 to CNN, Aguero also restated his support for Greene by saying, “I fully support Marjorie Taylor Greene. We need more great people like her. God bless her and her family.” 

Greene and Aguero have been working together for a while now. Greene had been temporarily banned from her Facebook page in May 2019, she had used Anthony’s Facebook account for live streaming. 

Most recently the two were spotted in Washington on November 14, 2020, at a “March for Trump” rally. Greene had spoken at the event. Aguera was seen accompanying Greene of the stage after she spoke. 

Aguero has a history of criminal violence, as per online court records. In 2010, he pleaded guilty to violent assault causing serious bodily injury. In 2015, he was convicted of vehicular assault while he was intoxicated and was sentenced to jail for two years.
