Among the Confederate flag-waving racists, Proud Boy thugs, and CoupQAnon shaman cosplayers at the deadly seditionist insurrection on January 6 at the Capitol was a radicalized Catholic priest from Nebraska named David Fulton, who thought it would be cool to do an "exorcism" of the Capitol. A videographer named Eddie Becker captured Fulton on video:
"The Catholic priest, dressed in his clerical collar, was walking through a crowd of Trump supporters outside the Capitol on Jan. 6 and holding a book about exorcisms when a videographer approached.
'Did you do an exorcism at the Capitol?' the videographer asked.
'Yes, I did,' the priest answered, before suggesting that a “demon” had taken hold of Congress. [snip]
'What was it like for you in there?' Becker asked Fulton as he approached.
'Pretty awesome … I didn’t get way up there, but the crowd was awesome, the atmosphere. It’s good to see so many people who care about the country concerned about the country. People who know what’s going on, the obvious steal,' Fulton said, referencing former president Donald Trump’s baseless claims of widespread election fraud.
After Fulton claimed to have performed an exorcism, Becker asked him, 'What has possessed the Capitol?' Fulton said that the building had been taken over by a 'demon called Baphomet' intent on 'dissolving the country.'” (our emphasis)
