A couple of idiots that stormed the U.S. Capitol are claiming that they were Journalists.

Dick NeCarlo entered the U.S. Capitol last week with a mob incited by President Trump, he said he wasn't there to join the insurrection but to report on the mayhem shaking the nation.

NeCarlo and colleague Nicholas Ochs blurred the line between journalism and activism for a far-right cause.

As they entered the Capitol, the two paused for a photograph in front of a door where someone had scrawled “Murder the Media.” They identified themselves as reporters to police, who didn't stop them, NeCarlo said.

“One did ask us when we were going to leave," he said later by phone. "We said we’ll leave when we’re done reporting on it — when we’ve got our scoop.”

But there was less journalism and more far-right sentiment evident in video the two men soon posted: “Congress stopped the vote when we stormed the Capitol. As we’ve been saying all day: We came here to stop the steal,” Ochs says.

“We did it!” NeCarlo replies. “That’s what I came down here to do. That’s what we did.”

Some mainstream journalists were threatened and beaten by the crowd, but NeCarlo and Ochs emerged unscathed.

The next day, Ochs was arrested by the FBI on federal charges of unlawful entry into a restricted building. 

"What I did was journalism: Follow the events and show people what happened,” said NeCarlo, who uses a scrambled version of his real name, which he declined to disclose given the crackdown. "I’m not doing anything wrong."

FTVLive will let the courts decide if what he did was wrong or not. But, this much we know for sure, this idiot is not a Journalist.
