A profile from Backstage.com shows that Mr Angeli was at one point looking for acting work.

Cari Kelemen, a right-wing YouTuber, shared images of Mr Angeli on Twitter from a Black Lives Matter protest in Arizona earlier in the year and a climate rally, pointing out that he was an actor in an attempt to deflect blame for the riot off of Trump supporters.

"Trump supporters don't usually attend 'climate activism' events. The guy is an actor. Who knows what side he's on?" she wrote.

She was one of many conservatives who attempted to pin the blame for the insurrection on antifa or other alleged outside interlopers. Sarah Palin made similar claims on Fox News, and Rep. Matt Gaetz even repeated the unsubstantiated conspiracy theory in the House chamber during the Congressional vote tally.

However, based on his own signs, photos of him on social media posing with individuals like Mr Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and reporting from his hometown, there is no reason to assume Mr Angeli is anything other than a Trump supporter from Arizona who flew to DC and stormed the Capitol building alongside others loyal to the president.

Actor - check (just like the Pizzagate "shooter")
BLM and climate change - check
