Screenshots were shared on social media falsely claiming to provide evidence that a man photographed in the Capitol building after a pro-Trump rally on January 6 is part of Antifa.
Reports (here, here, here) post an image of protesters in the Capitol building, along with another image obtained by ‘phillyantifa.org’.
The Philly Antifa website (phillyantifa.org) does have a page with an image of a bearded man who shares certain characteristics with the person seen in the Capitol building. However, this page does not describe the man as an Antifa supporter. Instead, the image is said to show an individual belonging to a very different group opposing Philly Antifa.
Reuters did not identify the person in the Capitol building. However, a comparison of tattooing on the right hand of both people indicates that they are not the same person (compare this picture from the Antifa website here with this AFP image here).
The tattoo seen on the other side of the person in the Capitol building appears to be a symbol from a computer game (here) and not a hammer and sickle symbol as some reports suggest (here).
Reuters has already identified a man wearing a hat with fur and horns, as well as a painted face, as previously attending a pro-Trump rally and supporting the QAnon conspiracy theory (here).
VERDICT
Untrue. An image posted on the Philly Antifa website does not prove that a man pictured in the Capitol building on January 6 was a member of Antifa.
