The editor-in-chief of the Jewish Press, a Jewish newspaper based in Brooklyn that serves a primarily Orthodox audience, was identified as one of the protesters who breached the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

Elliot Resnick was identified in a video of the Capitol breach by an anonymous researcher and first reported by Politico.

Resnick later wrote about the Jan. 6 incident without disclosing that he participated.

“Democrats keep on declaring that never again can this country see its Capitol overtaken by a mob,” he wrote in a post from March 17 on the website American Thinker. “Well, there’s an easy solution for that. Don’t steal elections in plain sight, and maybe ordinarily law-abiding citizens won’t snap.”

Resnick was a longtime supporter of President Donald Trump, who claimed that he lost to Joe Biden in November because the voting was rigged.

In the video, Resnick can be seen stumbling as he enters the Capitol building through a doorway while a Capitol police officer tries to keep out the intruders. He reappears a few minutes later, his face clearly visible, standing nearby as another rioter shouts at a Capitol police officer.

Resnick declined to answer Politico’s requests for comment. But the publisher of the Jewish Press, Naomi Mauer, sent a statement to the publication Monday.

“As we understand the facts, we believe that Mr. Resnick acted within the law,” Mauer said in an email, declining to respond to follow-up questions.

Resnick, who has edited the Jewish Press since 2018, has been criticized for what critics say is his use of incendiary language. The criticism has included push back by the Anti-Defamation League for a 2019 op-ed titled “The Pride Parade: What Are They Proud Of” comparing gay marchers in the New York event to animals, adulterers and thieves.

“If blacks resent America’s [sic] so much, let them discard Christianity (which the ‘white man’ gave them) and re-embrace the primitive religions they practiced in Africa,” Resnick wrote in a tweet in 2019.

“Can someone give me a coherent reason why blackface is racist?” he wrote in another tweet that year.

The Jewish Press was edited in the 1960s by Rabbi Meir Kahane, a Jewish nationalist later elected to the Knesset who advocated the transfer of Arabs out of Israel.

Though the weekly distanced itself from Kahane in 1969, as recently as last week it published a piece with the headline “Arab MKs Get Away with Altered Swearing-In Text, But When MK Kahane Did It He Was Banned.”

In 2015, Resnick gave a glowing review to a Kahane biography written by Kahane’s wife and described his own experience of “near trance” while reading one of Kahane’s books in high school.

Resnick was not the only Orthodox Jewish participant in the Capitol protests. Aaron Mostofsky, whose father is a Kings County Supreme Court judge and a former president of the National Council of Young Israel — an Orthodox synagogue association that has been outspokenly pro-Trump — was arrested by the FBI at his Brooklyn home in January. Some other Orthodox Jews also present at the Capitol demonstration traveled on chartered buses from a number of Orthodox Jewish communities.
