Robert Keith Packer, Man Who Wore ‘Camp Auschwitz’ Hoodie At Capitol Riots, Arrested

Amid the deadly Capitol Hill riots on Wednesday, a bearded rioter was spotted wearing a black anti-Semitic “Camp Auschwitz” hoodie. On Tuesday, the man seen in the footage, Robert Keith Packer, was arrested by police in Newport News, Virginia.

The rioters broke into the U.S. Capitol, interrupting the long-anticipated January 6 joint congressional session as Congress and Vice President Mike Pence counted the Electoral College votes that confirmed the victory of President-elect Joe Biden.

Among rioters was a man with an anti-Semitic sweatshirt that read “Camp Auschwitz,” a reference to a Nazi extermination camp during the Third Reich’s genocide campaign against Jews during World War II where 1.1 million died.

The sweatshirt, which is emblazoned with the phrase, “work brings freedom,” which were the words on the concentration camp’s gates.
