Chuck Norris' Rep. Clears The Air After Photos Of Lookalike At Capitol Riot Go Viral

Last week, following the riot and storming of the U.S. Capitol, pictures emerged showing insurrectionists posing with a man they claimed to be martial arts actor Chuck Norris.

Others saw their posts and soon "Chuck Norris" was trending.





Many online spoke out against Norris after hearing he had allegedly been a part of the violent mob that vandalized and looted the Capitol.

But before long, many were expressing uncertainty that the man in the pictures was actually Norris.




Sure enough, Erik Kritzer, the 80-year-old actor's spokesperson, gave a statement to People Magazine, saying:

"This is not Chuck Norris and is a wannabe look-alike although Chuck is much more handsome. Chuck remains on his range in Texas where he has been with his family."

It turns out the man in the picture is just a Trump supporter who happens to look like Chuck Norris.

Of course, many Twitter users couldn't resist the desire to make a Chuck Norris joke.


Though Norris wasn't at the rally, the actor is a longtime Republican who endorsed President Trump in 2016, although he refrained from doing the same in 2020.



When action fans saw Chuck Norris trending, many decided to recommend other action stars with a more progressive political history.



In the age of the internet, one can never be too careful when it comes to fact-checking what we see on social media.

HGTV Stars Respond To Backlash From Christian Fans For Casting Same-Sex Couple In Their New Series

At the time, the couple owned and operated Magnolia Homes, a remodeling and design business in Waco, Texas, and their HGTV program Fixer Upper was a hit. After the show ended in 2018, the couple created their own Magnolia Network in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery in 2020 to create original content and air other home and lifestyle programs.

JD Vance Called Out For Hypocrisy As He Visits Disneyland With His Family Amid Boos

On Saturday, one-time vehement Trump critic turned MAGA Republican convert Vice President JD Vance went on vacation to Disneyland in blue state California, despite Disney World in red state Florida being closer to Washington D.C. and in the middle of MAGA territory.

The administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump is currently engaged in a face-off with California over occupying forces sent by Trump to Los Angeles, which is about 50 miles from Anaheim where Disneyland is located, making Vance's choice even more questionable.

Joe Biden Calls Out 'Liar' Trump Over His Claims About Biden's Use Of Autopen For Pardons

Speaking to The New York Times, former President Joe Biden called President Donald Trump a "liar" over claims that Biden's pardons are "void" because they were done by autopen, a conspiracy theory heavily promoted by Republicans who've already suggested many times that Biden was not mentally fit while in office.

In the final hours of his presidency, Biden issued a series of preemptive pardons, including ones for his relatives, all members of the House committee that investigated the January 6 attack—such as former Congresswoman Liz Cheney—and several of Trump’s most prominent adversaries, including General Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci.
