St. Louis Cardinals superfan Daniel Donnelly Jr., also known as Rally Runner, was a notable figure at Busch Stadium. However, he gained attention for his involvement in the Capitol riots on January 6, 2021. According to federal prosecutors, Donnelly has been indicted on five federal charges, including a felony count of civil disorder. He was arrested on Wednesday, and his actions during the riot have been detailed in court documents. St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports on the indictment and arrest.
According to a criminal complaint, Donnelly was easily identifiable during the riot due to his red outfit and “Keep America Great” hat. Photos and videos show him leading protesters towards a tunnel that led to the Capitol. He was seen holding a riot shield and assisting other rioters in clashes with law enforcement officers. The court documents state that Donnelly remained at the frontlines, enduring chemical irritants and participating in confrontations. In a 26-minute video on Facebook, he boasted about his involvement in the riot, expressing disappointment about the effects of the mace. KDSK provides further details from the court documents. Donnelly’s interview with law enforcement and his mention on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show are also highlighted.
The arrest of Donnelly, who had been previously discussed on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News program, dispelled rumors that he may have been a federal agent due to the lack of arrest. Donnelly expressed disappointment in Carlson for spreading false information. NBC News provides additional coverage of Donnelly’s arrest and his response to the conspiracy theory.
