President Trump, defiant in remarks to reporters after his role in instigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol, spoke Tuesday to the media on the White House South Lawn before a crowd of supporters — and the CSPAN camera captured among his supporters a familiar face in the LGBTQ movement. Gregory Angelo, who served as head of Log Cabin Republicans from 2013 to 2018, can be seen cheering on Trump less than a week after the president’s remarks at the “Stop the Steal” rally, where he made baseless charges about election fraud and instigated the assault on the U.S. Capitol leading to the deaths of at least five individuals. House Democrats are moving forward with impeachment charges; Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) announced Tuesday she will vote to impeach. Angelo, applauding as Trump exited the South Portico, can be heard emphatically addressing him as “president.” The camera pans away as Trump delivers a wave to the crowd, then returns to show Angelo as he proclaims, “Thank you, President Trump.” After he left Log Cabin, Angelo became a stalwart defender of Trump on Twitter, disputing the notion Trump was anti-LGBTQ by pointing to openly gay appointments like Richard Grenell and the Trump administration’s plan to beat HIV/AIDS by 2030. Angelo also took to Capitol Hill to lobby against passage of the Equality Act, which would amend the Civil Right Acts of 1964 to explicitly define anti-LGBTQ discrimination as a form of sex discrimination under the law.
