    "Prosecutors said Philip Sean Grillo, who is running for the seat previously held by George Santos, had videotaped himself during the 2021 attack on the Capitol.

    Interesting. I’m curious why he brought 20+ year old video equipment with him. It seems like the article would address that oddity. It’s getting tough to find new old stock blank video tapes.

      The picture in the article he’s shown holding a cell phone shooting what looks like a selfie video but with the back camera.

      Don’t need a blank tape. Just need one that you can write to.

      But in a way, I’m not surprised. Being paranoid about smartphones and tracking info goes hand in hand with conspiracy theories about stolen elections and State-run cannibal pedo rings.
