MAGA Rioter Just Arrested for Assaulting Capitol Cops Refers to Himself as the ‘Sandwich Nazi’
George Pierre Tanios, a 39-year-old MAGA rioter who was arrested on Sunday for allegedly assaulting late Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick, refers to himself as the “Sandwich Nazi” in his LinkedIn profile.
West Virginia Metro News reports that Tanios is the owner of the Sandwich University diner in Morgantown, West Virginia, which describes itself as the “King of the Fat Sandwich” on its website.
In his LinkedIn profile, Tanios lists being a “Sandwich Nazi” as his work experience, although it’s not clear if this is a commentary on his own far-right political views that inspired him to storm the United States Capitol on January 6th in the name of keeping former President Donald Trump in power.
Tanios also appears to have operated an Instagram account under the name @thesandwichnazi, which has been taken offline. However, the Instagram profile for Sandwich University still mentions it.
Tanios and 32-year-old Pennsylvania resident Julian Elie Khater were arrested this week and charged with assaulting Sicknick, who was hospitalized in the wake of the riots before dying hours later, along with two other police officers.
Khater and Tanios are facing a total of nine criminal counts and are due to appear in court on Monday.
