A Trump supporter who marched to the US Capitol on January 6 now compares the 'Stop the Steal' movement to a 'cult'

A Georgia man who traveled to Washington, DC and marched to the US Capitol to protest the 2020 election results on behalf of Donald Trump now compares the movement to a cult.

After Fox News called the swing state of Arizona for Joe Biden on Election night in 2020, a 49-year-old man thought he had found his voice.

Scott told CNN in an interview published on Wednesday that January 6 was the greatest day of his life.

After the 2020 election, Scott said he eagerly embraced Trump's claims of a stolen election, fueled by radio programs hosted by the far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and the former president's unsuccessful challenges to legal ballots.

At the time, Scott heard an advertisement about a group of people in Atlanta, so he went to check it out and told CNN he was hooked.

He spent the next several months living in his vehicle and attending Stop the Steal rallies across the country.

Scott told the network that he felt like he was doing something.

Georgia was one of the closest states in the nation on Election night, but there was no proof of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

In 2020, Biden defeated Trump in Georgia by 11,779 votes out of nearly 5 million votes cast, the president received 2,473,633 votes, or 49.5%, while Trump earned 2,461,854 votes, or 49.2%.

Since his statewide loss, Trump has inserted himself into Georgia politics, even pushing for Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn Biden's statewide victory.

Scott told the network that he was near the western entrance of the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Scott told CNN that he did not enter the building that day and that he has not been sought by the FBI. More than 700 people have been charged in connection to the riot.

Scott said that people who had physical confrontations with police officers should be held accountable.

He told CNN that he didn't know how the events would end, but that he saw bad things on January 6 regardless of which side you were on.

Scott still supports a lot of their beliefs despite his newfound feelings for the movement.

After the riot ended, Scott traveled to Texas to see a friend, where he revealed that he had just escaped a cult, and that he would write a book about it.

He wants the book to be an alarm bell for people who are seeking refuge.

He told the network that he wanted to look out for people.
