Reed Knox Christensen, 62, is the fourth Oregonian to be charged in connection with the Jan. 6 assault
A 62 year-old Hillsboro man who once served on a local Oregon Republican committee was arrested in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
On Sunday, the FBI arrested Reed Knox Christensen. He’s charged with six counts, including engaging in an act of physical violence in the Capitol building, civil disorder, and entering or remaining on restricted grounds without lawful authority.
Christensen, a registered Republican, served in a leadership position with the Washington County Republican Central Committee. According to internet archives of the county GOP’s website, Christensen served as the group’s “secretary/house captain lead” as recently as Jan. 17. His photo has since been removed.
Documents filed with the Oregon Secretary of State’s Office also list Christensen’s association with the committee and list his occupation as a design engineer for Intel. A company spokesperson declined to comment.

I'm not surprised that some of the Trump supporters are now putting their head in the sand and saying that they won't listen or watch the Republican insurrectionists get arrested and charged. It is reminiscent of Nathan Bedford Forrest's reaction after the civil war.
