Chuck Norris's manager says actor was not at U.S. Capitol riot

Share:

In an op-ed written for the website WND, Norris wrote: 'And most grievous of all, justice seats on the U.S. Supreme Court will be filled by Hillary's nominees, and their next decade of decisions will certainly dismantle or destroy what is left of our republic'.

The image showed a man with an appearance like the legendary actor posing with a Trump supporter, identified as Matthew Bledsoe, in what appears to be the moments before the invasion of the Capitol building.

A photo appearing to show the martial artist taking a selfie with a Trump supporter in Washington, D.C. began circulating on Twitter, implying that Norris attended. At least five people died as a result of the riot.

However, the Walker, Texas Ranger shut down the chatter on Wednesday NZT, saying he was "always for law and order".

A rep for the actor also denied the rumours.

"This is not Chuck Norris and is a wannabe lookalike although Chuck is much more handsome", he said. "Chuck remains on his range in Texas where he has been with his family", Kritzer stated.

"I recently learned there was a Chuck Norris lookalike at the DC Capitol riots".

His article lashed out at attempts to change a centuries-old policy that banned gay scouts and leaders, criticising Obama's "pro-gay agenda" and accusing his administration of favouring homosexuals over Christians and U.S. taxpayers.

The 80-year-old actor has not made any other statements about the riots or attended rallies during the pandemic, Kritzer said.

What further added fuel to the speculation fire was that Norris has previously endorsed President Donald Trump and has been a proud Republican for years. He found big-screen success in films such as Lone Wolf McQuade, Code of Honor, Missing in Action and Delta Force, all staples of late-night cable TV.

Norris is best known for playing the karate-kicking lawman Cordell Walker in "Walker, Texas Ranger" which ran between 1993 and 2001. Authorities continue to search for others who were involved.
