Britney Spears' ex Jason Allen Alexander was seen at the pro-Trump protest-turned-riot, which broke out in Washington, DC, as Congress was set to count electoral votes to certify Joe Biden's presidential win.

Alexander was briefly married to Spears (his childhood friend from Kentwood, Louisiana) in 2004 after the two eloped in Las Vegas. The marriage was annulled only 55 hours after taking place.

Posting selfies in a "Trump 45" beanie to Facebook,  he captioned, “DC. Millions showed up.”

As TMZ reports, it is currently unclear whether Alexander was part of the mob that broke into the Capitol Building.

Alexander’s Facebook page, which is public, displays anti-mask and pro-Trump leanings; under “employment”, he wrote "Journalist researcher at Conspiracy Theories & History".

On 6 January, Alexander also posted a video with the caption, "Where all my patriots I'm on the Trump Train what will you tell your grandkids".

This past August, Alexander had been seen at #FreeBritney protest in Los Angeles, where fans of the singer were protesting against her ongoing conservatorship. Alexander told Us Weekly, "I’m here to show support for the #FreeBritney movement and Britney. This is an unfortunate situation that’s been in her life for a long time. It’s affected me and her, and that makes me part of it. I’ve been quiet for 10 years, and I feel [like] what a good time to come forward now with the movement making noise and the conservatorship hearings going on."
