The Clark Kent look-alike that was spotted behind witnesses at the January 6th Committee hearings has just been identified.

TMZ has just identified the Clark Kent look-alike who went viral on social media after appearing on screen during the January 6th Committee hearings. Their sources reported to them that the Clark Kentesque figure is none other than Alex Wollet— a med school student from Ohio.

Wollet is currently doing a fellowship at The National Institutes of Health in Washington D.C. Alex became a big news story overnight, to the point where he had to change his Instagram account to private.

The January 6th Committee in which Wollet appeared was the eighth such meeting and was held yesterday, July 21st, 2022. This is the last of the committee’s planned summertime hearings.

One of the topics that was gone over during the hearings was Donald Trump’s outtakes of a video he recorded to address the nation on January 7th, 2021. In the video, it is demonstrated that he repeatedly holds a commitment to downplaying the events of January 6th and giving further justification to the radicalized far-right who stormed the capitol building.

Trump threw the script to the wind and often went off the cuff, in true Trump fashion. In the video, he also doubled down that the election was stolen, despite losing the popular vote in both 2016 and 2020 and not attaining the required number of electoral votes in 2020.

“In outtakes of President Donald Trump’s address to the nation on Jan. 7, 2021 — the day after a mob of his supporters ransacked the Capitol — he protested, “I don’t want to say the election’s over,” rejecting the speech that had been prepared for him. wapo.st/3J1BxFQ”

“Clark Kent is trending because… someone at the January 6 hearings looks like him (glasses, slicked-back hair, a blue suit and tie, albeit gold-colored)?

Obviously he’s there covering the story for the Daily Planet?”
