This Tuesday, authorities reported that the man they arrested for ramming into the White House security barriers is Sai Varshith Kandula of Chesterfield, Missouri, a 19-year-old who allegedly had a Nazi flag on him at the time he crashed.

On Monday night, the Secret Service reported that , adjacent to the White House grounds. Authorities arrested a man at the scene and later reported that the preliminary investigation indicated that the driver intentionally crashed into the barriers.

Police did not elaborate on a possible motive, but several media outlets highlighted that one of the officers collecting evidence from the truck found a Nazi flag, which seemed to indicate that a "white supremacist" was involved. However, after the suspect's name and physical appearance came to light, many Twitter users reacted to the irony that the alleged "Nazi white supremacist" is not exactly white.

"It's quite ironic how the Left/the media paint so many dark-skinned people as 'white supremacists'," one of the users commented.

"A very tan white supremacist oddly named Sai Varshith Kandula slowly drove an empty U-Haul truck into barriers at the White House equipped with nothing more than a Nazi flag. Yeah aight. Y’all ain’t even trying anymore," wrote another social media user.

The charges Kandula faces

U.S. Park Police stated that the juvenile now faces multiple charges including assault with a dangerous weapon, the threat to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm on a president, vice president, or family, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, destruction of federal property, and trespassing.
