>In public and private posts online, court documents say, Pendley claimed to have been at the Capitol on January 6, but not to have entered the building. He expressed disappointment that his fellow protesters weren’t more aggressive.
According to the government he called himself a "patriot" when describing how he would carry out an attack: https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txnd.346637/gov.uscourts.txnd.346637.1.0.pdf https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txnd.346637... . His goal for the attack was to provoke a big government response that would wake people up about government overreach.
I guess it depends on your personal standard of evidence, but when someone hangs out on far-right message boards, drives to DC with an AR rifle in his car to attend a far-right protest, and plans a bomb attack on behalf of a popular far-right cause in order to show people that the government is too powerful, at some point you probably begin identifying the person as far-right.
