Maybe he felt the nation was in distress that day?

All I'm saying is that the gesture isn't an invention of the J6 crowd. It's spelled out in US Flag Code.

I agree with you there, and I am constantly annoyed with that group appropriating traditional symbols of our nation for their own fucked up movement. Hell dude, in 2020 I started feeling resentful every time I saw the US Flag at all, because they had successfully associated it so strongly with their group. It wasn't until earlier this year that I decided I'm going to start reclaiming symbols they have taken from us, and using them regardless of that group's claims.
