'Always for law and order': Chuck Norris denies being at Capitol attack after image goes viral

Martial artist and actor says there is ‘no room for violence of any kind in our society’ after lookalike image sparks speculation

Chuck Norris, the Hollywood actor, martial arts legend and occasional meme, has publicly denied being at last week’s Capitol riot after images circulated online showing a man with a remarkable resemblance.

“It wasn’t me and I wasn’t there. There is no room for violence of any kind in our society. I am and always will be for Law and Order,” tweeted the actor, taking a stance his law-enforcing character in Walker, Texas Ranger, might have been proud of.
