Originally from Gravette in Northwest, Arkansas, “Bigo’s” real name is Richard Barnett, reportedly a former Memphis firefighter. Bigo said he went to Washington to see President Trump speak.
“The crowds were unbelievable,” he said. “We marched down there. They start tear-gassing us. They start roughing up our people. It pissed some people off,” Barnett said. “They went to the front door, and they started demanding to be let inside. I wasn’t even up there at that point. I was climbing the steps to see what was going on. When I got to the top, they had breached the doors and were trying to get in.”
“I didn’t do anything,” Barnett told CBS affiliate KSFM on Wednesday. “I didn’t breach the doors. I got shoved in. I didn’t mean to be there. Hell, I was walking around looking for a bathroom.”
Barnett admitted to taking an envelope off Pelosi’s desk but said he only did so because he bled on it. “They were macing me, and I couldn’t (expletive) see, so I figured I am in her office,” he said, according to a Capitol Police investigator.
“I threw my feet up on the desk at that point. I realized some a**holes had cut me also and I bled on her envelope, so I picked up the envelope and put it in my pocket, and I put a quarter on the desk cause I’m not a thief,” Barnett told 5NEWS.
He says he carried a flag into her office, left her a note, and was removed by Capitol Police. The note he left said,” Nancy, Bigo was here, you B****.”
It seems many others also have a low opinion of Nancy Pelosi. Her daughter, Alexandra Pelosi, said this about her onCNN’s “New Day,” “she will cut your head off, and you won’t even know you’re bleeding.” And Bigo isn’t the only one known to have called Nancy by “that name.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene is a businesswoman who beat neurosurgeon John Cowan in the Georgia 14th congressional district race. She had this to say: “I just wanna say to Nancy Pelosi. She’s a hypocrite. She’s anti-American. And we’re going to kick that b***h out of Congress,” she added to loud applause.
President Trump has called Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a ‘Sick Puppy.’ And Judicial Watch, a public interest group, investigated Pelosi for abuse and corruption of office. After one such investigation, Judicial Watch announced it had obtained documents from the Air Force detailing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s use of United States Air Force aircraft for Congressional Delegations (CODELs).
According to the documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the Speaker’s military travel cost the United States Air Force $2,100,744.59 over two years — $101,429.14 of which was for in-flight expenses, including food and alcohol.
Speaker Pelosi used Air Force aircraft to travel back to her district at an average cost of $28,210.51 per flight. The average cost of an international CODEL is $228,563.33. Of the 103 Pelosi-led congressional delegations (CODEL), 31 trips included members of the House Speaker’s family.
Purchases for one CODEL Nancy and other members of Congress took included: Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey’s Irish Crème, Maker’s Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewar’s scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey, Corona beer and several bottles of wine.
These documents suggest the Speaker’s congressional delegations are more about partying than anything else,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
When asked about the possibility of facing federal charges for illegally entering the Speaker’s office, Barnett said, “Am I scared? Hell no. But yeah, there’s a possibility. I didn’t do anything. I didn’t breach the doors. I got shoved in. I didn’t mean to be there. Hell. I was walking around looking for a bathroom.”
If convicted, Barnett faces a maximum penalty of one year in prison, according to a US Department of Justice statement. One protester paid the ultimate price for attempting to gain access through broken glass.
Ashli Babbit was a 35-year-old from the San Diego-area, and an Air Force veteran, as identified by KUSI news in San Diego, which broke her identity in the news. Babbit was shot by a member of law enforcement, according to law enforcement officials, while attempting to gain entry to a restricted area. The New York Post reported that the officer was with the Capitol Police. DC police later said the officer was a plainclothes Capitol police officer and did not release his name.
Barnett was not near the shooting but said he believes the woman died a hero. “She died a hero, a patriot, and I feel for her family,” he said. “That shouldn’t have happened.”
Rep. Steve Womack, the Republican congressman from Barnett’s district, released a scathing tweet concerning Barnett’s actions: “I’m sickened to learn that the below actions were perpetrated by a constituent. It’s an embarrassment to the people of the Third District and does not reflect our values. He must be held accountable and face the fullest extent of the law.”
Living up to her reputation, Pelosi called for the resignation of US Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, who will formally step down on Jan. 16. “There was a failure of leadership at the top of the Capitol Police. He hasn’t even called us since this happened,” she said, referring to Sund. Also submitting his resignation is the House Sergeant at Arms.
He was probably one of those who walked in there like a tourist and strolled around...I can tell you by looking at him that he wasn’t dressed in a ninja suit and scaling the walls on the back part of the building!

Way to own your actions, Bigo. Quite the bold Patriot.
AShli Babbitt is a great heroine , a modern Joan of Arc fighting for Liberty.
What happened on the 6th January ?
I can tell you what happened: The Rebirth of the populist movement in America.
And we be coming for ya Nancy. Get out while you can.
The witch is completely insane, off her tee entirely.
does he have a crowd sourcing/funding account?
I don’t think they would let him have a crowd sourcing/funding account. If one was started for him it would be shut down.
“I didn’t breach the doors. I got shoved in. I didn’t mean to be there. Hell, I was walking around looking for a bathroom.”
When facing 15 years people sure do curl up and become meek. He did not sit at her desk in that posture out of just looking for a bathroom. As you said He needs to own his actions.

I think he already has, and it appears he did not destroy any property or attack anyone. So it will be interesting to hear exactly what he’s found guilty of that warrants a jail sentence! Of course there are countries where just trespassing on government property without any weapon can get you executed. Perhaps the USA will soon become one of them!
I have seen no evidence of it yet. But He should have one once he gets an Attorney.
Like you, I will be kicking in a few shekels for his defense. I do not believe he committed any crime. The Capital police have been videoed letting protesters into the Capitol.
exactly....cops let em in....
