The MAGA rioter who put his feet up on Nancy Pelosi's desk has been arrested along with a man who brought 11 Molotov cocktails, two handguns and an assault rifle to the Capitol on Wednesday.

The DoJ announced on a call with reporters on Friday afternoon that 15 people had been charged including Richard Barnett, 60, who was seen putting his feet on Speaker Pelosi's desk and leaving a threatening note on it on Wednesday.

Barnett, who proudly referred to himself as a white nationalist on social media, was charged with unlawful entry. He was taken into custody at his home in Little Rock, Arkansas. It's unclear where he now is or if he'll be extradited but he is in custody.

Lonnie Coffman, 70, has also been arrested after police found his red GMC pick-up truck near the RNC - where a pipe bomb was left. He has not been charged over the pipe bomb but cops found two handguns, 11 Molotov cocktails and an M4 carbine assault rifle in his vehicle.

Betting he is Antifa. That is their tactics and Antifa was calling on its troops to go to DC dressed in MAGA hats, camos, and American flags to disrupt and provoke.

I don’t know him personally - I’ve only been here 3.5 years. But lots of folks up here in both Conservative and Libertarian circles know him well. He’s a huge “Back the Blue” guy - paid for some body armor for local PD recently. He’s apparently very active in Conservative pushes.

He’s ahead of his time. He jumped the gun a bit.

So is being a nationalist and white a bad thing?

By definition a nationalist is a patriot and vice versa.

I don’t want anything to do with a person who brakes the law.

The Gestapo thanks you.

Patriot and nationalist are synonyms. I can explain what a synonym is to you if you care to learn.
