Feds Charge D.C. Rioter Who Smoked Joint Inside the Capitol

A New York man caught on camera smoking a joint inside the Capitol building amid the Jan. 6 insurrection has been arrested after several of his co-workers ratted him out to federal authorities.

James Bonet, of Glens Falls, New York, has been charged with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authorities and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds for his role in the siege. Prosecutors allege Bonet, a shift manager in Saratoga Springs, was spotted in several photos and videos participating in the riots, including one selfie video titled, “Smoking at the capital building [sic].”

“Capitol building smoking with all my people!” Bonet says in the video, which shows him smoking pot with several other rioters.

Insurrection is generally not a reaction to getting high. On pot... PCB maybe.

But what can I expect, this district elected national embarrassment Elise Stefanik, one of the two House New Yorkers who remain loyal to Trump!
