The accused Capitol rioter who put his feet up on Nancy Pelosi's desk did an interview with Russian state TV

An accused Capitol rioter who was pictured with his foot on Nancy Pelosi's desk during the January 6 insurrection did an interview with Russian state TV ahead of a summit between US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Richard Barnett appeared on Russian state TV with his attorney Joseph McBride on Sunday. The interview was first reported on by the Daily Beast.

Rossiya-1 special correspondent Valentin Bogdanov FaceTimed Barnett for the segment, and described Barnett as a "colorful" individual and an "American patriot," according to the Daily Beast.

In his interview, Barnett complained of jail conditions during his brief imprisonment and said that he would fight for the First Amendment.

Putin not only has the Orange Anus Mouth under his control, but his shit-smeared followers as well. The entire pack of undesirables have confused the words "traitor" and "patriot."

1. Was it in his native language?

Whatever that is.

[TwilightZone]

15. Almost certainly English.

People give Russia way too much credit for people like this. This country is loaded with them and has been for decades. They're just more visible now.

Blanket blaming Russia for everything ignores that the home-grown terrorism problem in this country is nothing new and needs no outside influence to thrive. Never has.

[C_U_L8R]

20. True. Still 100 percent traitor.

[Fullduplexxx]

2. Deplorable

[Me.]

3. Would He Prefer A Russian Prison?

4. I have so many WTF's anymore I've way lost count!!! n/t

[secondwind]

5. Another "colorful" fella.

Putin likes “colorful” Americans…….

6. He Said He "Would Fight For The First Amendment"

I must have slept through that day in History class back in High School.

I had no idea that Insurrection and Storming The Capitol and breaking into offices, was covered by the 1st Amendment.

Learn something new every day.

17. His fellow rioters killed people & tried to hang others. That is not protected by the First. . . nt

[Progressive Jones]

7. He is not a patriot. None of that trash from Jan 6th are patriots. nt

[Comfortably_Numb]

19. This. Trash

[PortTack]

8. Had this idiot been a russian citizen and as much as put his feet up on the steps of the kremlin

He would be dead or languishing in a Russian prison!

Of course he or his attorney are obviously not bright enough to realize this

9. "Russia is our friend" - new republican meme.

"Russia is our friend" - new republican meme.

Used to be: “Better dead than red”

10. Fox hasn't called yet?

I'm sure that soon a lot of these terrorists will be given plenty of amplification on various outlets.

Peace

11. Looks like he would be laying low pre trial and all...

"Moran" he is, (Yoda speak). Could be additional evidence for the prosecution to use in the trial...

[onethatcares]

12. same guy that's begging for defense funds?

f him, let him try that stunt in Russia and then tell us how hard being in jail is.

What a jagoff.

[LakeArenal]

13. Obviously they don't know the meaning of RUSSIA either. Dah, comrade.

[Midnight Writer]

14. His lawyer must be dumber than he is.

[monkeyman1]

21. public defender !!!

[Chainfire]

16. They must be attempting to taint any possible jury in the country.

These people are so goddamn dumb, that they think that they are patriots. Knights in shining armor, Minutemen ready to throw out the oppressive government. They have taken full measure of years of right-wing propaganda where everything is presented upside down and backwards.

I hope he enjoys his time in prison; maybe Nancy will come visit him or send a few coins to his canteen fund.

18. Ethel and Julius were born 70 years too soon

They would have worked in the Trump administration and been rewarded for their betrayal but for a few decades in between.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. Perhaps your obscure post is referring to the Rosenbergs?

[Mr. Ected]

26. Obscure only to those unfamiliar with US history

But yes indeed, the infamous couple that was electrocuted by the State for their transgressions.

Different time, same enemy, different results.

22. .......The Man is an Imbecile....

[Takket]

23. the first amendment doesn't give you the right to participate in an insurrection,

break into the office of the Speaker of the House, and damage that person's property.

That probably goes without saying here on DU but... just thought I'd throw that out there

[Turbineguy]

24. How dumb can somebody get?
