The man who stole a lectern from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office on Jan 6th is running as a Republican for public office in Florida, according to our CBS sister station in West Palm Beach WPEC.

41-year-old Adam Johnson became known as "The lectern guy" after he was caught on camera during the incident.

According to WPEC, He later pleaded guilty to entering or remaining in a restricted building and was sentenced to 75 days in prison.

Johnson filed paperwork to run for an at-large county commission seat in Manatee county-Florida.

According to his campaign website, Johnson says he is "Tired of watching MAGA principles get ignored at the local level."

Johnson had served his sentence by the time President Donald Trump pardoned all January 6th defendants on his first day back in office.

Just in case you're wondering whatever happened to him.
Win or lose, he will keep popping in the news as a publicity hound, at least for a little while.

2. In the age of Trump, criminals are celebrated and lifted up

while good moral people who care about their fellow Americans are belittled, mocked, fired from their jobs, and in some cases shot dead in the streets by "law enforcement."

Let's hope this is a trend that doesn't continue for too long before it swings back the other way.
