Twitter Considers Banning The @LibsofTikTok Troll!

The dangers of online extremists.

The Twitter culture warriors.

I believe conservatives and far-right extremists need Twitter. They can't argue with progressives on Gab, Parler, Rumble, Truth Social and chatter boards that support their causes. 

The progressives do not use these platforms. 

They need Twitter to reply to those who say something that pisses them off. They want to argue online and make stupid gifs and blame everyone for the world's problems.

Conservatives love trolling. It's the only way for them to win the Midterms.

They have no solutions to gas prices, inflation, gun violence and extremism. They only have blame, deflect, pivot and go to distractions to red meat white nationalism.

This Twitter platform is just as bad a TikTok, YouTube and Facebook. They are private companies and want to be open to all discussion. But they're allowing hate to fester their platforms. I thought they were trying to crack down on it. But alas, it's like you can get rid of one and five more pop up.

A white extremist who operates the @libsoftiktok handle on this social media platform has been very active in trolling hate, pearl clutching and gaslighting.

The white extremist has been instrumental in making Republicans pass legislation to "protect children" from the drag queens, two men holding hands and the transgender model. The far-right in a handful of states have passed legislation that bans transgender girls from playing women sports. 

The handle is promoting the "groomers" label to those who identify as LGBTQ.

The discussion for Twitter to finally ban the handle is coming. They have been debating over how to handle this profile. The handle is literally giving out information of venues and it appears that the Proud Boys, Karen Presler and many other extremists are latching on it. 

Of course, Fox too.

The very same folks who believe "cancel culture" is against them are trying to stop Americans who just want to be themselves, love their partners, enjoy their lives without hatred of them. 

This month is marks the sixth year of the deadly massacre at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando. 

49 people were killed by a terrorist who stormed the club. This happened around the 2016 election and it did not lead to Hillary Clinton becoming the president. It led to a former celebrity to become the 45th president. He left a huge mess for the 46th president and of course the impatient extremists are complaining things aren't back to normal.

It seems like the Department of Homeland Security had warned that online chatter will lead to extremist threats.

The Patriot Front had came to Coeur D'Alene, Idaho to attack a pride event.

A bunch of Proud Boys came to a Bay Area area library to harass a drag queen reading a story to children.

It is done by a white woman who pearl clutches and spreads propaganda.

The extremist, Karen Raichik has had her share of death threats and public shaming. The account she operates has been subject to suspensions and threats of permanent removal.

Which culture war issue has the Republican Party and far right extremists exploited the most?
Gun violence
Inflation
LGBTQ issues
COVID 19
Racism
Cancel Culture
Abortion
Created with Poll Maker

The account was created in November 2020 as a personal account with the handle @shaya69830552, and later @shaya_ray. Before becoming the Libs of TikTok account, Raichik downplayed the severity of COVID-19, promoted the conspiracy theory that the 2020 United States presidential election was stolen from Washed Up 45 through election fraud, and made posts showing that Raichik was present at the 2021 United States Capitol attack. Raichik criticized the law enforcement officers at the Capitol, tweeting "They were rubber bullets from law enforcement. 1 hit right next to me." 

Raichik also tweeted that she did not enter the Capitol building like "a few crazy people" had and called the breach "mostly peaceful." Raichik later downplayed the attack, claiming it was peaceful compared to a "BLM protest." The handle was later changed to @cuomomustgo, focusing on demanding the resignation of the then-Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo. The account also promoted efforts to recall the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom. By March 2021, the handle had changed to @houseplantpotus, a parody account tweeting as a houseplant in the White House mocking President Joe Biden. @houseplantpotus later became @libsoftiktok on April 19, 2021, promising to "help you find your daily dose of cringe."

Karen Dillon, CEO of conservative Christian satire website The Babylon Bee, announced a partnership with Libs of TikTok.

Moron Musk has liked one of Libs of TikTok's tweets.

Prior to being revealed as the account creator, Raichik was interviewed anonymously on several occasions, during which she boasted that posts from the account led to the firings of several teachers. Raichik encouraged followers to join local school boards in order to remove teachers who teach about gender and sexuality.

Jennifer Hudson On An EGOT Mountain!

Jennifer Hudson won a Tony. She has now a Tony along with her Emmy, Grammy and Oscar.

She came a long way from American Idol. The entertainer never became an American Idol but ended up becoming one of the few who won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and now a Tony.

Jennifer Hudson has achieved the rarified status of EGOT with her Tony win for producing “A Strange Loop.”

The awards gauntlet lingo of “EGOT” refers to individuals who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony over the course of their careers in entertainment. Notable figures who have netted wins across all four awards bodies include Rita Moreno, Alan Menken, Andrew Lloyd Webber, John Legend, Mike Nichols, Mel Brooks and Whoopi Goldberg.

Only 16 individuals in history had achieved an EGOT in competitive categories ahead of tonight’s Tony Awards. Now, Hudson is the 17th.


Hudson took the first steps to achieving EGOT with her Oscar win in the category of best supporting actress for her performance in 2006’s “Dreamgirls.” Since then, Hudson has netted two performing Grammys — one for best musical theater album for “The Color Purple” in 2017 and another for best R&B album for her self-titled album in 2009 — as well as a Daytime Emmy for executing producing the VR-animated film “Baba Yaga.”

Coincidentally, this year’s ceremony for the 75th Tony Awards was hosted by a fellow supporting actress Oscar winner in Ariana DeBose, who took home the award this year for her performance in Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story.”

“A Strange Loop” entered into Sunday evening’s awards ceremony as an awards darling, gathering momentum from rave reviews and a passionate fanbase. Michael R. Jackson’s Pulitzer-winner led the field, netting 11 nominations across all categories, including in L Morgan Lee for best featured actress in a musical, making Lee the first transgender individual to be nominated for a Tony.

The Committee On Jan. 6 Continues!

The deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol is a horrific moment in history.

At 10am, the House Select Committee on the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol continues.

All networks (except Fox) will cover this.

On Thursday, over 20 million Americans watched the first day of the committee hearing. The hearing displayed the deadly encounter inspired by Washed Up 45's rhetoric. The former president and his allies including that far-right cable network Fox had misled Americans into believing the former president won the election.

On day 2, the committee will get to the roots of the deadly encounter. They will introduce more evidence of how the former president, Fox and Republican lawmakers all took part in scheming a plot to overturn an election.

They will discuss the former president engaging with a handful of extremists in a closed door gathering and it alerted White House staffers.

The committee hearing will discuss how Washed Up 45's criminal attempt to overturn the election.

The tweet that inspired thousands to attend the "Stop The Steal" rally was the beginning of a deadly day and disgraceful moment in American history.

On Jan. 6, 2021, the Congress was conducting the counting and certification of the Electoral College. 

Washed Up 45, Republican lawmakers and far-right extremists whipped up a crowd of his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol. The former president withheld help for nearly three hours. He watched the whole event on television and said that his former vice president who was in fear of his life deserved it for not overturning the election.

The committee will display violent and disturbing language. Take discretion in viewing.

Deal Reached! But Will It Pass With GOP Obstruction?

A deal is reached but will it pass?

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Sen. Karen Cornyn (R-TX) have come to a deal on how to deal with gun violence. It's not a full reform of banning those damn assault weapons but it is a small step. This deal will likely raise the age of purchasing assault weapons at the age of 21. Then of course, they will put funds to mental health (not combating domestic terrorism or political motivated violence). They will call for incentives if the states decide to pass red flag laws.

President Joe Biden praised the idea but is cautiously optimistic that the Senate can pass the bill.

After mass shootings in Uvalde, Texas and Buffalo, New York, the calls have grown. Gun violence has not stopped and the pressure is on for these lawmakers (I meant Republicans) to hear the calls for reform.

“Today, we are announcing a commonsense, bipartisan proposal to protect America’s children, keep our schools safe, and reduce the threat of violence across our country," Murphy, Cornyn and other senators involved in the talks said in a joint statement. "Families are scared, and it is our duty to come together and get something done that will help restore their sense of safety and security in their communities."

Unlike the series of gun bills authored by Democrats that passed the House last week, the Senate deal has a better chance of becoming law because it has support from key Republicans, who wield effective veto power over gun legislation in the Senate because of the 60-vote filibuster rule. The joint statement backing the deal was signed by 10 Democrats and 10 Republicans.

A centerpiece of the Senate deal is to provide substantial resources for states to implement "red flag" laws, which allow individuals like police or family members to petition courts to keep firearms away from people deemed a risk to themselves or others.

Currently, 19 states and the District of Columbia have red flag laws on the books. The new provisions are aimed at increasing that number and improving their implementation.

The agreement also establishes a more rigorous process for background checks on people between 18 and 21 years old, with an enhanced review that includes contacting state and local law enforcement for criminal records that could be disqualifying, and to appropriate state organizations for mental health information that could affect the decision.

The proposal also seeks to clarify ambiguities over who must register as a federally licensed firearm dealer for the purposes of conducting background checks.

A deal between two opposing lawmakers.

“Our plan increases needed mental health resources, improves school safety and support for students, and helps ensure dangerous criminals and those who are adjudicated as mentally ill can’t purchase weapons,” the senators said. “Most importantly, our plan saves lives while also protecting the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans. We look forward to earning broad, bipartisan support and passing our commonsense proposal into law.”

It slaps new penalties on "straw purchasing" of firearms to improve prosecution of traffickers. And it authorizes new money for mental health services and school safety provisions.

The agreement would also include a provision to address the so-called boyfriend loophole on domestic violence, sources familiar with the negotiations said.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said he's "pleased that, for the first time in nearly 30 years, Congress is on the path to take meaningful action to address gun violence."

"After an unrelenting wave of gun-related suicides and homicides, including mass shootings, the Senate is poised to act on commonsense reforms to protect Americans where they live, where they shop, and where they learn," he said in a statement. "We must move swiftly to advance this legislation because if a single life can be saved it is worth the effort.”

NHL Fan Found Himself In The Digital Dash!

Asshole served a hot plate to a NHL fan.

James Anastasio found himself a pariah among New York state. He saw a digital dash when he served a hot plate on a hockey fan after a game. The idiot was a fan of the now eliminated New York Rangers, the NHL Team that plays at Madison Square Garden.

The Tampa Bay Lightning advances to the Stanley Cup finals. They will face off against the Colorado Avalanche for the championship.

Well on Thursday, the agitated Anastasio served a hot plate to a man in an unprovoked attack. He literally put the man in a coma. The victim did survive the attack.

“Last night, an abhorrent assault took place against a Tampa Bay fan at the conclusion of the game — followed by a second assault against an individual who bravely intervened,” MSG said in the statement, per the New York Post. “We are cooperating fully with law enforcement as this is now a criminal matter. The assailant will also be banned from The Garden and all other MSG venues for life.”

He also punched a good Samaritan who tried to stop him from leaving the scene, police and stadium officials said.

Pretty stupid.

Both he and the good Samaritan were treated by Madison Square Garden’s guest services team, stadium spokeswoman Natalie Ravitz told The New York Daily News. The two didn’t require further medical care.

“Last night, an abhorrent assault took place against a Tampa Bay fan at the conclusion of the game — followed by a second assault against an individual who bravely intervened,” Ravitz said.

The suspect faced a judge on Friday.

His father condemned the idiot's actions. He believes his son's actions were because he was intoxicated but stressed that he hopes the victim will survive the trauma.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. In the state of New York, battery or felonious assault could put this idiot in the iron college for up to three years.

The Law Drags The Patriot Front By The Neck!

A bunch of men stuffed in a U-Haul truck were planning on attacking an LGBTQ event.

The Department of Homeland Security said that far-right extremism sparked by Washed Up 45's allies, the economy, culture wars and frustrations with politics have driven Americans to commit acts of terrorism.

The white nationalist group, The Patriot Front was trying to start a riot at a LGBTQ Pride rally in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. These moron white extremists were packed inside a U-Haul truck when a person tipped off the law.

They were attempting to infiltrate a pride event and cause a riot. The suspects are facing state charges and will be under federal watch. Those involved are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

"It is clear to us, based on the gear the individuals had with them ... along with paperwork that we seized from them, that they came to riot downtown," Coeur d'Alene Police Chief Lee White said Saturday at a press conference.

According to White, police were alerted about the U-Haul around 1:38 p.m. by a concerned citizen who said they saw members of the group getting into the back of the truck. The group was confronted by police about 10 minutes later, White said.

The men were seen in videos posted to social media all wearing khakis, navy blue shirts, beige hats, and cloth facial coverings. The outfit is similar to what is worn by Patriot Front, which the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as a white supremacist group. White said at least one of the men had an arm patch that said "Patriot Front," and others had hats with logos "consistent" with those used by the group.

Police also found shields inside the U-Haul and at least one smoke grenade, White said.

See something, say something. The tips led to a major arrest of dangerous extremist.

All 31 men are being charged with conspiracy to riot, a misdemeanor, and further charges "might be pending," White said. 

"In my opinion, I would gladly arrest 31 individuals who are coming to riot in our city for a misdemeanor, rather than have them participate in some sort of seriously disruptive event, which is exactly what they were planning in the downtown area," White said. 

White also said the group wasn't just planning to cause a disruption at a nearby park, where a pride event was being held, but that police had information that indicated they would attempt to riot in other areas as well. 

He did not go into detail about the paperwork that police recovered from the group, but said it "appeared to be very similar to an operations plan that a police or military group would put together for an event." 

White said the men came from several different states. They apparently all met up in the parking lot of a hotel, where they loaded themselves into the U-Haul.

Sweet Death!

Two contractors fell in a chocolate tank.

Did you know that being trapped in a storage tank can be deadly?

Especially if its grain, soybeans, oil and chocolate. You can literally suffocate inside storage tanks.

Emergency crews had to rescue two contractors from a chocolate storage tank in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania.

It happened at a Wrigley Mars processing factory. The two contractors would have suffocated if it wasn't for the workers noticing their screams. The emergency crews had to cut a hole into to storage tank to rescue them.

The two people work for an outside contracting firm, officials said, and it’s not clear how they fell into the tank. Emergency responders were able to free the pair by cutting a hole in the bottom of the tank, officials said.

Two contract workers from Manheim-based I.K. Stoltzfus Service Corporation had been doing maintenance on the tank and were unable to get out on their own.

There was chocolate in the tank, but it's not clear how much.

Emergency medical services said the circumstances were potentially dangerous.

"It could have been a life-threatening situation, just based on what needed to be done to get them out," said Edna Kline, with Northwest EMS.

The workers were rescued and taken to a hospital. There is no word on their conditions.

It wasn’t clear if either person was injured, but they were taken to hospitals to be evaluated. Their names and further details on their conditions were not disclosed.

The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the incident. An OSHA official declined comment on the matter, citing the ongoing investigation.

We March For Our Lives And Y'All Still Ain't Listening!

Will marching and demands for change ever make lawmakers change their minds?

In the wake of multiple mass shootings at schools, malls, community centers and various events, young people are calling upon Congress (I mean Republicans) to stop pivoting and distracting. They want gun reform passed this year or face reprecusions.

Activist David Hogg is frustrated with delays from Congress (I mean Republicans in the Senate and two Democratic senators not willing to end the filibuster).

He is now chanting, "This Time It's Different!"

There has been school walkouts, protests at lawmakers and Supreme Court justices' homes. There's been heckling at President Joe Biden. They cried to Vice President Kamala Harris. They followed Obstructionist leader Karen McConnell (R-KY) when he is out and about in Louisville. 

They pestered Sen. Karen Murkowski (R-AK), Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ), Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Karen Collins (R-ME) while at events. 

They are saying "enough is enough."

Thousands of people streamed to the National Mall for the highest-profile of countrywide demonstrations Saturday marking a renewed push for gun control after recent mass shootings from Uvalde, Texas, to Buffalo, New York, that activists say should compel Congress to act.

Organizers hoped the second March for Our Lives rally would draw as many as 50,000 people to the Washington Monument. While that would be far less than the original 2018 march that filled downtown Washington with more than 200,000 people, they decided to focus this time on smaller marches at an estimated 300 locations.

Despite rain in the nation’s capital, scores turned out on the monument grounds well before the rally began, holding up signs, including one that said “Children aren’t replaceable, senators are. Vote.” A middle school-age girl carried a sign that said, “I want to feel safe at school.”

“We want to make sure that this work is happening across the country,” said Daud Mumin, co-chairman of the march’s board of directors and a recent graduate of Westminster College in Salt Lake City. “This work is not just about D.C., it’s not just about senators.”

The first march was spurred by the Feb. 14, 2018, killings of 14 students and three staff members by a former student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. That massacre sparked the creation of the youth-led March For Our Lives movement, which successfully pressured the Republican-dominated Florida state government to enact sweeping gun control reforms.

Gun violence survivor David Hogg is also registering voters at these rallies.

The Parkland students then took aim at gun laws in other states and nationally, launching March for Our Lives and holding the big rally in Washington on March 24, 2018.

The group did not match the Florida results at the national level, but has persisted in advocating for gun restrictions since then, as well as participating in voter registration drives.

Now, with another string of mass shootings bringing gun control back into the national conversation, organizers of this weekend’s events say the time is right to renew their push for a national overhaul.

“Right now we are angry,” said Mariah Cooley, a March For Our Lives board member and a senior at Washington’s Howard University. “This will be a demonstration to show that us as Americans, we’re not stopping anytime soon until Congress does their jobs. And if not, we’ll be voting them out.”

The protest comes at a time of renewed political activity on guns and a crucial moment for possible action in Congress.

Shannon Watts has called upon gun violence victims to register to vote.

Survivors of mass shootings and other incidents of gun violence have lobbied legislators and testified on Capitol Hill this week. Among them was Miah Cerrillo, an 11-year-old girl who survived the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. She described for lawmakers how she covered herself with a dead classmate’s blood to avoid being shot.

On Tuesday, actor Matthew McConaughey appeared in the White House briefing room to press for gun legislation and made highly personal remarks about the violence in his hometown of Uvalde.

The House has passed bills that would raise the age limit to buy semi-automatic weapons and establish federal “red flag” laws. But such initiatives have traditionally stalled or been heavily watered down in the Senate. Democratic and Republican senators had hoped to reach agreement this week on a framework for addressing the issue and talked Friday, but they had not announced an accord.

Mumin said the goal is to send a message to lawmakers that public opinion on gun control is shifting under their feet. ”If they’re not on our side, there are going to be consequences — voting them out of office and making their lives a living hell when they’re in office,” he said.

The call number to the U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official phone number, 202-224-3121. Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.

Cop Served In The Killing Of Patrick Lyoya!

Cop charged with murder of Patrick Lyoya.

Patrick Lyoya, a refugee from the Democratic Republic of the Congo living and working in the city of Grand Rapids, Michigan was shot by a cop after a routine traffic stop turned into deadly encounter.

The cop who shot him is facing a second-degree murder charge and if found guilty, he could face LIFE in the iron college with a small possibility of graduation within a period determined. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

The dirty cop is Christopher Schurr. He worked for the Grand Rapids Police for at least seven years. He was considered a strict by the book type. He was easily angered with some questioning his temperament being suitable as a member of the Grand Rapids Police Department.

He was iced after the investigation determined that his traffic stop was unjustified. Oh, hell fucking yeah.

This cop shot Patrick in the back of his head with his service weapon. 

Tensions been high in the city. The last time, I can recall talking about Grand Rapids was the police encounter where cops pulled up on Black teenagers guns drawn. This happened more than once in this city. The city population is 203,000.

Cop shot a man in the back of his head.

There's been numerous encounters of police engaging forcible behavior with Black and Brown citizens.

Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker said his office on Thursday filed the charge — the most serious one possible in this case — against Officer Christopher Schurr.

Becker said Schurr turned himself in. Online records showed he was in the Calhoun County jail in Battle Creek, which the Calhoun County sheriff noted was a “common practice” in cases where a defendant works for the jurisdiction in which he was arrested. Arraignment was scheduled for Friday, though Becker didn’t know exactly what time.

Grand Rapids Police Department Chief Eric Winstrom said he was recommending that Schurr be immediately suspended without pay pending termination.

Becker made his decision public in an about 15-minute news conference Thursday afternoon at Michigan State Police Sixth District Headquarters in Walker. He said he told the GRPD chief about it Wednesday.

Becker spoke with the Lyoya family over the phone just minutes before his news conference. The prosecutor said he also sent them a letter, written in their native Swahili, about his decision.

“They said, ‘Thank you.’ It was a very brief phone call,” he said.

A traffic stop turned deadly for Patrick Lyoya.

He thanked the Lyoya family for “their tremendous patience and understanding as this process has developed.” He spoke of the “emotions they must be going through. I deeply appreciate what they’ve done… their calls for peace and calm.”

A first-degree murder charge would have required premeditation, which Becker said didn’t apply in this case. The elements of second-degree murder require that there was a death, that the death was intentional and that it could not be justified by self-defense. If convicted, Schurr, 31, of Grandville, faces up to life in prison with the possibility of parole.

“I wouldn’t charge if I didn’t think I could prove it,” Becker said.

Becker said his office eyed a lesser manslaughter charge, which a jury could consider. He said manslaughter would have called for a “heat of passion” element that he didn’t see in the case. 

Manslaughter would be punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

The call number to the U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official phone number, 202-224-3121. Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence.

"Softball" Hannity Softball!

Softball Hannity was the star of Jan. 6 Committee.

The Jan. 6 Committee hearing was watched on most mainstream and cable networks expect Fox. The network covered it only to trash the committee, blame House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and complain about crime in Democratic-leaning cities.

Softball Hannity, the most annoying media personality in the fucking world was mentioned by House Select Committee member, Rep. Karen Cheney (R-WY). She and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) detailed never before seen footage and evidence that points the finger squarely at Washed Up 45.

In a series of text messages, Softball Hannity and Karen McEneny, former White House press secretary were considering the possibility of the 25th Amendment. Both agitators work for Fox.

In the texts, Hannity recaps just a few points of a broader communications plan for responding to the attack, among other pieces of advice.

“1- No more stolen election talk,” Hannity reportedly texted McEnany, who herself sat down with committee investigators last week after being subpoenaed.

Per the letter, he continued, “2- Yes, impeachment and the 25th amendment are real and many people will quit…”

This is not a game.

McEnany reportedly responded “Love that. Thank you. That is the playbook. I will help reinforce…,” though it is unclear what else she may have said.

In another partial exchange relayed by the committee, Hannity said it was “key” to keep the Washed Up 45 away from certain people, writing, “No more crazy people,” to which McEnany responded, “Yes, 100%.”

Fox did not immediately respond to request for comment, nor did an attorney for Hannity.

The committee earlier this month asked Hannity to voluntarily sit down with the committee, a similar outreach to the request for cooperation made to Washed Up Ivanka on Thursday.

Hannity’s texts have surfaced at various points in the committee’s investigation, including those he sent to then-White House chief of staff Karen Meadows during the attack, in which Hannity pleaded for Meadows to have the Washed Up 45 intervene in the unfolding event, as well as other messages dealing with strategy.

The letter the panel sent to the Fox News host also indicated he spoke to the former president around Jan. 10, looking ahead to Biden’s inauguration.

“Guys, we have a clear path to land the plane in 9 days. He can’t mention the election again. Ever. I did not have a good call with him today. And worse, I’m not sure what is left to do or say, and I don’t like not knowing if it’s truly understood. Ideas?” Hannity wrote, per the panel.

Feds Arrest GOP Candidate Involved In Jan. 6!

Republican candidate for governor arrested.

It seems like you can't get away with a criminal act, unless you're rich and powerful.

Many of these idiots who stormed the U.S. Capitol are not rich or well established.

Some can't afford the bill they'll be getting after ransacking the Capitol, attacking police and destroying valuable artifacts totaling over $1 billion.

The Republican candidate for governor in Michigan was arrested by the FBI on Thursday and charged with misdemeanors for his role in the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, the agency said.

Federal agents raided Karen Kelley's home in Allendale, Michigan, on Thursday morning. NBC News received a tip about the raid, which was confirmed by a law enforcement official.

An FBI spokesperson later confirmed that a search warrant was executed at the home where Kelley, 40, was arrested. He faces four charges related to his alleged actions at the Capitol, including disorderly conduct and willfully injuring or attacking U.S. property, according to the criminal complaint.

The FBI said it had received multiple tips about Kelley's presence at the Capitol on Jan. 6, and a bureau source also identified him as one of the people seen at the siege.

How's the weather?

Kelley in the past has acknowledged having been in Washington for the protests that preceded the deadly riot by supporters of Washed Up 45. But he said he never entered the Capitol.

A local sheriff’s deputy and an Allendale official, who both know Kelley, have identified him in photos from the riot, the FBI said.

A statement from an FBI special agent, released Thursday by Justice Department officials, includes and describes video and other images that indicate Kelley was involved in breaching the Capitol and directing others to participate.

"At approximately 2:20 p.m., Kelley continued to gesture to the crowd, consistently indicating that they should move towards the stairs that led to the entrance of the U.S. Capitol interior spaces," the agent states.

Kelley's arrest comes as the House committee investigating the deadly Jan. 6 riot prepares for its first public hearing Thursday night. And it follows the disqualifications of at least two other leading GOP candidates for governor in Michigan, including front-runner Karen Craig, after they turned in allegedly fraudulent signatures to qualify for the August primary.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
