Man Who Propped Foot on Pelosi’s Desk During Capitol Riot Sentenced to 4.5 Years in Prison

Richard “Bigo” Barnett, the Arkansas man who was photographed propping his foot on a desk in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office during the January 6th attack on the Capitol, has been sentenced to 4.5 years in prison. Barnett was convicted on eight counts, including civil disorder, obstruction of an official proceeding, and theft of government property, after a trial earlier this year.

During the sentencing hearing, the judge criticized Barnett for not showing any acceptance of responsibility for his actions. The photo of Barnett seated at Pelosi’s desk became one of the most iconic images of the January 6th insurrection, and the judge noted that Barnett’s behavior was not a peaceful protest, but rather a violent and dangerous attack on the Capitol and the democratic process.

Barnett’s sentencing is just one of many in the ongoing investigation into the January 6th Capitol riot. More than 400 people have been charged in connection with the attack. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities have vowed to hold all those responsible accountable for their actions.
