Richard Barnett, the Capitol rioter photographed with his feet on a desk in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office, received a $9,300 forgivable loan under the Paycheck Protection Program last April, records show.

An independent glass and glazing contractor in Gravette, Arkansas, Barnett was an early participant in the federal program that aimed to help small businesses survive COVID-related shutdowns and continue paying their employees. In his PPP application, Barnett, 60, said the loan would preserve one job, presumably his own, and was based on total payroll costs of $44,640 at his enterprise.

Barnett did not mention receiving government assistance when he bragged to The New York Times about breaking into Pelosi's office and leaving her a nasty note.

Efforts to reach Barnett were unsuccessful.

[spurraider21]

not gonna hate. that guy owns his own labor. true socialist.

[Spurminator]

I mean it's entirely possible that it's a side hustle and I certainly wouldn't stick my nose up to someone making an extra $44K a year on the side.

But this is a guy who traveled for a DC rally on a Wednesday so I'm guessing that doesn't apply to him.

Would think it's not a good idea to stick around after participating in a failed coup. Most places you'd be in front of a firing squad for that.

Plus he'll get a much more friendly jury back home than in DC.

Be pretty ridiculous if they prosecuted him in AR, should be able to extradite him to DC.
