WOW: Tantrum-throwing #Capitol breach suspect Richard Barnett & his lawyer just went on Russian state-owned TV.
Reporter asks if he'll do it again
Lawyer cuts Richard off, then Richard goes on a rant about living and dying by the constitution.

Replying to @jsrailton
The man presenting about Richard Barnett?
Dimitry Kiselyov... a Kremlin-favorite known for anti-American rhetoric.
He notoriously warned that Russia could turn America into "radioactive ashes" during a report on the Crimea.
Video: ITN News.

The Russian State-owned TV episode where Barnett appears pushes the narrative #Capitol breach suspects are being treated unfairly.
Where have we heard that before?
It also features some..uh.. claims by Richard & his lawyer that need scrutiny.
