The end may be near for the freedom of an accused U.S. Capitol insurrectionist known as “Stephen Ignoramus.” Arrested by the FBI on Monday, a man legally named Stephen Maury Baker allegedly broke into the seat of U.S. legislative spouting fire and brimstone.
“I’m Stephen. I’m a live-streamer and a musician. We’re having fun, huh? Repent, and believe in Jesus,” Ignoramus could be seen declaring on his live-stream upon entering the Capitol rotunda.
Approximately 10 minutes later, the suspect said Capitol Police were attempting to herd rioters out of the building.
“Gotta stay away from the cops, man,” Baker allegedly added. “Cops are trying to get us out of here.”

BY LEIGH TAUSS FEB. 01, 2021 2:23 P.M.
A Garner man was arrested Monday by the FBI for storming the Capitol on January 6 during the violent insurrection that left five people dead.
Stephen Maury Baker, of Garner, was charged with trespassing a restricted building and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, according to the FBI. Baker was arrested at his Garner home without incident, the FBI reported.
According to the federal affidavit, Baker, who goes by the alias "Stephen Ignoramus," livestreamed the attack on social media.
The FBI received multiple tips regarding Baker in the days after the attack and footage from his Youtube channel were widely shared.
In the video, which appears to have been deleted, Baker is seen among the mob at an unspecified entrance to the Capitol. He is seen breaking into the building with others in the crowd. About a minute into the video the stream is cut off and Baker says "I can't go in the chamber, my stream drops."

ATTENDED SURVIVALIST CAMP, CO-WORKER SAID
Last week, a story by The Daily Beast about Baker said he has been living in Washington, D.C., not North Carolina, and working as a “beloved” music teacher.
Several years ago he attended a survivalist camp in the Virginia mountains, then started his YouTube channel and began promoting racist, anti-Semitic and conspiratorial theories online, a co-worker said, according to the Daily Beast.
It also reported that one of his now-deleted YouTube videos from before the Capitol attack features Baker telling the audience: “Even if you were a Martian coming down you can see that there is anti-white, anti-Christian, anti-straight (expletive) going on, regardless of who you are.”
According to the FBI’s criminal complaint against Baker, he seemed to be familiar with far-right militias, including groups called the Oath Keepers and the Red Elephants.
