[Rhiannon12866]

Rachel Maddow reads the court transcript of a court hearing for Richard Barnett, who was infamously photographed at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's desk during the pro-Trump riots at the Capitol on January 6. Barnett is frustrated at being held in jail when others of the mob that day have been released. Aired on 03/04/2021.

1. Richard doesn't appear to be playing with a full deck.

People like him are easily manipulated by Trump. They don’t have much going for them, so rather than blame themselves, they blame others: black people, immigrants, the “librals”, etc.

3. And with all those outrageous photos, I don't think he's got much of a "defense..."

9. No. He certainly doesn't. It may be early dementia or cerebrovascular disease, but

it may well be that his "stupid" goes even further than an innate lack of intelligence (and perceived-grievance-driven susceptibility to manipulation). Regardless of the cause, though, his inability to control his emotional outbursts and anger makes him dangerous.

2. What's wrong with his hand?

First I thought he injured it breaking in, but the damage looks older than that. Maybe from shooting up drugs? I’ve heard people end up injecting themselves in all sorts of places as their veins become damaged. I don’t know what that would look like but I’ve been stuck in the hand when they couldn’t get me in the arm.

4. He's a special brand of human waste

7. I'm guessing that any juror who sees those photos will feel the same way!

And who hasn't seen those photos by now?!

[SheltieLover]

14. Agreed!

Personally, I would vote for the death penalty, if it were on the table, for this asshole!

8. Either the clip cut her off or Rachel didn't say he had a taser not just feet up on the desk.

[hlthe2b]

10. well, he is facing weapons charges, so presumedly that is the taser...

15. Get used to prison, chump

[magicarpet]

16. Prison ain't so bad there trDumpie chump,....

.... inmates give each other white power, white supremacist, and Nazi tattoos head to toe. The prison environment eventually grows on you, it becomes like home.

Just lay back and let the warmth of federal prison just wash over you.
