Far-right media personality Tim Gionet, who calls himself “Baked Alaska,” has been arrested by the FBI for his involvement in the riot at the U.S. Capitol

01/16/2021 01:29 PM EST, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.

Gionet was arrested by federal agents in Houston on Saturday, according to the official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter before the public release of a criminal complaint and spoke on condition of anonymity. Thousands of supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 as Congress was meeting to vote to affirm President-elect Joe Biden’s electoral win. Five people died in the mayhem.

Law enforcement officials across the country have been working to locate and arrest suspects who committed federal crimes and so far have brought nearly 100 cases in federal court and the District of Columbia Superior Court. Gionet posted video that showed Trump supporters in “Make America Great Again” and “God Bless Trump” hats milling around and taking selfies with officers in the Capitol who calmly asked them to leave the premises. The Trump supporters talked among themselves, laughed, and told the officers and each other: “This is only the beginning.”

AmberAx5050fox Glad he did not pick my state to tag with his nonsense - we have it bad enough here just being associated with our GOP elected officials. SouthCarolina (Yes LadyG I am looking at you).

The clowns climbing the wall are not spontaneous actors. My wife was at the protest and was spooked at the folks in tactical gear. The climbers are some organized group who were 'called forward' during the riot. She heard the command. Folks, these are terrorists!

The guys in prison are just going to love Baked Alaska‘s soft creamy center

BUT iT wAs AnTIfA

Smh his butt really is baked now. It’s crazy to put your life on the line for someone who likes there ego stroked. Now look l hope Trump pays everyone lawyer fees 🤣🤣

Keep them coming.

So it's now Booked Alaska?

Well well well, with FBI offices right around the corner of the capitol, we're happy they are slowly waking up, arresting folks.

Lock that f*cker up

Baked Alaska hard shell on the out side but brake it soft on the inside.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer person 😂😂😂

This riot started before Trump started to even speak and not one fake news outlet stated TRUMP said go Peaceful and PATRIOTICALLY have your VOICES heard...that is the TRUTH...no news but Fox is reporting ON

Uh huh. Uh huh. Calls himself what?

Baked Alaska? Jesus

I’m a Republican but who the fuck is that? Some no-name that you’re trying to give credit to because he was arrested

More like half-baked!

You love to see it.

Right-wing tabloid press like FoxNews continues to spread lies and unproven conspiracy theories which incite violence by white nationalists. Their biggest sponsors include: Nutrisystem LibertyMutual SandalsResorts SleepNumber GEICO
