Man Who Had His Feet on Desk in Pelosi’s Office Has ‘Tantrum’ During Court Hearing: It Is Not ‘Fair’

The man who was photographed with his feet on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) desk was arrested and now he is throwing a “tantrum,” as The New York Times reports.

The Arkansas man, Richard Barnett, was arrested after he had his feet on the desk in Pelosi’s office during the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6.

He was charged for breaking into Pelosi’s office and stealing her mail during the insurrection.

Earlier this month, Barnett plead not guilty to several charges, according to The Hill.

During a virtual court hearing on Thursday, Barnett, 60, threw a tantrum, according to the Times. He reportedly yelled at the judge and his lawyers, claiming it was not “fair” that he is still in jail while others were released.

After the judge set the next court date for May, Barnett said he did not want to be in jail for “another month.”

“They’re dragging this out!” he reportedly yelled. “They’re letting everybody else out!”

After a brief recess, the judge said “he would consider a new motion for release if and when Mr. Barnett’s lawyers filed one,” the Times reports.
