Far-Right Activist ‘Baked Alaska’ Arrested After Live Streaming Himself During Capitol Riot
01/17/21 AT 4:41 PM
Far-right activist Tim Gionet, who is also known as “Baked Alaska,” was arrested Saturday in Houston by the FBI.
Gionet’s arrest comes after authorities were able to identify him from his 27-minute live stream video, which he shared on a service called DLive, Reuters reports. The video was later posted to YouTube and Twitter, according to an affidavit filed by FBI Special Agent Nicole Miller.
In the document, Miller noted Gionet “turned the phone around to show his face and is clearly identifiable.” Throughout the video, he could be heard saying, “1776 baby,” and “I won’t leave guys, don’t worry.”
An Arkansas man was charged after FBI agents identified him in videos appearing to beat a police officer with the pole of an American flag during the violent Jan. 6 pro-Trump Capitol riot.

Our initial alert highlighted various hospitality and service industry businesses suing their insurers to recover for losses arising out of closure and stay-at-home (Civil Authority) orders. Since then, thousands more individual and class action coverage actions have been filed seeking business interruption coverage as a result of Covid-19. This article assesses how these new actions have fared thus far.
The class action cases generally allege one of two theories to support claims for business income losses. Many of the class plaintiffs have alleged that the forced closure of business operations by state and local governments (civil authorities) was sufficient to support a claim, without a showing of damage to covered property. Most of these claims have been decided in favor of the insurer defendants, resulting in dismissals of the initial complaints.
Two men accused of joining a mob of Trump supporters that stormed the nation’s Capitol were charged Saturday, the latest arrests in Wednesday’s mayhem.
