FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. Richard Barnett, the man from Northwest Arkansas at the center of a viral photo in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi s office during a riot at the Capitol, appeared in federal court in Arkansas Tuesday.
Along with several other rioters, Barnett shocked the world when he stormed the U.S. Capitol last week while Congress voted to certify the electoral votes for President-elect Joe Biden. The scene has caused many people to blame President Trump and his cabinet for false claims that the election was stolen for him.
Michigan s slate of 16 presidential electors unanimously voted Monday at the Capitol building in Lansing for President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris.Â
The vote was announced by Democratic Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist II, who presided over a scaled-back, socially distanced Electoral College ceremony inside the Michigan Senate chambers. Also in attendance were Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Attorney General Dana Nessel, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, and Bridget McCormack, chief justice of the Michigan Supreme Court.Â
The Capitol was closed to the public for coronavirus restrictions. The Michigan House and Senate also closed their downtown Lansing offices because of credible threats of violence. Electors and others were escorted to the Statehouse by state police.Â
