was sentenced on Tuesday to two months of imprisonment for joining the mob’s attack on the building.
Gionet incriminated himself and other rioters with the video that he streamed to a live audience of roughly 16,000 followers. The 27-minute video showed him encouraging other rioters to stay in the Capitol. Inside an office for Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley, Gionet filmed himself picking up a telephone and pretending to report “a fraudulent election,” parroting former President Donald Trump’s baseless claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him.Gionet joined others in chanting, “Patriots are in control!” and “Whose house? Our house!” Before leaving, he profanely called a Capitol police officer an “oathbreaker.
On Jan. 6, Gionet was a ”professional troll engaged in increasingly provocative and criminal behavior in an apparent effort to drive online engagement and increase his notoriety and earning power,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony Franks said in a court filing.
