A Florida man who grabbed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s podium and posed for photographs with it during the U.S. Capitol riot has been sentenced to more than two months in prison followed by one year of supervised release
“I bear no ill will toward her or her office at all,” Johnson said.
“That's what we see in banana republics," the judge said. “That's what we see in countries like we're experiencing now over in Ukraine. That's where we're headed if we don't do something to stop it. And I don't know what we do to stop it.” The defense lawyers said Johnson didn't know that the podium belonged to Pelosi when he moved it from a cloak room.
