An Arkansas man who was photographed on Jan. 6, 2021, with his feet on a desk in then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office took the witness stand at his criminal trial Thursday and said he regretted his actions during the attack on the Capitol.
“I shouldn’t have put my feet on the desk,” Richard “Bigo” Barnett told jurors as he testified in his own defense on riot-related felony charges. “At the time I thought it was funny,” he said, but now it just seems “crass.”
