Poor Donald Trump. What do you do when it looks like you lost the support of a great patriot like Jan 6th insurrectionist and right wing troll Baked Alaska (Anthime Gionet)?

For those who cannot keep track of every right wing political extremist, here is some of the lowdown on Gionet:
Gionet worked at BuzzFeed before he used social media to build an online following in far-right political circles… Gionet became known for posting videos in which he attempts to pull pranks or troll his targets. He also has a history of promoting far-right extremism. He was scheduled to speak at the white nationalist “Unite the Right” rally in 2017 before it erupted in violence on the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia. Mainstream internet platforms, including Twitter, suspended Gionet’s accounts before Jan. 6. At the Capitol, he was livestreaming video using a fringe service called DLive.
As for what was on the video he shot while trying to overthrow the government:
In the livestream, he's heard yelling "patriots are in control" and "whose house? Our house," an FBI agent investigating his involvement said in the records. "The defendant is repeatedly heard encouraging other protestors not to leave," per the records. "Occupy the Capitol let's go. We ain't leaving this bitch," he said. The video, according to the FBI's statement of facts, shows him entering an office within the Capitol building and reclining on a couch while placing his feet up on a table. When law enforcement officers arrive and ask him to move, he claims to be a member of the media and asks for directions. A few minutes later, he begins to verbally attack a law enforcement officer, the records say. "You're a fucking oathbreaker you piece of shit," he told the officer, per the FBI's statement. "You broke your oath to the constitution."
And in case you might think that Gionet is all talk and letting others commit acts of violence, here is another case of Gionet assaulting a bouncer at a bar in AZ:
Last night, Gionet was hauled away by Scottsdale police after pepper-spraying a bouncer. In a clip from one of his livestreams reposted on a far-right Reddit clone, Gionet can be seen getting kicked out of what looks like Giligin's Bar And Shrimp Hut in Old Town Scottsdale. "You're just in here trying to antagonize people," a bouncer says. After a back-and-forth in which Gionet refuses to leave the edge of the property line at the bar's entrance, the bouncer yells at him and then shoves him. Gionet stumbles backward about six feet on the sidewalk. As his companions yell at the bouncer, Gionet pulls out a pouch containing a pepper spray capsule. He removes it, takes a step towards the bouncer and blasts him in the face from around five feet way. After getting hit, the man turns his back. When he tries to turn again, Gionet blasts him a second time. Seemingly unfazed, the bouncer informs Gionet he has committed "chemical assault," while his colleague calls the police.
Gionet had moved to AZ by this time, and he spent his days harassing service employees who were enforcing mask requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic. He was uploading these encounters, when YouTube figured out they better ban him. And this article also mentioned the following:
For those unfamiliar with Gionet, he has previously: tweeted about sending Jewish people to gas chambers, hung out with neo-Nazi blogger Andrew Anglin, and chanted the white supremacist slogan "You will not replace us!" at the Charlottesville torchlight rally.
Gionet pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in the Capitol Building, and he is to be sentenced next year. He also got a 30 day sentence for macing the bouncer in AZ.
Who knows if Gionet will find another so called hero to represent his vile views? But it sounds like he is not a huge Trump fan, at least at this moment in time. Problem is with all those Trump lunatics is they almost always snap back to supporting him in the end. It’s why the rest of us either laugh or roll our eyes when we hear some Trump fanatics bemoan that Trump is full of shit.
Good luck in jail asshole!
