Idiot of the Week: NH Guy Bragged to TV Station He Drank at the Capitol Insurrection- then got Arrested

 When you're an Idiot, there's not much hope for you. Such is the case of this week's idiot, who obviously had to hear that the FBI was actively looking for people involved in the Insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th, and arresting them. This Idiot decided to let people know how proud he was to be drinking a beer in the Capitol during that horrendous day... and well, of course he got arrested. Here's the story.

A New Hampshire man told a local TV station about how he ‘chugged’ wine during the Capitol riot. Then he got arrested.

“I had to see it."


Like many of the people involved in the Jan. 6 breach of the Capitol building, Jason Daniel Riddle wasn’t particularly shy about his role. 

 The 32-year-old Keene, New Hampshire, resident said he followed rioters into the Capitol, found an open bottle of wine inside an office, poured himself a glass, and “chugged it” as he watched the violent mayhem. In an interview several days after the riot, Riddle told NBC10 Boston that he had no regrets. 

 On Monday afternoon, he was arrested by FBI agents. The agency’s Boston division announced that they had taken Riddle into custody with the assistance of local Keene police without incident and charged him with illegal entry, theft of government property, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. No attorney was listed for Riddle in online court documents Tuesday afternoon.
