Consequences come

Richard “Bigo” Barnett is a real character. Some would say he’s a “bigo” character. It seems Richard broke into the Capitol and put his “bigo” boots on a desk in Nancy Pelosi‘s office. He claimed he was merely looking for the bathroom, which of course is a “bigo” lie. Sure, he only took that envelope because it was a biohazard due to the blood on it, but then left a bloody quarter to pay for it. Another “bigo” lie.

And just for good measure he wrote her a note calling her a “biotch.” Evidently Richard has a “bigo” spelling problem. Afterwards while being interviewed by the FBI, Richard grinned a “bigo” grin and said he was a smart man. That is the “bigoest” whopper of them all.

Mr. Barnett has some clever lawyers and God knows who’s paying for them. They portray Richard as a redneck “crazy uncle” and that all people from Arkansas act that way when they are in a big city. Being a native Arkansan, I take a “bigo” exception to that (and so does my nephew). I may be an uncle from Arkansas, but I don’t recall ever breaking into the Capitol with a stun gun, yelling at police and putting my “bigo” boots on anyone’s desk.

In my opinion, Richard Barnett is a liar and a phony. If he really believes he was doing his patriotic duty, he would own up to his actions instead of impishly lying and trying to weasel out of his predicament. Lie, pretend, deny, all with a “bigo” smirk on your face. It looks like Richard is heading for a “bigo” jail sentence in a little ol’ cell.

It is easy to be a tough guy running through the Capitol, but not so easy in front of a judge. Good luck and good riddance, fool.
