A man seen gleefully stealing what looks to be House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s podium in a now infamous photo from Wednesday’s Capitol riot has been identified by the Bradenton Herald as Adam Johnson, a father of five. He traveled from Parrish, Florida, to D.C. to join a group of protesters who later stormed the Capitol to oppose a peaceful transfer of presidential power. The 36-year-old was quickly identified from a photo that went viral where he’s seen grinning at the camera. He could face felony charges for destruction of government property. The mob was eventually brought under control by police forces, but not before four people died and dozens were arrested.

Flori-duh man...

[Dream Girl]

1. Flori-duh dad

[SheltieLover]

19. Yup

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Has the podium been recovered?

[Hortensis]

6. Evidence maybe? I saw the picture, they must have 3 dozen

in a storeroom and an open account with whoever makes them. The metal plaque also, but it's at a guess a bit more expensive.

[Bluethroughu]

3. Maybe he should have been at work to feed his family

Now he'll face prison. Wonder if he'll hold up his prison wear with the same smirk. Traitor.

[Irish_Dem]

4. I wonder if some of these people have been receiving money to cause trouble.

Five kids are a lot of mouths to feed.

[Bluethroughu]

12. I agree 100%

[Ms. Toad]

11. His wife is a doctor.

He is a stay-at-home parent to their 5 children.

[Irish_Dem]

16. So he is well off and can afford to play anarchist.

Wonder who was minding the children?
Does his doctor wife agree with all of this?

[Blue_true]

28. My guess is his wife is as bad as he is, she just can't go public with it,

or, she is terrified of him and trapped. One of those two, IMO.

[Irish_Dem]

31. I personally do not want to see a doctor who does not believe in reality or science.

Would not trust them to give me good medical advice.

[Blue_true]

36. She could be that, or she could be married to an abusive jerk.

Will be interesting to find out more about her. With five kids, the couple sound like fundies, who are maybe homeschooling their kids.

[Irish_Dem]

37. Right.

[BigmanPigman]

20. I hope he isn't home schooling his kids.

Can you imagine what he has been telling them all their lives?

Don't blame the public schools for educating the crazies. I taught school and I know the influence crazy parents have on their kids. That is why teachers say, "The nut doesn't fall far from the tree".

[Hassin Bin Sober]

15. I read somewhere his wife is a Doctor.

I also saw a meme that this was Chip Gaines. But that was a joke.

[Blue_true]

30. He did look like Chip. But Chip seems better kept. nt

[SheltieLover]

21. His wife is said to be a doctor

Bet she is just thrilled with him!

[SMC22307]

46. She may be. She may be a true believer in Trumpism...

and applaud her husband's actions. We don't know.

[Cirque du So-What]

5. Why is 'dad' even relevant to this story?

Afraid they’d wear out the phrase ‘Florida man’?

[Bluethroughu]

14. Lol

[SheltieLover]

22. Probably!

[Blue_true]

32. They are giving us a break. I am from Florida.

Believe or not, not all of us are raging assholes or nuts.

[Cirque du So-What]

35. I'm on your side

I despise regional chauvinism, and there’s plenty to go around. I’ve answered many such posts with ‘people who live in glass houses’-type statements.

[Blue_true]

39. Our problem in Florida is that we don't keep enough of our educated young people.

So conservative Cubans (there are lots that are progressive) and retirees that have theirs, and won’t share, dominate the state’s political structure.

[magicarpet]

7. Federal penitentiary daddy......

[pennylane100]

17. Yea, Let us hope so.

[SheltieLover]

23. Yup!

[beachbumbob]

8. Hope his kids love prison visits for about 10 years

[SheltieLover]

24. Some dad, hu?

Great role model. Pos!

[turtleblossom]

9. Teaching his kids to steal?

[SheltieLover]

25. And proud of it!

Pos!

[JohnnyRingo]

10. I wonder if he got it home.

That would be some mean feat.
Walk two miles with it, get on the bus with it, and maybe a flight home.

[SheltieLover]

26. Dunno

Saw post on DU yesterday it had been listed on ebay for $100,000. Post was said to be taken down pretty quickly, but people had been bidding on it!

Have been searching for more info, to no avail thus far.

[JohnnyRingo]

38. That's smart

But par for the course.

[MyOwnPeace]

13. Yesterday we had a post here

that said it had been listed on Ebay for $100,000!!! (but the listing was later pulled).

[SheltieLover]

18. I've been searching for more info since I saw that post!

This Flori-duh man's wife is a doctor! Mind boggling.

Bet she is thrilled with him.

Pos!

[Rorey]

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

33. Probably thought it would look good in his trailer

[SheltieLover]

34. No doubt

Although article says his wife is a doctor.

Bet she is proud of him.

Pos traitor!

[MyOwnPeace]
