HA!: Capitol Suspect's Ex Turns Him In After He Calls Her A 'Moron' For Doubting Election Fraud
Pennsylvania man Richard Michetti apparently sent his ex-girlfriend text messages and two videos from inside the Capitol.
A Donald Trump supporter charged with allegedly breaching the Capitol during last month’s insurrection was turned in by his ex-girlfriend after federal officials say he texted that she was a “moron” if she couldn’t “see the election was stolen.”
Pennsylvania resident Richard Michetti is now facing charges of knowingly entering a restricted building, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, and obstruction of justice and Congress, according to a Feb. 17 criminal complaint against him.
The day after the insurrection, Michetti’s unidentified ex-girlfriend informed law enforcement of several text messages and two videos that he had apparently sent her from inside the Capitol, according to an FBI statement of fact submitted in court.
Michetti repeated conspiracy theories about the election, talked about the chaos inside the Capitol — and insulted his ex, according to the court records.
“If you can’t see the election was stolen you’re a moron,” Michetti reportedly texted her late in the afternoon of Jan. 6.
Later, he fantasized: “The election was rigged and everyone knows it” ... and “gotta stop the vote.”
