White nationalist troll
Tim Gionet, also known as Baked Alaska, live-streamed himself from inside the Capitol on the blockchain platform DLive, according to a
report from Insider. An estimated 16,000 people watched the 20-minute livestream. Gionet’s video shows him inside an office, trying to “call the U.S. Senate,” and the livestream also apparently included footage of at least one protestor taking a selfie with Capitol police. Gionet also livestreamed his confrontation with Capitol police as they ejected him from the building. Just two days before the riot, Gionet — seen maskless in his livestream — posted a
video saying he had recently tested positive for coronavirus.
