Idaho man who bragged he was first person to sit in Nancy Pelosi’s chair during 6 January riot...

A 34-year-old man from Idaho has become the latest Capitol rioter to plead guilty after admitting that he thought he had sat in Nancy Pelosi’s chair on 6 January.

Josiah B Colt told a court on Wednesday that an image of him sitting in the chair of the presiding officer in the Senate – and what he mistakenly believed to be Ms Pelosi’s chair – “looks worse than it is” when “taken out of context”, according to The Washington Post.

Ms Pelosi’s chair, as speaker of the House, is in the House chamber.

US District Judge Thomas F Hogan, who read from Colt’s statement of facts, told him: “You not only got into the Senate gallery, but you sat in the presiding officer’s chair, which you mistakenly thought was Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi’s chair, is that an accurate summary?”
