There are literally dozens of US Capitol Insurrection cases (SO FAR) in which defendants mention.. or appear to threaten.. Nancy Pelosi. Per my review of case filings

THREAD: Let's go through just *some* of them
There's Richard Barnett who was accused of leaving a vulgar note for Pelosi, putting feet on desk in her office suite and taking her mail

Charging documents say Oliver Sarko of Ohio has video from Jan 6 saying, "Bring out Pelosi"

Leonard Ridge of Pennsylvania is accused of saying "America First B***h" upon entering Capitol and using Snapchat to say he raided Nancy Pelosi's office

Richard Harris of Florida is accused of picking up phone in Capitol and saying, "“Can I speak to Pelosi? We’re coming b*** ."

Feds allege Audrey Southard-Rumsey also said "Tell Pelosi we are coming for that b**" before shoving police sgt & pushing him into door w/ flagpole ("felt like he was being trampled")

There's the man accused of taking Pelosi office lectern

And... the woman who was accused of taking a computer from the Pelosi office suite

Oh.. and there's Hunter Palm. Feds say Palm looked at open computer on table in Pelosi offices and said "Who's good at hacking?"

And there are the other cases in which there are allegations of striking, ugly misogynistic language against a female officeholder.

It's a thread connecting so many of these cases
