Alleged Capitol Rioter Gave Himself Away By Yelling ‘Trump 2020’ On Plane | Talking Points Memo

Alleged Capitol rioter John Lolos may have gotten away with it — if only he hadn’t been kicked off of his flight out of D.C. for yelling “Trump 2020!” then caught the eye of a police officer who recognized him from Instagram.

Another one who’s full of stupid.

Meanwhile, back in Arizona…

He did learn from Donnie it’s best to blame someone else for your own fucked up behavior.

Nothing unusual here, just another rightwing moron doing his thing. I assume he has lost his job and maybe even gotten evicted from his mother’s basement.

Remember that Lolos was only able to enter the Capitol illegally because other rioters bludgeoned a police officer to death with a fire extinguisher.

Were some pesky kids involved in cracking this case ? It seems he TOTALLY should have gotten away with it if it wasnt for those pesky kids.

He is actually admitting he is so stupid he got duped by one of the stupidest men in the world. Stupid all the way down.

I agree but the Merrick Garland DOJ will ultimately decide how these cases are prosecuted. I trust they will do the right thing.

“Lolos was a passenger and was disturbing other passengers on the airplane by continuously yelling ‘Trump 2020!’ Due to the continuing disturbance, the flight crew decided to turn the airplane around and go back to the gate to escort Lolos off of the flight,” the affidavit alleged.

An airport police officer witnessed the scene but didn’t arrest Lolos. Instead, Delta simply booked him on another flight

Sorry, but this alone should’ve resulted in his immediate arrest.

And what the hell is wrong with Delta?!

I haven’t seen the man’s photograph, so I’ll ask: Is this just another blatant example of Pink Privilege?

So he regrets trusting Trump would give him a pardon? Not his actions?

“During the video,” according to the affidavit, “Lolos can be seen exiting the U.S. Capitol doorway, wearing the same shirt he was wearing [at] the airport.”

Same shirt two days later…did he even showered?

He sure does now.

Getting arrested was just a bonus.

It was his loud ass getting thrown off the plane that was sweet beyond words.

I’ve had Trumpholes here bitching and crying that nobody will have anything to do with them.

This is why it sets my teeth on edge when I’m told that at least you have to admire somebody’s “passion.” All kinds of perfectly awful people are full of “passion,” and there’s nothing inherently good about it.

“the guy with the horns and the fur,” attorney Al Watkins said the rioter “regrets very, very much” that he was tricked by Trump."

O.M. to the G. I keep hearing the word ‘fuckaloo’ when I read this.

Honors graduate of Trump U. Next he will be saying that he doesn’t know Trump or that he was the coffee boy.

I think being obnoxiously stupid is the tie that binds Trump supporters together. It’s one of Trump’s most salient qualities.

And I’m undecided if the “perfect crime” is killing 400k Americans (and counting) with no consequences other than losing reelection or fomenting an insurrection against the duly elected American government, and being allowed to sit in Florida as if nothing happened.
