Pardoned J6er, 64, says he has ‘no regrets’ about putting his feet up on ‘b*tch’ Pelosi’s desk

by

Richard Barnett was pardoned along with other January 6 participants by President Donald Trump last week but he has “no regrets” over his part in the events that day in 2021.

Speaking with Newsmax host Greg Kelly on Thursday, the 64-year-old expressed that he’s “been through hell” since being charged and sentenced on multiple charges including entering a restricted building with a dangerous weapon and theft of government property. Barnett recounted the events of the day and the infamous picture of him in the office of then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi with his feet up on “the b-tch’s desk.”

“Oh man, what a great time to be alive. You know, I’m so happy I could be a part of it,” Barnett said.

“I’ve had a lot of anger issues to work through. I mean, I’ve been through hell,” he told Kelly. “But I’m telling you what, I wouldn’t give it back for anything.”

At his sentencing hearing, the federal judge on the case had called Barnett a “face of January 6.”

“Now let me take a look at you at that desk, and by the way, this is one of the iconic images of January 6th, and some people are horrified by it,” Kelly said in the interview. “You say you’re glad all of this happened. Tell us why. How did this turn out to be a good thing in the end?”

“Myself and over 1,600 other J6ers showed up that day for Trump because he asked us to be there, and as a point in our country, I’m hoping that that was one of the reasons that the rest of America woke up and saw the corruption and destruction that was happening to our country,” Barnett replied.

“As hard as it’s been, as much as it would have been nice for it not to have happened, it had to happen. You know, I have no regrets,” he continued.

Kelly asked about being charged for stealing an envelope that was on Pelosi’s desk.

“I need to have some conversations with DOGE because that envelope anywhere else would have been about a 10-cent envelope, but apparently because the government bought it it was a $20 envelope. I left 25 cents on the – you might wanna bleep this – I left 25 cents on the b-tch’s desk,” he said.

“You know, basically to pay for that envelope ’cause I had bled on it, and I didn’t feel good about leaving it behind. They made a huge issue out of it,” he continued. “You know, I paid for it, I didn’t know that the government was wasting our money to the point the taxpayers had paid $20 for an empty envelope, you know, but so be it.”

Barnett was sentenced in 2023 to 54 months in prison after being found guilty on eight charges—including four felonies. He was among the more than 1,500 J6ers who were pardoned by Trump soon after he was sworn in as the 47th president.
