Ryan posted on Twitter: “We just stormed the Capital [sic]. It was one of the best days of my life.”
Far-right media personality Tim Gionet, who calls himself “Baked Alaska”, was also arrested by the FBI for his involvement in the riot at the US Capitol.
Gionet posted video that showed Trump supporters in “Make America Great Again” and “God Bless Trump” hats milling around and taking selfies with officers in the Capitol, who calmly asked them to leave the premises.
The Trump supporters talked among themselves, laughed, and told the officers and each other: “This is only the beginning.”
Later, it emerged that a Missouri woman has been charged with taking a splintered name plate belonging to US house speaker Nancy Pelosi during the riot.
Emily Hernandez, of Sullivan, was charged with with five counts, including disorderly conduct that impedes the conduct of government business and the stealing or disposing of government property.
She had not been arrested as of early Saturday afternoon, according to court documents.
According to the FBI, the agency received online tips from at least three people identifying Hernandez as the person seen in TV news footage holding up up a broken piece of wood engraved with the words “House” and “Nancy” during the January 6 storming of the Capitol.
