Richard Morris Barnett, called Bigo, wrote a message on Facebook on January 2, 2021.

He addresses it to a woman he despises, even more than any of the other politicians in Washington.

He writes: “I am white.

No doubt about it.

I am a nationalist.

I put my nation first.

So I'm a white nationalist. ”Whoever isn't, should the damned get out of this nation.

Barnett puts his message online.

Then he is on his way.

It's a good thousand miles by car from Gravette, Arkansas, population 3,610, to Washington, DC 1,852 kilometers from the Gravette sign.

The Heart of Hometown America "to the capital of the nation with its capitol dome, which is visible from afar, the" cathedral of this temple of democracy ".

With these words, two days later, describes the Capitol on January 4th, the same woman who infuriates Richard "Bigo" Barnett: Nancy Pelosi, the newly elected majority leader in the House of Representatives.

A Democrat and, according to the constitution, the second person to succeed the President.
