NBC10 Boston: “A New Hampshire man facing charges for taking part in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot is now hoping to head back to Washington as a member of Congress. Jason Riddle said he is still working on the details of his campaign for office. ‘I guess, ‘Let’s get back to work,’ that’s going to be the slogan I go with,’ he told NBC10 Boston on Sunday. Riddle, from Keene, admitted in an interview with NBC10 Boston in the days after the attack, which left five people dead, that he entered the Capitol building and chugged from a bottle of wine he found in a Senate office. He provided NBC10 Boston photos and said he had no regrets about joining the mob that entered the Capitol, but criticized those who committed acts of vandalism and violence.”

“Riddle, from Keene, admitted in an interview with NBC10 Boston in the days after the attack, which left five people dead, that he entered the Capitol building and chugged from a bottle of wine he found in a Senate office. He provided NBC10 Boston photos and said he had no regrets about joining the mob that entered the Capitol, but criticized those who committed acts of vandalism and violence. He was arrested by FBI agents, with the help of Keene police, in February. Riddle was charged with knowingly entering a restricted building, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, and theft of government property. But the supporter of former President Donald Trump doesn’t think his riot case will hurt his campaign. In fact, just the opposite. ‘In the long run, if you’re running for office, any attention is good attention, so I think it will help me,’ Riddle said. Riddle told NBC10 Boston Sunday that he’s running against Democrat Annie Kuster in the 2022 midterm elections. Kuster is in her fifth term as a U.S. congresswoman representing New Hampshire’s 2nd district. ‘I thought Ann was a state representative,’ Riddle said in his interview.”
