Miles Adkins, a member of the Frederick County School Board in Virginia, was charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack after he was identified by online sleuths.

An elected member of a Virginia school board — who allegedly bragged about drinking Fireball and Coors Light in the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack and said he was in touch with a member of the far-right Oath Keepers that day — was arrested by federal authorities Tuesday.

Miles Adkins, a member of the Frederick County School Board in Virginia, faces four misdemeanor charges: entering and remaining in a restricted building, disruptive conduct in a restricted building, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building and unlawful picketing in a Capitol building. Court records show that Adkins was scheduled to make his first appearance in a federal courtroom in Charlottesville on Tuesday.

      Sorry… shitty beer and monster trucks are “things poor people like?”

      That sounds like a crazy and weird stereotype.

          And? Are you suggesting that all rednecks are poor or that all poor people are rednecks? Because, as an Indiana resident I can tell you that first one bullshit, and the general lack of black people at Monster Truck shows suggests that second one is also bullshit.
