Infamous right-wing influencer Baked Alaska, who had previously been banned on YouTube for his controversial views, was sent to prison for joining the rioters at the Capitol on January 6 and live-streaming it.

Baked Alaska, whose real name is Anthime Gionet, will be spending 60 days in prison, as was ruled by U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden. This will be followed by two years of probation, according to the Associated Press. During the trial, he faced a maximum of six months of imprisonment.

Judge McFadden also imposed a $2,000 fine on the influencer and ruled that Gionet must also pay $500 in restitution.

The judge told the former YouTuber, "You did everything you could to publicize your misconduct." 

He added that Anthime Gionet was there to encourage and fully participate in the Capitol insurrection, where a pro-Donald Trump mob invaded and took over the Capitol building in an effort to overturn the election results.

Baked Alaska Says Verdict Is a 'Win' for Him

Gionet pleaded guilty during the trial and was allowed to remain free until he must report to prison. Despite this, he maintains that he did not break any law during the events of January 6 and says he does not regret coming to the Capitol.

After the trial, the right-wing influencer spoke with reporters and said that his sentence was a "win." According to The Guardian, the man known as Baked Alaska also stated that he is also planning to use his time in prison to write a book.

In his statement to the media, he said he is holding firm that he was there because he still believes that the election was stolen. He added that he believes that "people should have a right to speak freely as long as they are being peaceful."

Five people died when pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, with roughly 114 Capitol Police officers sustaining various injuries as they were attacked by the rioters.

Who Is Anthime Gionet A.K.A. Baked Alaska?

Baked Alaska made a name for himself when he worked for Buzzfeed as a commentator. There, he seemed to have leftist ideals and even marched in support of Black Lives Matter. However, everything changed in 2016 when he threw his support for then-candidate Donald J. Trump.

He gained further popularity with the MAGA movement in 2016 with his YouTube channel, where he posted his viral "MAGA Anthem" video that featured pro-Trump lyrics.

2017 saw his views becoming more and more radicalized as he used his platform to promote racist and antisemitic ideologies. He even had a big role in the infamous Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where White Supremacists rallied with "Jews will not replace us!" chants and racist and antisemitic slogans.

He became an extreme online personality, eventually becoming banned from Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube, with the latter banning him for repeated illegal behavior in October 2020.

According to NBC, Baked Alaska made his living by making online videos. However, he was mostly described by the media as a far-right Internet troll.

After his YouTube ban, he began streaming on DLive. This was where he streamed going into the Capitol and capturing the events of the January 6 Capitol Insurrection on video. His livestream was mentioned in other Capitol riot cases where other people have also pleaded guilty.
