A group of far-right Oath Keepers reportedly went to Olive Garden after storming the Capitol
As far as life's simple pleasures go, there's absolutely nothing like post-gaming an insurrection on Capitol Hill with endless soup and salad.
Just ask the group of far-right Oath Keepers who, according to a newly public FBI document (a portion of which was shared on Twitter by Politico's Kyle Cheney), reportedly went to Olive Garden to carbo-load after leaving the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6.
At least they had the foresight to chow down after the fact; the last thing the Capitol riot needed was some Michael Scott-esque rioter sweating out Alfredo sauce in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office.
