Heritage Foundation staffer was stopped from entering a Senate office building after authorities say they found ammunition and suspected drugs in his briefcase.
Matthew Christopher Wingate was detained by Capitol Police on July 14 after allegedly attempting to pass through security at the Russell Senate Office Building.
According to court records obtained by NOTUS, an X-ray scan of his bag revealed what appeared to be a pistol magazine, prompting officers to carry out a further search.
Hunter Biden (someone holding no office or officia position) might have drugs? The media loses their mind. But, a MAGAt gets found with drugs and ammo in the Capitol? Hardly a whisper

Classic dumbass behavior, you gotta only break one law at a time.
And why tf would you keep your drugs and ammo together? Are you trying to get a sentencing enhancement?

These guys are all white, or they think they’re white (see Kash Patel), so why would those laws apply to them?

Laws are supposed to protect but not bind these assholes.

Of course the drugs that a MAGA gets caught with are cocaine and fentanyl.

Only a heritage foundation employee would be bold enough to attempt to smuggle contraband into one of the most secured buildings on earth.
“Bold” being a very loose interpretation of said person.
