Who was among Trump crowd at courthouse? Jan. 6 protester, ‘Islamophobe’ and MAGA rapper

A crowd of supporters of Donald Trump gathered Tuesday outside the federal courthouse in downtown Miami to back the former president ahead of his first court appearance.

Here are some of the notable personalities who showed up at the courthouse:

Anthime Gionet (Baked Alaska)

A convicted Jan. 6 protester was one of the people seen outside the courthouse supporting Trump.

Anthime Joseph Gionet, 35, also known as Baked Alaska, pleaded guilty last year to illegally protesting in the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C., after he was seen live streaming inside on Jan. 6, 2021. On that day, thousands of Trump supporters rioted and broke into the Capitol where Congress was certifying the vote count of the Electoral College of the 2020 presidential election.

Gionet served a 60-day sentence starting Feb. 6 at a federal prison in Miami.

Laura Loomer

Laura Loomer, 30, once described herself on Twitter as a “proud Islamophobe” after a terror attack that killed eight people in Manhattan.

Loomer, who was seen Tuesday outside the courthouse holding a megaphone, has lost two congressional elections in recent years.

In 2020, she ran as the Republican nominee to represent Florida’s 21st congressional district of the U.S. House of Representatives, losing to U.S. Rep. Lois Frankel, a Democrat. She also ran for Florida’s 11th congressional district in 2022, losing to incumbent U.S. Rep. Daniel Webster.

“Where is Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida?” she asked another protester.

Kurt Jantz, professionally known as Forgiato Blow, was seen wearing a red hat with the number 47 and a black motorcyclist-style vest with a patch that read Born to Ride Donald Trump.

Maurice Symonette

As the founder of the group “Blacks for Trump,” Maurice Symonette made an appearance outside the courthouse with seven to eight other members in shirts that read “Blacks for Trump 2020.” The group’s website includes various conspiracy theories and racist, hate speech against indigenous tribes.

Symonette, who is in his early 60s, was a former member of a notorious antisemetic Miami cult and was previously acquitted on conspiring to murder charges. The founder of the group; however, was sent to prison after being convicted of murder.

Vivek Ramaswamy

Among the Trump supporters was Vivek Ganapathy Ramaswamy, 37, a Republican presidential hopeful and former pharmaceutical executive.

Ramaswamy, like Trump, seeks to be the Republican presidential nominee, and is considered by many a long-shot candidate. He is challenging Republican presidential candidates, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, to commit to pardon Trump if he is convicted.

Kari Lake

Former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, 53, was also seen outside the courthouse.

The former news anchor lost to Democrat Katie Hobbs in 2022. After losing the election, Lake unsuccessfully sued to have the gubernatorial election results overturned.

Lake gave an inflammatory speech June 9 at the Georgia GOP convention calling for Trump supporters to protest the arraignment and to “cling to their guns.” She also said at the time that the former president’s supporters “won’t let them lay a finger on Trump.”
