Updated 2:02 PM EDT, April 7, 2024

BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — A man was charged Sunday with setting a fire outside the Vermont office of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, federal prosecutors said.

Shant Soghomonian, 35, who was previously of Northridge, California, entered the building on Friday and went to Sanders’ third-floor office where security video showed him spraying a liquid on the door and setting it afire, officials said.

The building’s interior suffered some damage from the fire and sprinklers that doused the area with water, but no one was hurt. Sanders, an independent, was not in the office at the time.

Soghomonian was arrested Sunday on a charge of using fire to damage a building used in interstate commerce, according to a statement from Nikolas Kerest, the U.S. attorney for Vermont.  ...

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

We shan't ever know.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Decent fire, looks like it managed to burn through the bottom of the door and the firefighters knocked holes in the wall surrounding the door to put out the wall.

I get the feeling the suspect does not fit the narrative the MSM wants to report much about.
