Phillip S Grillo, who enjoys taking selfies with a lit cigarette in his mouth and storming a Capitol with a megaphone in his hand in his spare time, has filed to run in the Primary for the 26th Assembly District of New York State which represents Northeast Queens. Previously, he ran for George Santos's vacated seat unsuccessfully. Unlike many of his fellow rioters, Phillip has some political experience as he was a district leader of the Republican Party previously. He also is a retired NYC Police Officer who ironically or unironically at one point worked security of the perimeter of Gracie Mansion. Additionally, he is/was an active member of the Knights of Columbus, and wore a jacket identifying himself as a member during the J6 riot. That evidence was used in his original conviction in the storming of the Capitol.
During his participation of the riot on the Capitol on January 6th, 2021 Mr. Grillo is allegedly on video and audio recordings claiming that he is there to stop the steal and allegedly requests a hit a maurijauna from a fellow rioter and hi fives him afterward. To his credit, he did tell the judge at his conviction hearing, correctly, that he would be pardoned. I'm no resume analyst but if that doesn't scream out "election victory" I don't know what does.
