On January 6, 2021, Gionet participated in the storming of the U.S. Capitol building in support of then-President Trump. Due to bans from other platforms, Gionet livestreamed his actions outside and inside the building on DLive. About 16,000 people watched his livestream from the Capitol. DLive later suspended several accounts, removed broadcasts, and suspended earnings of those who participated in the Capitol riot, including Gionet's. Gionet was also banned from TikTok following these events. On January 13, it was reported that Gionet's livestream was being used by the FBI to identify and track down suspects who had broken into the Capitol building, some of whom Gionet had interviewed.
