Retired lawyer and big money Democratic donor Hugh Samson was arraigned Wednesday on a disorderly conduct charge stemming from a February incident in which he allegedly barged into a non-public area of the Massachusetts Republican Party headquarters, yelled at staffers that they were “fascists” for not wearing masks, complained of being “breathed on,” demanded to know if the state GOP ordered the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and stormed out while threatening to “return with a weapon.”
