This is NOT sad. This is HORRIFIC!
What is the ‘J6 Awards Gala’? Is Donald Trump hosting an event for U.S. Capitol rioters?
School board member bragged of drinking Fireball and Coors Light in Capitol on Jan. 6, FBI says

Judge slams “preposterous” claims by some in GOP on Jan. 6 “hostages”
“The big picture: U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth was referring to comments by former President Trump and other Republicans including Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) who have described imprisoned Jan. 6 rioters as “hostages.”
What he’s saying: “The Court is accustomed to defendants who refuse to accept that they did anything wrong. But in my thirty-seven years on the bench, I cannot recall a time when such meritless justifications of criminal activity have gone mainstream,” Lamberth said during sentencing proceedings in D.C., without naming those who’ve used such language.
- “I have been dismayed to see distortions and outright falsehoods seep into the public consciousness,” the judge added.
Of note: Lamberth noted some had claimed that “rioters behaved ‘in an orderly fashion’ like ordinary tourists, or martyrizing convicted January 6 defendants as ‘political prisoners’ or even, incredibly, ‘hostages.’
- “That is all preposterous,” Lamberth added during the proceedings for James Little, a Jan. 6 misdemeanor defendant.”
