Tucker Carlson Questions Prison Time For Capitol Rioter Who Sat In Mike Pence's Chair

Tucker Carlson on Thursday questioned the three-and-a-half-year prison sentence handed to UCLA student Christian Secor after he stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with a mob of Donald Trump followers and sat in Mike Pence’s chair. The Fox News host later wanted to know what the former vice president thought about that. (Watch the video at the bottom.)

Carlson noted that Secor, who was suspended from UCLA, will spend "far more time” behind bars than two attorneys who fire-bombed a police car in Brooklyn during a Black Lives Matter protest in 2020. Carlson played fast and loose with the facts in his argument. More on that later.

But first, here’s how Carlson characterized Secor’s involvement:

"So, what exactly did Christian Secor do to spend more time behind bars a lot more than those guys? Well, on Jan. 6 of 2021, Christian Secor walked into the Senate chamber and sat down briefly in Mike Pence’s seat. That’s it. Didn’t hurt anyone, sat in Mike Pence’s seat. For that, Christian Secor will spend more time in prison than people who tried to set police officers on fire ― to murder police officers.”

First off, the convicted attorneys didn’t attempt to attack police officers at all ― they threw a Molotov cocktail into an empty police vehicle. (Their potential sentence was later reduced from 10 years to a recommended 18 months to two years. The actual sentencing for at least one of them is expected in November.)

Carlson’s description of Secor’s actions was a tad generous. Secor, who carried the flag of a far-right movement, "joined other rioters in pushing against doors and overpowering three police officers, according to a court filing that accompanied his guilty plea,” The Associated Press wrote. (He pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding.)

The Trump-nominated judge who sentenced him, Trevor McFadden, said Secor’s actions were "about as blatant and obstructive as any [he’d] seen from that day that didn’t include actual violence,” NPR reported.

Secor’s attorneys presented letters to suggest he was remorseful, but McFadden said, "I’m not sure I’ve really seen that from you, sir,” according to NPR.

Prosecutors also argued that Secor, who was not found to be armed that day, had raised red flags about his intentions through purchases of firearms and tactical gear. (He showed off his AR-15 in a video, NPR noted.)

Secor previously expressed support for "political violence” according to assistant U.S. attorney Kimberly Paschall.

"Secor’s history of adhering to extremist ideology and easy access to weapons, including firearms, warrants serious consideration when fashioning an appropriate sentence,” Paschall wrote, per AP.

Yeah, just a dude who sat in a chair, Tucker.

The far-right host then called out Pence, who was targeted in "hang Mike Pence” cheers from the rioters, for not responding to his request for comment.

"So, what does Mike Pence think of this?” Carlson said. "A man going to prison for three and a half years for sitting in his seat? He didn’t issue a statement about it, so we called his office. What do you think? He didn’t respond. Maybe he will. It’d be interesting to know, what does Mike Pence think? Is he for this?”

At least 928 people have been charged in the Capitol insurrection so far. 

https://www.insider.com/all-the-us-capitol-pro-trump-riot-arrests-charges-names-2021-1

• More than 928 people have been charged with crimes linked to the Capitol insurrection.
• Over a year after January 6, 2021, 417 people have pleaded guilty in connection to the riot.
• The FBI is still attempting to identify people from the Capitol siege. We'll keep this list updated.

 

 

On January 13, 2022, the Department of Justice unsealed an indictment against the leader of the Oath Keepers, Elmer Stewart Rhodes, and 10 associates, charging them with "seditious conspiracy," the most severe charge levied against any of the alleged Capitol rioters so far.

The first jury trial relating to the Capitol riots resulted in a jury finding rioter Guy Reffitt guilty on each of the five counts he faced after fewer than 4 hours of deliberations. US prosecutors said Reffitt brought a pistol and flex-cuffs to the Capitol, but didn't enter the building.

Penn State Cancels Far-Right Event, Slams the Students Who Protested

Penn State pulled the plug on a speaking event hosted by far-right Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes less than an hour before it was set to take place on Monday, citing a "threat of escalating violence.” Administrators admonished McInnes’ allies for instigating unrest, but it multiple statements also slammed the students protesting, some of whom were pepper sprayed on their own campus.

Students had been calling for the event’s cancellation for weeks, citing McInnes and the Proud Boys’ history of provocation and violence. The Southern Poverty Law Center have labeled the Proud Boys a hate group, and several of its members were charged with sedition for their actions around the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. The university defended their decision to approve the event by citing their status as a public university that is "unalterably obligated under the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment to protect various expressive rights..”

Jerry Ryals lost his job, became estranged from his wife and was shunned in his community after being charged for his role in the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Now the Trump supporter from Fort Gibson is losing his freedom.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ordered him to spend nine months in prison and pay $2,000 in restitution for his role in the attack. No appeal is planned.

Man who dragged officer into mob gets over 7 years in prison

A Tennessee man who dragged a police officer into a mob of rioters, initiating one of the most harrowing acts of violence during the U.S. Capitol attack, was sentenced on Thursday to more than seven years in prison.

Albuquerque Cosper Head declined to address the court before U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced him to seven years and six months of imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release. The judge said Head was responsible for "some of the darkest acts committed on one of our nation’s darkest days.”

Head's prison sentence is six months shy of the statutory maximum in his case. It's also the second-longest so far among hundreds of cases arising from the Capitol siege on Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of Trump supporters stormed the building as Congress prepared to certify President Joe Biden's electoral victory.

Mark Meadows loses federal case in fight over House Jan. 6 committee subpoena

WASHINGTON – A federal judge has thrown out former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows’ challenge to a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021.

Meadows initially cooperated with the committee by providing 1,000 emails and 2,300 text messages about the attack. But he later decided not to testify and fought the subpoena for a variety of reasons, including executive privilege and whether a senior presidential aide can be compelled to testify before Congress.

But U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols ruled Monday that the committee was justified in subpoenaing Meadows.

Good. One more POS dragged into the light.

I like how he mentions Washington, saying "Take charge like Washington would".  Hey, dumb**s, Washington literally set the standard for willingly stepping down from the office of the Presidency to avoid turning the US into a monarchy.  You're asking for Trump to do the exact opposite.

The great Neville Chamberlain, tremendous basketball player, a lot of people don't know this but he used to score many, many points in a single game. People are now saying he was one of the all-time greats, some people say even better than Jordan.
