From Convicted Jan 6th Rioter to Today's Congressional Hopeful Tuesday, September 24, 2024

As the 2024 elections are looming, some candidates are trying to make hay by still claiming the January 6 event was an insurrection. I listened to Trump's speech that morning. He only asked his audience to march to the Capitol to show their support for recounting the vote - not to trespass, damage property or injure anyone. In fact, the only person who was injured (killed) was Ashley Babbitt - and this was at the hand of law enforcement - not any trespassers. To some people, Derrick Evans is an enigma: how can someone be a part of the Jan. 6th riots, be convicted, apologize and then run for Congress? There's no question that he was there at the January 6th, 2021 Capitol riot - he live-streamed himself on Facebook Live shouting such things as, "We're taking this country back whether you like it or not.... Patriots stand up!" He was one of the more prominent defendants and he faced more serious charges because he was considered a "leader," as he had been a West Virginia state legislator at the time. He pleaded guilty to a felony civil disorder charge and was sentenced to 90 days in jail. He is now out and more committed than ever to saving America. Will his role in the Jan. 6th riots help him get elected - or hurt him? What was the riot really like? It's not the narrative that the mainstream media has been feeding us. Now that we have seen some of the previously hidden video, we know it's not what they've been trying to sell us as the truth!
