[UPDATED] Capitol Rioters Storm CPAC: 'I am Considered a National Hero'
Radical Reports identified more than 30 pardoned Capitol Rioters that attended CPAC, including members of far right extremists groups such as the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.
UPDATE: Radical Reports has now identified at least 45 pardoned Capitol Rioters that attended the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
Radical Reports identified more than 30 pardoned Capitol Rioters that attended the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), including members of far right extremists groups such as the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.
Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the far right militia group the Oath Keepers, reportedly “walked around the conference as a free man after his sentence was commuted.” Rhodes told The New York Times that he has high expectations for Trump. “I just hope he goes full-bore — within the constitutional bounds. I hope he goes all the way," Rhodes said.
Richard Barnett, who during the attack on the Capitol "propped his feet on a desk in then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office in a widely circulated photo,” claimed that CPAC organizers are “targeting pre-registered J6,” and that event staff “escorted me out of CPAC this morning.”
Enrique Tarrio, the founder of the far right extremists group the Proud Boys, also claimed that he was denied admission into CPAC, however, both were apparently “later admitted into the event.” Tarrio was later attested "near the U.S. Capitol on a charge that he assaulted a woman protesting a gathering attended by Tarrio and others who received presidential pardons."
Barnett posted a video on social media: “I am considered a national hero. I’m a J6er and I have an unlimited, unconditional presidential pardon from President Trump… I went when he called me, I stood up. I spent all this time in prison for my country.”
Michael Curzio, who prior to taking part in the Capitol Riot had "joined a white supremacist gang while in prison for attempted murder," attended CPAC and told the Daily Mail that he has “real bad rep – they’ve got me labeled as a white supremacist and everything,' and blamed the violence on actions by Capitol Police officers.
Gina Bisignano, who took part in the attack on the Capitol in '“in support of the man she calls ‘Trumpy Bear,’” attended CPAC and told The Independent that she continues to believe the false claims that the 2020 election was stolen. “I believe we all had a reason to do what we did. They unequivocally stole our election, as we know? Right? So I knew that the injustice was not going to be carried on. As soon as he ran and he was on Joe Rogan, yeah, that's it. I knew it. We won,” Bisignano said.
CPAC since 2020 is a convention of Fascist Louts & gormless Republican White Supremissracists.
