WASHINGTON A Delaware man who carried a Confederate flag through the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot was sentenced to three years in prison on Thursday.
Kevin Seefried, 53, was convicted on five charges stemming from his participation in the riot, including obstruction of an official proceeding the joint session of Congress that was working to certify the Electoral College vote that day.
The government had sought a 70-month sentence for Seefried, while his lawyers asked for one year in prison.
Seefried addressed the court before the sentence was handed down and said he knew entering the Capitol was wrong.
I never wanted to send a message of hate, he said.
