MAGA J6er convicted felon Derrick Evans laments political violence as if he thinks his past history was forgotten
Jonathan Derrick Evans (born April 2, 1985[1]) is an American politician and convicted felon who served as a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates for the 19th district from December 1, 2020, to January 9, 2021. He was an unsuccessful candidate for election to West Virginia's 1st congressional district in 2024.
Evans participated in the January 6 attack against the U.S. Capitol. He was arrested two days after the attack and resigned from the House of Delegates the next day. In 2022, he pleaded guilty to a felony charge of civil disorder and was sentenced to 90 days in prison. He was pardoned by President Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, along with nearly every other participant in the Capitol attack.
