Disgusting JD Vance is sad because we don't feel sorry for J6 insurrectionists

“There are people who have objectively committed heinous crimes, but the American media and the American legal academy has decided that even though they committed bad crimes, their sentence was disproportionate, they were mistreated in some way,” Vance said.

--snip... but...

“You know who never, ever gets an ounce of sympathy when it comes to that disproportionate sentencing is people who voted for Donald Trump and participated in the January 6th protests,” Vance said.

Apparently DJT's administration believes that it's fine to violently attack federal buildings. It could even make you a millionaire. Hope he's more responsible when he teaches his own children.

I guess being a paid protester is a new job description.

Yeah, these people got what they deserved and many got less than they deserved.

And sympathy for criminals not really a thing in America, sans pot crimes.

I don’t see it going much further than his pocket or maybe into the ballroom and then into his pocket.

He was the leader of the January 6th attack and will therefore reward himself with the vast majority of the slush fund heist.

Promoting it as a March to Jericho was a textbook example of "misplaced faith", because Republicans are stupid when it comes to religion. Equating an election and the Capitol building with Jericho, was making the violent attack a racist event. Being you are married to a non-white woman, you might want to think about that.
