4th District candidate Sessler denounces Jan. 6 hearing: 'I was there' [View all]
Jerrod Sessler, a candidate for the congressional seat now held by Rep. Dan Newhouse, is calling the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2020, attack on the Capitol an exercise in propaganda.
He knows what happened because he was in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6 and at former President Donald Trump’s rally, he says. A video screenshot circulating on social media shows him standing in front of the Capitol after crowds had swarmed the building’s steps.
He has said he did not go inside the Capitol. In a campaign video, Sessler has called what happened on Jan. 6 “the absolute most beautiful heist in world history,” with the left setting up the breach of the Capitol to guarantee that Trump would never be eligible to be president again.
“J6 was a setup,” he posted again on social media this month.
“This is what really happened on J6,” he said in a June 12 post to his Twitter social media account. “I was there. The police incited the violence they wanted. I watched them do it.” He tweeted that he was shocked that police “were throwing small bombs and shooting rubber bullets into the crowd of peaceful elderly, children and all.”
