Sarasota chiropractor stormed Capitol, and there was no turning back

There’s no question, a hard day of rioting can do quite the number on even the strongest insurrectionist’s back. But Joseph Hackett, a Sarasota chiropractor, was not at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 to perform lumbar adjustments or recommend memory foam mattresses.

He was there to “stop, delay and hinder the certification of the Electoral College vote,” according to charges filed by the U.S. government, and his wife still does not understand why he remains in jail since being arrested at his Sarasota office on May 28.

Deena Hackett appeared on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast on Thursday to complain of the injustices thrust upon her husband, such as being in jail with “murderers and gang members,” and the financial hardships the family has faced since this whole thing happened to a law-abiding “1/6er.”

Bannon – a former Trump adviser arrested last year, and later pardoned, over a border wall scam along with Sarasota County’s Andrew Badolato – called Joseph Hackett a “political prisoner” and also said “we’re going to take action,” whatever that means.

He was there to overthrow the government. The “murderers and gang members”
don't deserve to be locked up with Hackett.

If they'd done that on 1/6 as soon as they breached the front. It would have ended right then and there, after the first 5-6 dropped

The US government needs to warn future traitors that ANY ATTACK on the Capital will be met by lethal force.

NO EXCEPTIONS.

Then we'll see who's going to "take action"....

I missed Vietnam and was not called up for Desert Storm. A lot of guys didn’t serve, so thank you for your sacrifice.

A non-combatant MOS, but he was there and came back changed for the rest of his life.

He died in 1996,but his name should be on the wall.

What her husband did is almost worse then a lot of the Rednecks involved who were easily duped. He is a highly educated man and still had no common sense or the ability to think for himself.

How many does this make for Florida now? I know we had the highest number there.
