Judge Kelly: If we don't have a peaceful transfer of power in this country, we dont have anything.

To remind everyone, January 6th wasn't Trump's Plan A. It wasn't even Plan B.

Proud Boy-Zachary Rehl: 'I'm done peddling lies for other people who don't care about me'

Two leaders of the Proud Boys were sentenced to lengthy prison terms on Thursday for their roles in the assault on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with a top lieutenant in the far-right group, Joseph Biggs, given 17 years, and another key figure in the attack, Zachary Rehl, getting 15 years.

................

Racked by sobs, Mr. Rehl apologized to his friends and family — and even the prosecution team — telling Judge Kelly he believed the “lies about the election” spread by politicians.

“I’m done peddling lies for other people who don’t care about me,” he said.

Mr. Biggs also wept when he addressed the court, saying that he had turned to drinking — a favorite Proud Boy pastime — after coming back from combat overseas and that the only group he wanted to be affiliated with these days is “my daughter’s P.T.A.”
