As January 2023 has concluded, it has officially been two years since the January 6th (J6) 2021 Stop the Steal protest in Washington DC. Over the last two years, hundreds of J6 political prisoners have continued to rot in prison, while their due process and right to a trial that consists of a jury of their peers has been denied. Many of the J6 defendants remain imprisoned under pretrial detention despite committing zero violent acts at the United States Capitol.
While there are J6 defendants and prisoners from all over the country, it is worth noting that Florida has the highest number of J6 defendants.
Among the chorus of DeSantis 2024 supporters, and the alleged paid social media influencers, many of which built their entire social media following by falsely presenting themselves as supporters of President Trump (while making boatloads of money off his name and selling MAGA merchandise) during his term in the White House, a new anti-Trump narrative is spreading, based off the despicable lie that Trump is solely to blame for the J6 political prisoners remaining behind bars.
“Trump could have pardoned them!” the DeSimps scream, despite the fact that the vast majority of those behind bars, and many who are still being targeted by the DOJ in their growing “criminal investigation” into what the DOJ refers to as the “J6 CAPITOL INSURRECTION”, were charged AFTER President Trump formally left office following the transition of power to the Biden administration.
Issuing a blanket, presidential pardon for non-violent actions on J6 would be a tacit admission that the J6 patriots did something wrong … which they didn’t!
But, the biggest hypocrisy in “DeSantis 2024” supporters attacking Donald Trump over January 6 is their refusal to admit and recognize the fact that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis supported the Capitol Police’s actions on January 6th, and he said he was in favor of J6 protesters being arrested and prosecuted for their Constitutionally protected right to protest and petition their government for grievances.
“I actually am glad to see some of these people being arrested from the DC thing, because I think the prosecutions will really make a difference. I think it was a really unfortunate thing,” DeSantis stated during a news conference in The Villages, where I recently ran for Congress as an America First Republican against pro-impeachment RINO career politician, Daniel Webster. It’s is worth noting that DeSantis and Webster once served in US Congress together, and DeSantis even endorsed Webster for Speaker of the House. Following January 6, 2021, Daniel Webster was one of the only Republicans who skipped the vote on the second impeachment of Donald Trump, and he was the only Republican member of Congress who skipped the vote on Nancy Pelosi’s Soviet style, January 6 Select Committee which was the driving force behind the second impeachment of Donald Trump.
But, after all, why would @GovRonDeSantis help these J6 political prisoners who are being tortured?
His job during the Iraq War was to oversee the torture of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. And, he allowed Capitol Police to enter FL after J6 to hunt down & arrest Trump Supporters.
Many of the J6 political prisoners have spent months in solitary confinement, and in abhorrent conditions. In one instance, the wife of a J6 prisoner from Florida described how her husband has been denied medical treatment for his cancer while being detained and jailed for participating in J6.
During a press conference, his wife thanked President Donald Trump for supporting her, her family, and the families of other J6 prisoners. She added that she has repeatedly called and left messages for her Governor, Ron DeSantis, in which she asked and begged for his help. “I’m from Florida. Nobody from Florida, Governor DeSantis hasn’t even reached out to us,” the prisoner’s wife told reporters during a press conference.

Good find. Unfortunately that one doesn’t sound interested in facts…
“Or, you can believe Trump that it was 100% peaceful.”
I tried to find any evidence for your claim.
It appears to be wholly fabricated.
You need to prove your outlandish claim or tell everyone why you posted it.
Why would you come onto this forum to spread lies about President Trump?
I posted some of Trump’s comments where he said “love was in the air” that day. Is that not him describing it as peaceful? Show me where he’s admitted some of his followers were violent or that any deserved to be arrested.
I don't know where you get that. Because I am interested in facts I asked you for your source but you decided to be an a-hole and tell me to find it myself.
I appreciated the link roving posted and did read what I could (a subscribe site) and saw 'some' were being helped but there's been over 800 people dragged through the D.C. sewer with many having their lives ruined; jmho, Trump could/should have done more by raising cain or by whatever means.
My original post was neither to you nor roving but directed at the OP who seems so intent on bashing Desantis over something he had nothing to do with.
” Show me where he’s admitted some of his followers were violent or that any deserved to be arrested.”
You’ve got it backwards. You need to show the rest of us where Trump said that nobody broke any laws on Jan. 6 and that nobody should have been arrested. The comment you like to dishonestly cite, (i.e. “there was love in the air”) was Trump discussing the people who showed up to listen to his speech, not those who showed up at the capitol. You are a deceiver.
Please, PLEASE tell me what Trump has done for these people. This is such a clownish post.
Show me where DeSantis has even talked about it. I haven’t seen him talk about it. As Julie Kelly said today, you don’t just let a rogue DOJ and FBI come into your state and concoct crimes, haul your constituents off to jail and then say NOTHING.
That goes for the Texas Governor, Greg Abbott, too. All the Republican Attorney Generals. But DeSantis has the most prisoners in his state and he doesn’t even bring it up. It is deafening silence. They bring up big tech freedom lawsuits on violation of first amendment rights, but what about one for January 6? MTG and a handful of Republicans in Congress can’t do all the heavy lifting on every single scandal.
When you have this going on 2 years later and you have Republican leadership in big states doing nothing to protect the rights of their own constituents in the face of the most dangerous, political, and partisan FBI and DOJ in history, it is an issue.
It is time to really think this through and for others to step up. This is not a joke, clown.
Right you are CVA.
>>>> Show me where DeSantis has even talked about it.
I posted some of DeSantis comments already. He’s talked about it, even though it’s Trump’s mess to clean up, as everyone told him in advance it was a horrible idea.

Then when you are asked "Trump was President at the time and it was his rally. What has HE done about J6?" you ask again what Desantis (the Governor of Florida) has done about it. You really don't see how asinine this is? This was a breach of a federal building on federal land and your panties are in a bunch about how the Florida Governor hasn't done enough??? You people are beyond belief.
—> but you decided to be an a-hole and tell me to find it myself.
Actually… I simply told you you *could* look it up *if* you were interested.
What I responded to was “Or, you can believe Trump that it was 100% peaceful.”
When I said it appeared you made this up you decided to change the subject.
Just admit you lied. Trump never said this, and you knew it from the start, right?
That’s as far as I needed to read.
Loomer is a first rate nut case who delusionally believes she’s going to land herself a position in the next Trump Administration.
Then again, after Omarosa, she just might.
