Demonstrators who were arrested and charged for storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, claimed a spot at the Conservative Political Action Conference and railed against federal prosecutors, Republican lawmakers and CPAC itself for mistreating them.
They said they have been shut out of the banking system, de-platformed from social media, blacklisted from flying on commercial airlines — wrecked financially and socially — and, worse of all, forgotten by most conservative leaders in Washington.
At a panel discussion titled “True Stories of January 6: The Prosecuted Speak,” they described a saga of persecution and abandonment:
• They were ignored or ghosted by Republican lawmakers who once claimed to champion their cause.
• They were left out of the equation when House Speaker Kevin McCarthy turned over Capitol surveillance video from Jan. 6 to Fox News’s Tucker Carlson, despite promises to make the video available to the public.
• And they were relegated to a sideshow in a cramped meeting room rather than featured on the main stage at CPAC.

Conservatives around the country have forgotten about them. Oh sure, they talk a good story about how this is an injustice, but little else. These people have a right to be angry.
Probably because they no longer can vote especially the ones charged. Once you have a felony, you give up your right to vote. I’m sure that’s why conservatives are not trying to campaign for their votes.
Legislators who remain silent concerning the welfare of the January 6 political prisoners will be held accountable.
“Jan. 6 defendants at CPAC say Republican leaders have forgotten them”
Now that’s not really fair as they are VERY BUSY helping President Biden get World War 3 started up, and that takes a lot of time and attention.
They never cared from the start.
Our Conservative “leaders” are also ignoring the persecution of Christians in Canada.

This is one reason they didn’t want to release the CCTV footage. I think it shows the FBI and others set them up. The resulting lawsuits could have been epic. But now that the public perception is what they wanted to portray nothing will come of it..
That is, perhaps, the major point. We have any number of Rino's that have successfully presented as R's.
It is a bit like my R Sen who responded, "If he says he was born in Hawaii, that is good enough for me."
As a zek in the GULAG said to Solzhenitsyn just before he died of starvation and the cold, “If only Stalin knew”.
The GOP is their - and Trump’s - mortal enemy. They are suffering today not because the GOP has forgotten them, but because the GOP wants them to suffer, to make sure no one like Trump EVER disturbs their peaceful collaboration with their friends across the aisle again.
The problem that mentality creates is that other people do notice the poor treatment.
I look at the situation and see a party and people not worth the risk. Why would anyone risk going through what the J6 defendants are dealing with when you know you’re just going to get back-stabbed by those who claim to be on your side?
Lindsey Graham wants them dead.
THE ESTABLISHMENT GOP IS JUST AS MUCH AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE AS THE DEMOCRAT ESTABLISHMENT....
Until people wake up to that fact, NOTHING WILL CHANGE.
And they expected.........
These people have a right to be angry.
thank you post 2
absolutely!
When do the J6 defendants get their checks for $21,500 for being “kettled” by the FIB? What’s good for the Black Looters Movement is good for the JSixers.
After all, they are dealing with POLITICIANS!!!!!!!
Legislators who remain silent concerning the welfare of the January 6 political prisoners will be held accountable.
^^This^^
I will never forget.
J6 prisoners are propaganda tools. “Don’t cross the Deep State!”
