A New Jersey electrician who repeatedly attacked police officers during the Jan. 6, 2021, siege at the U.S. Capitol was sentenced on Friday to 12 years in prison by a judge who called him “a menace to our society.”
Christopher Joseph Quaglin argued with and insulted U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden before and after the judge handed him one of the longest prison sentences among hundreds of Capitol riot cases.
“You’re Trump’s worst mistake of 2016,” Quaglin told McFadden, who was nominated to the court by then-President Donald Trump in 2017.
“What an outrage. What a disgrace,” the judge said.
Quaglin complained about his jail conditions and pushed conspiracy theories about the Jan. 6 siege during his rambling remarks in the courtroom. He also took issue with labeling the Jan. 6 attack as an insurrection.
It’s actually pretty funny. I saw a video recently where someone asked Republicans who was president in 2016. Almost all of them answered “Trump”.
Trump became president on 1/20/2017.
They’re not bright, remember the guy crying about Obama not doing for Katrina? The scariest part of the right, is the lack of education they have. It’s a cult of stupid and it’s hard to fight stupid.
