Capitol rioter Guy Reffitt, who was a proud member of the far-right group the Three Percenters, just got sentenced to seven years in jail, on five felony counts, including bringing a gun onto the Capitol grounds.
Even though he didn’t break into the Capitol, he egged on the crowd and at one point was captured on video saying he planned to drag House Speaker Nancy Pelosi out by her feet ‘with her head hitting every step on the way down.’
He was also caught on camera with a Smith & Wesson pistol in a hip holster. And he was the guy with the zip-tie handcuffs, which he professed he hadn’t planned on using.
It didn’t help his case that he warned his kids not to turn him in because ‘traitors get shot.’
But that’s exactly what happened. Jackson Reffitt told The New York Times that he felt bad for turning his father in, but he doesn’t regret it.
‘I would say I’m sorry, because I don’t feel like I put him in this situation, but I still feel guilty. I would do it again,’ Jackson told the paper.
As it stands now, federal prosecutors have won convictions in all but one of 13 trials tied to the Capitol attack.
