Jan. 6 convict embraces Trump at campaign event, calls for Pence's execution

Jan. 6 convict embraces Trump at campaign event, calls for Pence’s execution

A woman who served time in prison for her involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection embraced former President Trump at a campaign rally in New Hampshire on Thursday before later saying that former Vice President Mike Pence and “every single” member of Congress who certified the 2020 election should be executed.

After QAnon supporter Micki Larson-Olson was pointed out to Trump as a “Jan. 6-er” by the crowd at a packed diner, Trump sought her out, calling her “terrific,” telling her to “hang in there” and giving her a hug, video shows.

Larson-Olson said in an NBC News interview the next day that Trump is the “real president” and that she “would like a front seat of Mike Pence being executed.”

“The punishment for treason is death, per the Constitution,” Larson-Olson said. “I believe every single person, every single person that stole a voice from our collective voice of ‘We the people, of the people, for the people, by the people,’ deserves death, and no less than that.”

TFG is defending and embracing these traitors/seditionists. If TFG is re-elected, we can kiss our democratic form of government goodbye. The DOJ has spend a great deal of time to prosecute these assholes/traitors and TFG wants to pardon them.

Adding to the gravity of these historic events of the day was Trump’s literal embrace, while campaigning in New Hampshire, of a woman convicted of resisting police efforts to clear the grounds after the insurrection.....

It’s an important reminder not only as we await a verdict in the Proud Boys seditious conspiracy trial, but for cases like the misdemeanor conviction of the woman Trump hugged in New Hampshire, Micki Larson-Olson, a member of QAnon splinter group Negative48, who has called for executing members of Congress who certified the 2020 election for President Joe Biden.



Trump told Larson-Olson, who was sentenced to 180 days in jail last year, that she’d “been through too much” and would end up “happy.”

?s=20
......That the former and potential future president literally embraced his mob on the day that his vice president, whom that mob wanted to kill, testified in the investigation into Trump’s plot to hold power by extralegal means, does well to encapsulate the man who’s sought and will seek to bend or break the law to his will.

I don't like Mike Pence. I didn't like his sycophant, adoring gaze at Trump, his cold eyes, or his zombie like appearance. I don't like the way he refuses to acknowledge that Trump thought he deserved to be hanged on January 6th. But, danged, what did he do except his duty under our law?

These people are deranged. Show them some mercy, and they come out completely twisted, same way they went in. These people are nuts. Bat shit crazy.

But, they should know, next time this happens, they are going to get shot! We aren't giving up this democracy or our country as easily as they skated out of twenty year sentences for treason.

If you don't want to go to jail for a long period out of your life, don't try to overthrow the government! Don't take zip ties, nooses and erect gallows to hang people on.

Trump is evil. EVIL. Follow him, and die.

He probably copped a feel there. That's what he is.
