Munchel reportedly traveled to the Capitol with his mom
Shortly before the arrest, a British newspaper, The Sunday Times, published an interview with Munchel and his mother, Lisa Eisenhart, a nurse.
The report says they spoke with a journalist after they had taken part in the Capitol incident and as they were preparing to go home.
Hes quoted as saying, It was a kind of flexing of muscles . . . . The intentions of going in were not to fight the police. The point of getting inside the building is to show them that we can, and we will.
His mother also expressed radical views, according to the newspaper.
This country was founded on revolution, shes quoted as saying. If theyre going to take every legitimate means from us, and we cant even express ourselves on the internet, we wont even be able to speak freely, what is America for?

Traveling with people you love isn't something to be criticized.
Hit him concerning his beliefs. Hit him concerning his actions. Hit her witj her actions. Traveling with your mother isn't a bad thing. Don't try to make it so.

Someone needs to explain the concept of "free" speech... These internet platforms are not free speech zones... or the public parks. The have a right and an obligation to remove offensive content...
you can get a pen and piece of paper and a bunch of stamps and mail your thoughts, such as they are, to anyone you like.
But be warned, if you advocate the illegal overthrow of the government or call for our elected leaders to be executed, that isn't protected free speech.
