Stewart Rhodes' lawyer admits concern after jury hears the threats to hang Nancy Pelosi and the Bide

Stewart Rhodes' lawyer admits concern after jury hears the threats to hang Nancy Pelosi and the Biden speech

Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes is in court this week facing charges over his involvement in the Jan. 6 attack on Congress.

In court on Wednesday, audio clips of Rhodes were played to illustrate his anger at both House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Mike Pence. "If he's not going to do the right thing, and he's just gonna' let himself be removed illegally, then we should have brought rifles. We could have fixed it right then and there. I'd hang f*ckin' Pelosi from the lampost."

Coming into court on Thursday, Rhodes' attorney acknowledged that it probably wasn't helpful in light of the recent attack on Pelosi's husband by a man who said he wanted to break her kneecaps, Law and Crime News reporter Adam Klasfeld reported.

"It’s almost as if a person’s words and thoughts in combination with all of his planning and action could have consequences in this life," replied tech and video game journalist James Mielke.

... but guess what? It's totally conceivable now.

Convict him and lock him up.

No offense, but jebus! Elmer? Why does that not surprise me?

On edit. He deserves far, far worse than life in prison. I can think of a few punishments that would fit that bill.
