Trmp expresses solidarity with Jan. 6 rioters who stormed the Capitol

Former president Donald Trump expressed solidarity with the mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, sending a video of support to a fundraising event Thursday night hosted by a group called the Patriot Freedom Project that is supporting families of those being prosecuted by the government.

“People have been treated unconstitutionally, in my opinion, and very, very unfairly, and we’re going to get to the bottom of it,” he said in the video, which appeared to have been shot at his Mar-a-
Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla. “It’s the weaponization of the Department of Justice, and we can’t let this happen in our country.”

Trump, who last month announced a 2024 White House bid, pledged that in coming months, he would take a close look at what he characterized as “a very unfair situation.”

The Patriot Freedom Project advertises itself as “a non-profit organization providing legal, financial, mental-health, and spiritual support for individuals and their families — including young children — who are suffering at the hands of a weaponized justice system.

The people that tried to overthrow the government, murdered & maimed, caused suicides, caused PTSD to many, caused people to lose their livelihood, destroyed public and personal property, openly defecated and urinated in public and disgraced the greatest country in the world were treated unfairly.

I thought so.

When you think you can’t hear anything new that would demonstrate what a worthless human being he is, of course he does.

They're collecting and distributing donation money to J6ers, and playing jailhouse politics.

The article is from a rightwing website.
https://conservative-daily.com/election/opinion-of-patriots-and-grifters-how-a-low-rent-hustler-and-a-nazi-sympathizer-deceived-the-peoples-movement-for-personal-enrichment

"According to several of the incarcerated and their families, as well as people working for some of these organizations, millions of dollars have been raised on behalf of these men and women and their families to date.

So why are so many J6ers still without private legal defense almost two years after the event? Why are so many families still in such dire financial need? "

PFP is run by an associate of the Hitler-mustache guy, Timothy Hale-Cusanell. NPR's Tom Dreisbach investigated.
https://www.npr.org/2022/04/14/1092580753/capitol-riot-january-6-insurrection-defendants

"Still, sources inside the jail said Hale-Cusanelli had a group of supporters, in part, because of his connection to the Patriot Freedom Project. (Those supporters did not respond to NPR's messages seeking comment.)

One detainee compared the situation to "the movie Mean Girls, but with racist, antisemitic extremists." "

They're eating each other.
