Evan Neumann turned up in the country late last August—and almost immediately began spewing Kremlin talking points on Belarusian state television.

Published Mar. 22, 2022 10:40AM ET

A California man wanted by the FBI for his role in the deadly Jan. 6, 2020, Capitol riot has just been granted asylum in Belarus, according to Belarusian state media.

“U.S. citizen Evan Neumann has received refugee status in Belarus. The document was handed to him today in the Department of Citizenship and Migration of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Brest Regional Executive Committee,” read a statement shared by the BelTA news agency.


“I feel safe in Belarus. It’s calm, I like it in this country. Today I am experiencing mixed feelings. I’m glad that Belarus has taken care of me. I’m upset that I wound up in this situation, that in my native country there were such problems,” Neumann was quoted saying.

Neumann, 48, was charged on six different counts last July, including violent entry and assaulting police officers. But he was already in the wind, having reportedly sold his house and absconded first to Ukraine, and then Belarus last August.

1. Congrats. You earned and deserve refuge in Belarus.

[KS Toronado]

48. Wonder if he wore his "I'd rather be Russian than a Democrat" T-shirt?

[Duncanpup]

2. FREEDUMB

[AllaN01Bear]

3. see ya later aligator.

[IronLionZion]

4. Don't come back

More of these terrorists should leave this country that they hate so much. Make no mistake, this is not some policy disagreement. These folks hate the people, land, laws, and institutions of America.

[Jetheels]

5. He got his wish to live in a police state.

[calimary]

29. Better there than here.

Sayonara, sucka...

[alwaysinasnit]

6. Could that be taken as evidence the he is renouncing his US citizenship?

[The Grand Illuminist]

45. Doubt it.

In order for him to denounce, he has to go to the US embassy, which is the last place he would go. If he steps foot in there, he will be detained legally as the embassy is considered US soil.

[JohnnyRingo]

7. He can act as if he loves it there....

...but we know he goes to bed each night with a prayer that DJT gets back in office.

[LiberalFighter]

8. May a Russian missle fired by the Ukraine military wipe him out.

[thucythucy]

9. He joins illustrious American expat Lee Harvey Oswald

in choosing the pleasures of life in Minsk.

Oswald of course changed his mind after two years, much to our nation's regret.

It'll be interesting to see how long it will be until this loser also decides he's made the wrong move.

[WinstonSmith4740]

28. I hope he figures it out tomorrow.

He'll whine and cry a river about how he wants to come back. Screw him.

[Rebl2]

43. Hopefully

he will be arrested if he tries to come back to this country.

[Scalded Nun]

10. I'm upset that I wound up in this situation, that in my native country there were such problems,"

Looks to me we now have 1 less problem.

[reACTIONary]

14. +10 nt

[colorado_ufo]

11. And don't let America's "Golden Door"

hit you in the ass on the way out.

[in2herbs]

12. If he can still be tried in abstentia then let's do it. nt

[turbinetree]

13. Hey Neumann storm the parliament in Belarus and then get back to us....

fucking traitor.....your five minutes of fame .......

[Rebl2]

15. He should

never be allowed back in this country and should lose his citizenship to the United States. Never come back here and if you do expect to be arrested.

[DENVERPOPS]

32. Absolutely agree

May many others in the Jan 6th seditionists follow him, lose their citizenship. And when they wake up to what they have actually done and how they have been played, let them sit in their newfound situation.......His life over there will be in no way comparable to the U.S.
That punishment will be far worse than the petty sentence for his participation in Jan 6th......

[Rebl2]

35. I agree

with you totally.

[FailureToCommunicate]

16. Enjoy your new life with Putin and pals. Oh, and here is our heartfelt farewell...

[SunSeeker]

17. "Wins Asylum in Belarus"? I wouldn't call that a "Win."

[ffr]

19. His mixed emotions? No DUH! Really! Now he gets to experience all he fought for

first hand.

Good luck with that Evan! Enjoy your FREEDUMB under totalitarian rule, you stupid fuckhead!

ENJOY!

[SunSeeker]

24. Maybe him and Snowden can be roommates in a nice little gulag.

[TNNurse]

18. Please say we can keep him from ever coming back.

[lonely bird]

20. Welp, he'll be a useful idiot

Until he is no longer useful.

Then what? Polonium? Accidentally falling off a roof or out of a window?

[rockfordfile]

21. Everyone of those pos are un-American.

[zaj]

22. son of "hotelier Claus Neumann"...

Dad sounded like a decent, hard working, honorable guy from this obit. Can you imagine if he knew his son was helping rebuild the Soviet empire?

"After the war, Claus had a tumultuous teen life: fleeing the Soviets twice, working as a cook apprentice to eat, smuggling, spending time in a Soviet prison, attending Hotel School in Heidelberg, working in some of the finest hotels in Europe and finally coming to Pebble Beach as a butler in 1953. The details of his early life are chronicled in his memoir, Farewell Marienburg (available on Amazon). After a stint in the US Army, rapid promotion at the Beverley Hilton, and fighting racism at the New Orleans Hilton Inn, Claus moved to Northern California bringing his old world charm with him. Claus and Tony Vicini arrived in Santa Rosa and opened the doors of Los Robles Lodge in 1962."

23. He used to grow weed for a living

He said he sold it to dispenseries and used it for his bipolar disorder. Unfortunately, weed isn't recommended for BPD and can even make it worse.

[KS Toronado]

25. If he first went to Ukraine

Why didn't he stay there and fight for "freedumb" because that's so dear to his heart?
Is he a coward or did Zelensky refuse to give him dirt on Hunter Biden also?

[Straw Man]

26. Doesn't this add another charge to his sheet?

Fugitive from justice, something like that? If he ever wants to come back, that is.

[TomSlick]

41. Yes, it does.

I hope he likes it in Belarus. He can never return.

[70sEraVet]

27. Belarus will get tired of MAGATs who can't pull their weight, but want gov't services

Maybe that's why Putin is taking over Ukraine - creating a homeland for American MAGATs fleeing justice.
He knows that Ukrainians are jumping ship. And somebody's got to grow those sunflowers.

[keithbvadu2]

30. Stay there!

[The Jungle 1]

31. FU you filthy treasonous scum

[barbtries]

33. just in time for the war.

i don't know this asswipe but i would lay odds that he will regret this decision.

[SouthernDem4ever]

34. All I can say is, what a moron!

and that was before he defected to an authoritarian govt.

[FeelingBlue]

36. That's one way to avoid responsibility!! NT

[FeelingBlue]

37. Didn't his mother ever tell him,

“Don’t do anything stupid enough that, in order to get yourself out of trouble, you have to move to Belarus!!?”

[onecaliberal]

38. I don't know how he got on the plane, but we should not allow him to come back.

[ZonkerHarris]

39. Can we get more republicans and proud boys to follow him over? Maybe a travel advertisement?

[RussBLib]

40. damn shame

that so many Americans are dumb as rocks and they will believe a narcissistic con man to the extent of fleeing the country.

Perhaps some day he will finally realize that he is a total fool.

[rockfordfile]

42. They should've busted his ass

[myohmy2]

44. maybe...

...Belarus will give trump asylum too...

"I feel safe in Belarus. It’s calm, I like it in this country."

...trump might like it there too...he needs to start thinking about retirement...

...and right next door to putin...

[Martin68]

46. Perfect! He has shown the world where he stands. He's a Russian patriot!

Good riddance to good trash.

[Jetheels]

47. I hope he can also win a trip to North Korea.

[quakerboy]

49. Can we send the rest of them as well?

[Vinca]

50. This is the perfect solution for all fans of autocracy. I'll happily contribute to the plane

fare to cart MJT, ignorant Boebert, Hawley and the rest of them over there.

[MissMillie]

51. How do we get all the MAGAs to move there? (n/t)

.

[Hieronymus Phact]

52. Prediction:

He'll get homesick. He'll miss the freedoms and luxuries of the west. After a few years he'll think we forgot about him, he'll travel somewhere, not the US but somewhere nice he thinks he can sneak off to for some vacation and a taste of his old life. He won't do the homework to be sure that place won't extradite him. Then Pow! he'll be in custody, and headed home for justice...

[Jilly_in_VA]

53. Do NOT allow him back

EVER. And for good measure, let's drop the rest of them over there, or better yet, in Putin's lap. They don't like democracy, let them live without it.

And I bet his dear wife divorces him. Wanna put money on that?

[area51]

54. "... that in my native country there were such problems."

Problems that you caused, Neumann.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

55. Confiscate his bank accounts and property, and make it illegal for anyone in the US

to support him financially.

He is an enemy of our country. Make him work to support himself in his beloved new fascist fatherland.

[dchill]

56. I would like to thank Evan Neumann for his...

... contribution to my ongoing education about what USA!USA!USA! means to Trump Patriots.
