See Trump Jan. 6 Rioter Go To Jail - The Beat - MSNBC



A judge handed down the first felony sentence stemming from the January 6th insurrection, a step toward accountability that the DOJ says will deter terror threats. Convicted MAGA rioter Paul Hodgkins will serve eight months. MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber reports on the development and quotes Vince Staples to explain the sentence. Aired on 07/19/2021.

People died. And at what point did he think he would have stayed outside if he’d known things would go the way they did? By the time he entered the building, the insurrectionists had broken windows, kicked down barriers and physically attacked police - that wasn’t enough to make him reassess his position?

People died. People called for the death of the Vice President and others, and he gets 8 months? What about joint enterprise, what about treason, what about terrorism?
