Texan Guy Reffitt was indicted for his role in the assault on our Capitol. He went on trial in March and was found guilty on 5 felony counts. Today, he was sentenced to 7 years and 3 months in prison. Given this was a federal crime he will do every minute of that time.
So far, Reffitt is one of 7 Capitol insurrectionists to get a jury trial. Jurors have unanimously convicted all 7 of them on all counts in their indictments.
Father of the year Riffitt told his kids (they gave sworn testimony of it) they would be traitors if they reported him to authorities, he went on to say to them "traitors get shot".
Reffitt was armed with a Smith & Wesson pistol, carrying zip tie handcuffs, wearing body armor and a helmet equipped with a video camera.
In sentencing, the judge referred to Reffitt as a threat to our democracy.
