Man Found Guilty of Threatening Democrats After Capitol Riot

(I searched for this guy's name on Fox News but the story search came up empty for some reason)

Two days after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, Brenden Hunt published a video urging Donald Trump’s supporters to kill Democratic politicians. A viewer notified the F.B.I., and Mr. Hunt was arrested that same month.

Prosecutors presented evidence that Mr. Hunt repeatedly posted threatening language against members of Congress, motivated by his anti-Semitic belief that the government was controlled by a Jewish conspiracy.

On Wednesday, after a weeklong trial in Brooklyn, a jury concluded that Mr. Hunt’s words were not protected by the First Amendment. He was found guilty of making a threat to kill members of Congress, a federal crime that carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

It is horrible what a citizen urges fellow citizens to harm members of congress, but it is acceptable for a member of congress to tell pissed off demonstrators outside a courthouse to get confrontational if the defendant is not found guilty. At least we all know the rules now.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Apples and Oranges. They aren't the same, even though some may think they are.

BTW, I thought you were talking about Trump goading the insurrectionists on Jan. 6 in that second example. Then I realized he did more than tell them to get confrontational.
