More wounded MAGA tears and whining to come.

Proud Boys cry during sentencing for US Capitol attack

Two former far-right Proud Boys leaders have been jailed for 17 years and 15 years for seditious conspiracy after storming the US Capitol in a failed bid to overturn Donald Trump’s 2020 election defeat.

Rehl broke down crying as he read a statement to the court.

“I regret involving myself with any of it,” he said. He added he let politics consume his life and he “lost track of who and what matters.”

He also apologised for letting his family down and asked if Kelly could send him to a federal prison close to his home.

Prosecutors calculated their sentencing recommendation for Rehl, in part, based on evidence he committed perjury when he took the stand in his own defence during the trial and lied about assaulting police with a chemical spray.

“You did spray that officer and you lied about it,” Kelly told him, adding these were “bad facts”.

Biggs apologised for his actions as he faced Kelly, choking up as he spoke about his daughter whom he said was a sexual assault victim who needs him while he has been locked up.

“I was seduced by the crowd, and I just moved forward. My curiosity got the better of me,” said Biggs.

“I’m not a terrorist. I don’t have hate in my heart.”
