After pleading guilty to a felony charge in the deadly riot at the United States Capitol, former West Virginia lawmaker Derrick Evans appeared before a federal judge to express remorse for letting down his family and community, saying he made a “crucial mistake”.
Less than a year later, Evans is portraying himself as a victim of a politically motivated prosecution as he runs to serve in the same building he stormed on January 6, 2021. Evans is now calling the US Justice Department’s prosecutions over the attack a “miscarriage of justice” and describes himself on Twitter as a “J6 Patriot”.
“Some ppl have said I need to apologize and condemn #J6 if I want to win my election as the media will attack me,” he tweeted recently, after announcing his bid for a seat in the US House of Representatives in 2024. “I will not compromise my values or beliefs. That’s what politicians do. We need Patriots not politicians.”
