A recent NPR article detailing the split between Jan. 6 terrorists jailed in Washington, D.C. also revealed a lot about the mindset of the Capitol attackers.

The article focused on the factionalism of the prisoners. Apparently, the prisoners are squabbling about the money raised for the so-called “J6 prisoners.” In addition, some prisoners are even more radical and racist than others.

However, I was fascinated by some of the other stories revealed in the article.

One of the most disturbing aspects of the article was the fact that a nonprofit has raised almost $1 million for the Jan. 6 terrorists. According to NPR, the Patriotic Freedom Fund has raised $900,000 for Jan. 6 defendants. Convicted felon and conspiracy theorist Dinesh D’Souza has donated $100,000 to the fund.
