Robert Palmer Destroyed His Life for Trump. Let Him Be an Example
MAGA terrrorist gets five years for following false idol
Dear Trumpists. Please remember the name, Robert Scott Palmer. Palmer was one of the army of Trump terrorists who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6. Unfortunately, he has the unique reputation of receiving the longest sentence of all the people prosecuted.
A judge recently sentenced Palmer to five years in prison. He was punished for assaulting police officers with planks of wood and a fire extinguisher.
Palmer was so tanked up on right-wing propaganda, he thought he could fight police on TV and not suffer any repercussions.
However, U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan admonished Palmer and the so-called patriot movement during her final statement, according to The Washington Post.
“Look behind you,” said Chutkan. “Those are U.S. marshals. They ran from this courthouse. They put themselves in danger to protect the occupants of the Capitol. That’s what they’re sworn to do. They’re the patriots. The people working in the Capitol that night, they are patriots.”
