  • A man who pleaded guilty to a felony for participation in the Capitol riot filed a letter showing he was invited by a retired congressman to attend the inauguration.
The article from ABC News discusses how Derrick Evans, a former West Virginia state lawmaker who was convicted for his role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, was invited by former President Donald Trump to a rally in Chesapeake, Virginia. Evans, who served three months in prison after pleading guilty to a felony charge of civil disorder, has since become a vocal supporter of Trump and has been campaigning for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. His invitation to the rally, where he was seen with Trump, underscores the ongoing political support and rehabilitation within certain GOP circles for those involved in the Capitol riot. This event highlights the complex dynamics within the Republican Party regarding the January 6th insurrection, with some members and supporters viewing participants like Evans not as criminals but as political allies or even victims of political persecution.
