The Biden administration continues to suppress the manifesto of the leftist terrorist for political reasons.  The only real banned writing in the US despite the fake leftist talking points.  It is "too dangerous" for the public according to Big Brother.  The parents and citizens of Nashville apparently can't handle the truth.  Old Joe decides what information the public can have.  Like his efforts to censor dissent on social media and suppress the Hunter laptop story.

Florida man gets prison term for his role in the attack on the Capitol

27-year-old Christian Matthew Manley from Fort Walton Beach was sentenced Tuesday in federal court in the District of Columbia, according to court records.



A Florida man has been sentenced to four years and two months in federal prison for attacking police officers during the insurrection and storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Christian Matthew Manley, 27, of Fort Walton Beach, Florida, was sentenced Tuesday in federal court in the District of Columbia, according to court records. He pleaded guilty in November to assaulting, resisting and impeding law enforcement while using a dangerous weapon.

According to court documents, Manley joined with others in objecting to Democrat Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory over then-President Donald Trump. A mob stormed the Capitol in an attempt to stop Congress from certifying election results for Biden over Trump, a Republican, authorities have said. Five people died in the violence.

According to the criminal complaint, Manley was captured on video outside the Capitol wearing a flak jacket and armed with bear spray, a collapsible police baton and handcuffs. Video shows Manley spraying bear spray at U.S. Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police Department officers as they defended an entrance from rioters.

Manley threw the empty bear spray container at officers, then sprayed a second cannister at officers before throwing it at them, prosecutors said. A short time later, Manley accepted a metal rod from another rioter and threw it at the officers, investigators said. They added that Manley also wedged his body against a wall in a tunnel and used force to push the security door against officers defending the Capitol.

Since Jan. 6, 2021, more than 1,000 people have been arrested in nearly all 50 states for alleged crimes related to the Capitol breach, officials said. More than 320 people have been charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement.

Tucker Carlson Was Obsessed with Blaming Jan. 6 Insurrection on FBI, Ex Producer Says

Fired Fox News host Tucker Carlson was hellbent on spinning a conspiracy theory that the FBI had instigated the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, said former producer Abby Grossberg, who is suing the station for alleged discrimination

In an interview on MSNBC, Grossberg said Carlson was obsessed with “finding an FBI person who was implanted in the crowd” in order to suggest the riot was a false flag by the government.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy turned over 41,000 hours of Jan. 6 security footage to Fox, which Carlson cherry-picked to peddle a false narrative.

Tucker was “spinning this conspiracy that they were ultimately the ones responsible for the Capitol attack, not Fox News as they’re about to go into the Dominion trial,” Grossberg said.

“It was really the FBI that set up this thing, not Fox telling the American people that the election was rigged and the voting machines did it.”

At one point, Grossberg said she talked to an attorney representing one of the Proud Boys “and he flat-out told me, on two occasions, ‘there is no conspiracy. Get away from this stuff. This is dangerous. Tell Tucker to stop. I’ll come on your show and represent and my client. But I absolutely will walk off if he asks me this.’ And the response was, ‘Well, find somebody else, Tucker is really intent on this.’”
