Can we simply accept the reality that the Rethuglican Party no longer pretends to be anything but a fascist party?
Here’s the story. One Derrick Evans will appear at the Delaware Colonial Region Of Republicans ‘Spirit Of Freedom’ Dinner as the guest speaker.
Here is what the Delaware Colonial Region Of Republicans encompasses:
The Colonial Region is composed of the 5th, 8th, 9th, 15th, 17th, 18th and 27th, representative districts. It stretches from the Maryland State border to the Delaware Memorial Bridge and down the coast to the southern New Castle County border. It includes sections of New Castle, Newark, Middletown, Odessa, and Townsend.
8th and 9th ( Middletown area, Odessa, Townsend)
5th, 15th, 17th, 18th & 27th ( New Castle and Newark).
Who is Derrick Evans? This guy:
Two years to the day after storming the U.S. Capitol, a former West Virginia state lawmaker who served prison time for his role in the riot said Friday that he hopes to return to the scene of his crime as an elected official.
Derrick Evans, who livestreamed himself on Facebook cheering on what he described as a “revolution” at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, announced he will run for a U.S. House seat in 2024.
The announcement struck a markedly different tone from the remorse he expressed as he stood before a federal judge at his sentencing in June.
Evans, 37, pleaded guilty to a felony civil disorder charge and served a three-month sentence for participating in the riot. At his sentencing, Evans told the judge he regretted his actions every day and is a “good person who unfortunately was caught up in a moment.
After his release in October, Evans began criticizing the federal government’s prosecutions of Capitol riot defendants. His statement Friday described the prosecutions as a “miscarriage” of justice. Despite his contrition at sentencing, Evans said his “resolve never waned.”
Got it. An unrepentant felon/insurrectionist will be the Rethugs’ featured speaker at a campaign event.
Does nobody have a problem with that? Kevin Hensley? That’s your district. Got anything to say?
