How the Jan. 6 US Capitol riot divided this family

Jackson Reffitt, who reported his father for participating in the January 6 Capitol attack, doesn’t want Trump to let his dad out of prison early. Jackson’s mom is fighting for pardons and other forms of clemency for her husband and other January 6 convicts. Jackson’s dad, Guy Reffitt, was charged with five felonies, including carrying a firearm on Capitol grounds. CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan speaks to mother and son. #cnn #cnnnews

This video is for those folks who think this is yesterday's news so why bother talking about it anymore. Thanks for giving background to how the insurrection is still affecting people.
Best wishes to the son.

I hope that kid keeps his head on his shoulders cause not a lot of people around MAGA can say much without being called a woke programmed snowflake. I am a white dude in a MAGA town and I am very vocal. Theories are not facts. Seek facts regardless of political party, friends and family views

A political protest is not a riot.
Ray Epps was there and he made sure this was a political protest only.

He knows he's a traitor to his family. So he's worried about somebody getting him for being a piece of crap. His mom and dad probably sacrifice their whole life for that little bastard. That is the definition of an ingrate.

Anyone who has listened to all the interviews with this family knows Guy’s anxiety around his father, and the exposure reporting him has caused, is not based on nothing. Guy’s wife has admitted to things like “you just can’t win an argument with Giy because however mad you are, he will just get angrier”.
In arguments, Guy has put his hands around her neck and choked her.
He has put a gun to her head.
She has admitted that these things happened, and expressed newfound freedom and relief that he was in prison, because if he began to get abusive on a phone call, she could just hang up and he couldn’t do anything.
Guy’s son, pictured here, was the only family member standing up to say “this is not ok!!” When he did things like that.
He also told his children that “traitors get shot” suggesting if they told anyone about his association with illegal activities around resisting the election outcome, they could be killed.
Guy’s wife is in some level of denial, or putting on a different face in public than what she really feels,
and I am worried for her if he is released.

“Keep my dad in jail because I have anxiety” that’s all I heard

Classical Greek tragedy… Struggle between conscience and family ties

Liz Cheney will be going through some things

[HorsePower]

He betrayed his father for the democrat party

[jameszclark]

No one is going to retaliate against this guy.

He is a coward.

I remember the capitol police holding the doors open

She thinks those red hats aren't dangerous. Well, some people might mistake em for target practice. 😂
