Prosecutors just released more body camera video footage showing the violent mob of Trump supporters using a massive Trump banner as a weapon to batter police officers at the U.S. Capitol.
The video was released in connection with 72-year-old Howard Richardson, described as a "pissed off" Donald Trump fan. The Pennsylvania man was sentenced to 46 months in prison Friday for assaulting law enforcement officers with the enormous Trump flag and joined a mob that was using a massive Trump billboard as a battering ram when rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, NBC News reports.
"Richardson also wrongly insisted that he carried a 'Back the Blue' flag on January 6 and not a Trump flag," the government said, adding (misspelling "unfazed"), according to the outlet: "Apparently unphased by the irony of using a pro-police symbol to attack a police officer, Richardson made this assertion even though the video footage clearly shows his flag is a blue and red 'Trump' flag."

And Richardson's lie can be piled on Trump's big lie. Nothing seems to be real anymore from this cult. And we can add that to the list of weapons Trump supporters used on that violent day.
