Protester Caught Storming US Capitol, Pleads with Court for Light Sentence Because He Is Not Trump Supporter

Robert Maurice Reeder was arrested after he was caught inside the US Capitol on January 6th.

Reeder was about to get a light sentence this week after telling the judge he is “not a Trump supporter” and because of this he demanded a light sentence. And he was about to get a very small sentence with an excellent plea deal because of this.

But then a video turned up before his sentencing of Robert Reeder attacking police on Jaunary 6th.

Robert Reeder told authorities:

He was watching television coverage of a pro-Trump crowd which had gathered for a speeches on the Ellipse, when he made a spur-of-the-moment decision to hop a train into Washington, D.C., to join the event. After listening to the oratory on the Ellipse, he says he visited various area monuments before arriving at the U.S. Capitol and joining the “initially festive” events which by then were transpiring… He pleaded guilty to one of those counts — count four — and was due to be sentenced Wednesday.

Then video was discovered of Democrat Robert Reeder which shows him attacking a police officer on Jan. 6.

For the record, there were Antifa gatherings at the various monuments on Jan. 6 that were organized by John Sullivan.
