Posobiec later said his statements were partly satire,
In another video, Sánchez can be seen in the lobby of the conference hotel giving a Nazi salute.
In one of the most viral moments from this year’s conference, conservative personality Jack Posobiec called for the end of democracy and a more explicitly Christian-focused government. While Posobiec later said his statements were partly satire, many CPAC attendees embraced his and others’ invocations of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.
Remarks like these should be unequivocally disqualifying!

this person is a fucking judge
“How about some of the reporting I’ve seen on my decision? Can I get those people arrested? Just because I disagree with how they characterize what I say and do?” Carney asked.
If you do get an interview with the fascist propagandist, they’re likely to use it to troll you and to claim to their supporters, once you publish your story, that they were taken out of context and that you failed to publish all the clever things they said.

This is what happens when faux controversies and concocted bogeymen become entrenched in the mainstream media’s consensus narrative: Even judges who are supposed to only consider evidence in the context of their court proceedings can let these narratives influence, if not dictate, their legal judgment and jurisprudence.

As Wheeler notes, a proper comparison “would make it clear that Federal authorities treated Trump’s supporters far too lightly, not the opposite.” This is similar to what we saw throughout the five years of Proud Boys protests in Portland with local authorities as well a federal ones.
I bet this guy isn’t nearly so credulous & lenient to a lot of other types of defendants. Interesting how gently he treats violent Nazis.

It’s wild how many US judges seem to just be classic dumb guy types
Yet despite the fact that there was voluminous evidence that this was utterly false—evidence reviewed by prosecutors earlier in the hearing—Carney persisted in privileging the defendant’s attempts to depict their intentions as neutral and nonviolent.

At a panel session Wednesday, right-wing conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec said without irony or sarcasm, “I just wanted to say, welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on January 6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it.”
Trump didn’t cause these people to be fascist bigots. He gave them permission to be open about it.
