A DC federal court on Thursday sentenced failed Republican Michigan gubernatorial candidate Ryan Kelley to 60 days in prison following his guilty plea to several misdemeanor charges over his participation in the January 6th, 2021 MAGA insurrection at the US Capitol, NBC News reports.
Kelley, who was not one of the five candidates who were disqualified in the 2022 ballot petition forgery scam, had briefly led in the polls of the primary field – even after the arrest, but came in fourth against former B-movie actress Tudor Dixon after fat former President Trump endorsed her. Dixon was then crushed by 10 points against incumbent Dem Governor Gretchen Whitmer in November, so it’s hard to see how Kelley would’ve done much better while facing the charges.
