This is why the Matthew Perna Act is so important for President Trump and J6 defendants to move trials out of DC in order to receive a fair trial.

You probably already guessed what the Matthew Perna Act is based on the content of this self-home-wrecking white nationalist’s tweet. Who it’s named after and why is something extra fucking stupid and lame: Matthew Perna was a Capitol rioter who for some goddamned reason killed himself in February 2022, ahead of his sentencing, after having pleaded guilty in December 2021 to a felony charge of obstruction of Congress. His co-defendant, Steven Ayers, famous for his testimony to the House January 6th Select Committee, ended up getting two years probation for cooperating.
Perna had at least believed that he was facing up to 20 years and, believe us that we tried to get a straight answer on what the hell happened with regard to a plea deal, even sitting through a freaking tediously melodramatic two part Lara Logan investigative special that put a lot of blame on Perna’s defenase lawyer, we still have no idea if federal prosecutors were really fucking him over that badly.
There’s simply too much MAGA bullshit and propaganda containing too few facts about the circumstances surrounding the case against Perna. A preponderance of evidence suggests he was likely to see little if any time behind bars and just killed himself due to mental health problems.
But that’s almost neither here nor there because this dumb piece of shit Marjorie Taylor Greene and/or her buddies are naming their bill after an insurrectionist who never faced a jury.
