It is reported that Kevin Seefried, age 53, tearfully apologized, saying he never wanted to send a message of hate to anyone. He carried a Confederate flag to the Stop the Steal rally on J6. He and his son climbed through a broken window. Prosecutors claim Kevin was the 12th person to illegally enter the Capitol building.
Inside Kevin jabbed at guard with the end of the flagpole, using it as a weapon. He was part of the group that chased guard up stairs. The officer lead the rioters away from chambers where VP Pence and Senators were being evacuated. Goodman testified that Seefried asked where members of Congress were counting the votes and said “You can shoot me, man, but we’re coming in.”
His son, Hunter Seefried, then age 22 was sentenced to two years in prison.
Seefried claims he did not know that the Confederate flag is considered a symbol of racism. I guess he also did not know that it is an Anti-American symbol, representing southern states that did not want to be part of the U.S. of A. Seems to me his tears are that he is going to jail. Even 22 year old son should know the south lost the civil war.
