First, a reminder of the latest Brandon Staka news:
A federal judge reprimanded a prominent pro-Trump social media personality and Jan. 6 Capitol riot defendant for making “questionable” comments in the media about his plea agreement and cooperation with law enforcement.
Those comments, U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich said, were “inconsistent” with what he previously told the court.
“He’s losing more and more credibility by the moment,” Friedrich said at the hearing, which was held via teleconference. Judge Friedrich said the defendant, Brandon Straka, was possibly opening himself up to prosecution for lying to federal investigators.
This afternoon Straka will co-host a breakout session at CPAC Texas titled “You’re Next: The Rise of the Democratic Gulag.”
Also on the panel are insurrectionist Rep. Andy Briggs, subpoenaed cultist Kash Patel, and the definitely not-gay and never-married Jeffrey Lord, who was shitcanned by CNN a few years ago.
In advance of his CPAC panel, Straka has been engaging in performance art via a mock prison cell erected alongside his WalkAway display.
I can’t tell if the man in the video is actually Straka, but if he’s just a lookalike, that’s surely on purpose.

“Mom, it’s me… Trigger… I did it, I finally got an acting job!!”
“Oh wow! What’s the job? TV? A movie? A theatre show?”
“Well, not quite… so I sit in a cage, like a prison cell… at this thing called CPAC. And I cry in a MAGA hat all day.”
“…”
“Mom? You there… mom…?”

First they came for the people who violently stormed the Capitol to try overturning the results of a national election.
And I said nothing, because I was not a person who violently stormed the Capitol to try overturning the results of a national election… https://t.co/yBrsXSn55D
