NBC News reports:
Former President Donald Trump embraced a Jan. 6 defendant at a diner during a campaign stop Thursday night, calling the woman, who served prison time for her actions during the Capitol attack and wants former Vice President Mike Pence executed for treason, “terrific.” Larson-Olson said she believes that the members of Congress who voted to certify Biden’s presidential election should be executed.
The punishment for treason is death, per the Constitution,” Larson-Olson said. “I believe every single person, every single person that stole a voice from our collective voice of ‘We the people, of the people, for the people, by the people,’ deserves death, and no less than that.” Larson-Olson added that she “would like a front seat of Mike Pence being executed” and that he should be the “No. 1” person on her list of those who committed treason.
Read the full article. As I reported earlier today, Larson-Olson belongs to a QAnon subset that believes JFK Jr. is alive and will be Trump’s running mate.
NEW: The Jan. 6 defendant Donald Trump embraced last night is a QAnon conspiracy theorist who wants Mike Pence executed for treason.
Hugging Donald Trump, she told me, felt like what she imagines it would be like to hug Jesus Christ.https://t.co/okXJASgZy9

“The punishment for treason is death, per the Constitution… every single person that stole a voice from our collective voice of ‘We the people, of the people, for the people, by the people,’ deserves death, and no less than that.” https://t.co/okXJASgZy9

Fox News and Jim Jordan seem to have concluded that embracing Jan. 6 defendants and turning them into heroes is political poison (and in Fox News’ case, could be very costly!).
Donald Trump is taking a different path.https://t.co/okXJASgZy9

Donald Trump hugs Micki Larson-Olson, a woman convicted after storming the Capitol on January 6th, and signs her backpack she carried into the Capitol to try to overthrow the U.S. government.

QAnon Jan 6’er Micki Larson-Olson is as #MAGACult as it gets. She’s retitled military and attends 100’s of Trump events a year, plus JFK sightings in Dallas. She estranged from both of her adult children and just got released from her 80 days for Jan 6. in 3/23. #Jan6Insurrection https://t.co/w15B3Q7ySQ pic.twitter.com/7VsuWevmFK
