January 6 Protestor John Strand Joins Eric Metaxas to Talk Pardons and Restorative Justice

By The Stream Published on January 24, 2025

At AmFest, Eric Metaxas interviews John Strand, one of many unjustly imprisoned as part of the January 6, 2021 election integrity protest. Strand refused to take a fake plea deal — and as a result, spent three years in prison (some of it in solitary confinement) for daring to criticize our government. Strand speaks about the lawfare aimed at peaceful demonstrators, the two-tiered justice that spared George Floyd rioters, and the need for the Trump administration to root out the lawless prosecutors and judges who destroyed so many lives.
