Tearful Jan 6 rioter freed by Trump given life sentence for molesting 11-year-old boy

He says he's very sorry for what he did to that boy.

As anyone with a functioning brain cell could have predicted, Donald Trump’s decision to free hundreds of violent, insane criminals has blown up in his face. What did he think would happen if you let a give these drooling lunatics a pat on the head for giving in to their worst impulses?

Well, imagine no longer, as Andrew Paul Johnson, a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter, has been sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty in February of multiple child sexual abuse charges involving an 11-year-old boy.

Johnson wept as the judge passed down the sentence, pleading that he was sorry for what he’d done.

Trust me, you don’t need to feel a molecule of sympathy for this monster. Soon after Trump released Johnson from prison, he hopped on Discord and began tracking down young boys as his future victims.

He started speaking to an 11-year-old and engaged in what was described as ”inappropriate” conversations with him. That escalated to Johnson sending the boy an iPhone and telling him to keep it a “secret” from his parents, so he could continue to manipulate him at all times.

Johnson gradually began escalating the situation, which eventually saw him sneaking into the boy’s home to molest him without his parents’ knowledge. The boy reported that this escalated to three incidents of molestation between April and October 2024.

None of this would have happened if Trump had kept him behind bars

In a telling twist, Johnson attempted to leverage his popularity with Trump to bribe the boy to keep quiet, with the affidavit saying that “since he was pardoned for storming the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, and he was being awarded $10,000,000 as a result of being a “jan 6’er” … that he would be putting him in his ‘will’ to take any money he had left over.”

Johnson was arrested in Tennessee in August and extradited to Florida, where he pleaded not guilty to multiple counts of child abuse. A jury didn’t believe him, convicting him on charges of molesting a child under 12 and another under 16, and lewd and lascivious exhibition.

It probably goes without saying that, once again, those who loudly and aggressively accuse liberals of sexual perversion are up to some far, far, more heinous stuff when they think nobody’s watching. But, as always with MAGA, every accusation is a confession.

Let’s just hope Trump doesn’t pardon this chomo again.
