Marc Bru repeatedly interrupted chief judge before the sentence was handed down, calling him a ‘clown’ and a ‘fraud’

A man who stormed the US Capitol with fellow Proud Boys far-right extremist group members was sentenced on Wednesday to six years in prison after he berated and insulted the judge who punished him.

Marc Bru repeatedly interrupted chief judge James Boasberg before the sentence was handed down, calling him a “clown” and a “fraud” presiding over a “kangaroo court”.

The judge warned Bru that he could be kicked out of the courtroom if he continued to disrupt the proceedings.

“You can give me 100 years and I’d do it all over again,” said Bru, who was handcuffed and shackled.

“That’s the definition of no remorse in my book,” the judge said.

    Trump doesn’t care about these useful idiots.

    They can’t scratch his back, he won’t even acknowledge them let alone pardon them.

            Trump is a malignant narcissist. Other people barely exist to him, unless they are actively fawning over him at that very moment. The guy is incapable of long term planning.

              Yes, but people around him are able to convince him “Hi, Mr President, you know these guys… Yeah, it’s in your best interest to pardon them because XYZ…”

                  True, he has the intelligence of a zombie, the greatest zombie there ever was… But you don’t need to be smart to do a lot of damage, we’ve seen quite a lot of that.

                  Don’t see how that’s relevant. He insults people to their faces and they still miss his feet.
