"Kennedy’s statement comes after his campaign sent fundraising emails earlier this week that referred to January 6 defendants as “activists” who have been “stripped of their constitutional liberties.”
On Thursday, Kennedy campaign spokesperson Stefanie Spear told CNN the language in the fundraising email “does not reflect Mr. Kennedy’s views” and said Kennedy believes those who “violated the law” in connection to January 6 “should be subject to appropriate criminal and/or civil penalties.”

Because there are both types of people that were there…
There were some people there that did just want to be heard, thought they were there for a good cause, and maybe we’re a bit of an idiot in the way they got on camera…
And then there were legitimate what I would call “semi terrorists” that deserve to be in prison for a long time because they had true nefarious plans.

Do you feel that the 730 people who pled guilty did so erroneously and/or the 170 cases that were decided by a judge or jury were unfairly convicted? If so, on what basis?

"He continued, “I have not examined the evidence in detail, but reasonable people, including Trump opponents, tell me there is little evidence of a true insurrection.”
The statement inaccurately says that none of the protesters had plans to overthrow the government, even though some of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers were convicted of sedition. It also repeated the long-debunked claim that the rioters “carried no weapons” while attacking the Capitol, which Kennedy later said he was retracting when reached by CNN for comment."
