Edward Jake Lang, recently pardoned by President Trump after his involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, is considering a run for Congress in New York's 19th District. Lang, who has a history of fundraising for Jan. 6-related causes, claims that his actions during the riot were a resistance against a 'tyrannical regime' led by 'Beijing Joe Biden.' He highlights the violent nature of the events, where he purportedly defended himself against law enforcement, and expresses intentions to leverage his support network for a political campaign, citing the need for confrontational dialogue.
Lang's claim that these individuals acted against a tyranny suggests a belief among some that the events of Jan. 6 represent a legitimate protest against an illegitimate government.
While addressing his plans for a political campaign, Lang boasted about fundraising, indicating a strong potential for financial support from like-minded individuals.
