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.

    2,190 days where I’ll be out in the sunshine, eating delicious food, playing with my kids, and he’ll be stuck inside most of the time eating prison food lol.

      But he’s proving he’s a ‘true patriot’! Plus he’ll get to make friends with more white supremacist shitheads, and nurture his seething anger against a society that scares him profoundly.

      …Yeah, like you, I’d take the freedom too. But one thing the last several years has taught me: some people’s preferred reality is an absolute fucking nightmare, and they like it that way. They love twerking for an elderly, bloviated, thin-skinned narcissistic TV celebrity with horrible personal hygiene and makeup preferences. And nothing will change their minds.
