1/6 sentencing Judge: "He went to the capital in support of one man, not in support of our country."
HAPPENING NOW: At sentencing hearing for Jan. 6 misdemeanor defendant Carl Mazzocco, Judge CHUTKAN sharply rejects comparison between 1/6 rioters and George Floyd protestors.
"I flatly disagree," she said.
"To compare the actions of people protesting, mostly peacefully, for civil rights to those of a violent mob seeking to overthrow the lawfully elected government is a false equivalency," Chutkan said.
Chutkan also references Trump: "He went to the capital in support of one man, not in support of our country. "
