Woman invited to speak at Trump rally thinks her Nazi-sympathizing J6er nephew was victimized

She founded the J6 Patriot Freedom Project.

See the Twitter thread below AND the news articles with the tweets to see what this "victimized" admirer of Hitler has done and said. Including his ridiculous claim that he didn't know Congress met at the Capitol.

1. He says that he is half Jewish and half Puerto Rican?

His last name is hyphenated as Hale-Cusanelli. Why did he leave out the English and Italian origins of his name?

[highplainsdem]

5. He's apparently lying in some of his statements.

[wnylib]

7. So it would seem.

3. When you walk, talk and groom yourself to look like Hitler...

When you walk, talk and groom yourself to look like Hitler, you have shown us who you are Timmy.

Interesting article, lots of background. States that Cynthia was a family friend and not his aunt..

A former Army reservist and security guard at a Naval weapons station was found guilty on all counts for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Prosecutors portrayed Timothy Hale-Cusanelli of New Jersey as an extremist, who hoped for a second "civil war." The government presented evidence of Hale-Cusanelli using racist, antisemitic and anti-gay slurs, yelling obscenities at officers protecting the Capitol, and later enthusiastically boasting about breaching the building to a roommate. As jurors heard at trial, that roommate was secretly wearing a recording device on behalf of investigators with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) and the FBI.

Hale-Cusanelli's defense did not dispute that he entered the building. As the defendant himself put it when he testified in his own defense, "I should not have been there." Instead, the defense argued that Hale-Cusanelli was prone to making "bombastic," "offensive," and "extreme" comments, which generally amounted to more talk than action. He was not charged with assaulting police or causing property damage. The defense also argued that Hale-Cusanelli did not travel to Washington with the specific goal of storming the Capitol, let alone disrupting the electoral count. Hale-Cusanelli testified that he could not have intended to disrupt Congress that day, because he did not realize that the Capitol was where Congress met.

"It sounds idiotic and it is," Hale-Cusanelli testified. He said it was "embarrassing" to admit he lacked that basic knowledge. Prosecutors said that claim defied common sense, especially since Hale-Cusanelli texted friends about the electoral count process and he studied American history in community college.

4. Thanks, sheshe! Very interesting article. Re what it says about Hughes being a

friend, though - there's video on Twitter, including of her speech at today's rally, where she calls him her nephew. RW Twitter accounts, so I don't want to post the tweets here. Jack Posobiec posted the tweet with video of her speech today about her poor "languishing" nephew.

12. I hope the judge keeps the POS in jail.

Late and didn't dig up much else, yet will never trust what a trump-wit says.

Goddesses, this country is so effed up right now. I sure hope we can fix this, hpd. Some of us are getting on in age and not all that much more time to change it.

[highplainsdem]

18. So do I.

17. Thanks. With our messed-up prison system, he'll be a hero inside and become more extreme.

where he looked like that to be "ironical", then returned to a normal, regular way of looking bc that sure as hell ain't normal!

But if he's walking around like this all the time!

Then I think you've shown us who you are, bub.
