nathans :ms_weed:<p>'A lot of folks followed you': Failed GOP candidate who rioted on Jan. 6 sentenced to prison</p><p>A losing 2022 GOP gubernatorial candidate in Michigan was sentenced Tuesday to 60 days in prison and hit with a $5,000 fine over his involvement in January 6, The Associated Press (AP) reports.</p><p>"I think you misused the platform that you had as a candidate for elected office to minimize, and frankly, to lie about what happened,” United States District Judge Christopher R. Cooper told Ryan Kelley, which NBC News reports is a reference to " "'fundraising appeals' he "made years after the riot where he referred to the 2020 election as stolen and called the Jan. 6 riot an 'FBI set-up.''</p><p>Per AP, the failed Republican candidate "spoke at a 'Stop the Steal' rally at the state Capitol in Lansing in November 2020, shortly after the presidential election. Kelley urged others at the rally to 'stand and fight, with the goal of preventing Democrats from stealing the election,' the FBI said."</p><p>Kelley later referred to Jan. 6 as a "'false flag' event," according to NBC, telling Cooper he was "misled into believing" ex-President Donald Trump's promise to reveal "receipts" backing his claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. </p><p>"To this day, those receipts never showed up," Kelley said.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Politics</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Michigan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Michigan</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/RyanKelley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RyanKelley</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GOP</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Jan6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jan6</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/StopTheSteal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopTheSteal</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Insurrection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Insurrection</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MAGA</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Alternet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alternet</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.alternet.org/failed-gop-candidate-jan-6/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">alternet.org/failed-gop-candid</span><span class="invisible">ate-jan-6/</span></a></p>
