Because of Fox he got 7 years in prison

McCaughey's legal team said that his actions were "motivated by a misunderstanding as to the facts surrounding the 2020 election" and that he "knew next to nothing about the 2020 election and listened to sources of information that were clearly false."
 
In a letter to the court, McCaughey’s sister wrote that her brother has been radicalized because of their father, who only played two TV channels in their home: “Fox News and Turner Classic Movies.” Things “would get ugly” if you disagreed with the elder McCaughey, she wrote, writing that her father attempted “to convert everyone around him to the glory that was Donald Trump to him.” McCaughey’s sister noted that her brother’s “entire livelihood depended on having a good relationship with my father.”
 
His family can sue Fox just like anyone else, but he is an adult and responsible for his own actions. He got off lucky with half the sentence the prosecution wanted.


Federal prosecutors sought a sentence of more than 15 years — 188 months — in federal prison, which would have broken the record for the longest sentence in a Jan. 6 case: the 10-year sentence given to former New York City Police Department officer Thomas Webster.

When the son gets out of prison, he can go home and break daddy's kneecaps. LOL

From the OP link:
McCaughey’s grandmother wrote that he told her “that he was a DUMMY to have been present on January 6th in Washington,” while his mother noted that McCaughey’s father was “a fervent Trump supporter and ‘anti-masker’.”

Never make your livelihood dependent on Daddy, is my take on things. Blaze your own path.
 
This wealthy guy buying Thomas was started off in life with mountains of his daddy’s money

Republicans have a habit of nominating trust fund babies, but I think a better perspective on life is making your own way in the world, independent of Daddy.
 
I see that no Trump fans have posted here. Is that because they see this as part of the witch hunt against their poor persecuted führer? Or do they think this guy was part of Antifa, who were responsible for all the violence?

Beat me to it.

What a novel defense: "He's not guilty because his father made him watch Fox."

My best guess is that too many of them are wondering if their wives, kids or mistresses will be turning them in for participating in the coup attempt. Yes, even those outside the magnetometers. A conspiracy to overthrow the US government doesn't require the person to be beating police and breaking windows in Congres.

My understanding of the plan was to takeover Congress allowing Pedo Don to use his martial law powers to control Washington, D.C. At that point, all the Threepers, Proud Boys and other WSE dumbasses who were waiting outside the secured perimeter (the metal detectors) would be invited in as Pedo Don's personal choice of security. In Wacko World, it'd go with a Pedo Don speech like this: "Since the Lying Liberal government and their loser, traitor soldiers can't be trusted, I've ordered special forces to secure our Capitol. Proud Boys, step forward!"

Here's the thing. Anyone who participated in that plan is guilty of treason, sedition, call it whatever you like. These motherfuckers tried to violently overthrow our government. They will be hunted down just like 1960s terrorists, foreign and domestic. It doesn't matter how many fucking years it takes, they will go down.

How? Mainly because of their own personalities. These people are violent dumbasses with guns. They've repeatedly made violent threats against JPP members. They are so fucking stupid they deny their own words as quoted in posts and expect all other JPP members to be stupid enough to believe them.

What was that Goebbels thing about repeating a lie? Regardless of dingo-fucking Down Under dumbasses, Thai criminals and the fat assed baby brothers, demented geezers and flatout whackjobs who live in America, these dumbasses believe they can win through violence and intimidation.
