In addition to Biggs, another fmr #FarRight #ProudBoys ldr #ZacharyRehl was #sentenced today. Rehl is to serve 15 years in #prison, after a #jury #convicted him of #SeditiousConspiracy for storming the US Capitol in a failed bid to overturn #Trump's #2020election defeat.
The prison terms handed down by US Dist Judge Timothy Kelly for #Biggs & #Rehl, …sentenced for the #Jan6, 2021, attack, were below US #SentencingGuidelines & far lower than the 33-yr & 30-yr terms sought by #FederalProsecutors.

We have plenty of other elected officials like [Andy] #Biggs – Rep. Paul #Gosar, most of the GOP state legislative caucus & more - all with an unlimited supply of conspiracies and misleading information — Ed Montini #quote #ChaosCaucus #Republicans #SeditionCaucus #Republicans

Alex Kaplan reported in early Nov ‘22 that #ProudBoys and #StopTheSteal leader #AliAlexander claimed to have a “freedom cell” in #Brazil.
On Sunday, Alexander posted on social media platforms Gettr and Truth Social: “Tomorrow will be bigger in Brazil. Activating all blessings and networks”. He urged the Brazilian insurrectionists to “do whatever it takes”.
Alexander claims to have “hatched” the #Jan6th assault on the U.S. Capitol with Republican Congressmen #Biggs, #Brooks and #Gosar.

Later, a faction emerged of Trump loyalists within the Freedom Caucus known as the 'MAGA Squad', which included Gosar, Greene, Gaetz, Madison Cawthorn, Louie Gohmert, Mo Brooks, Andy Biggs, Scott Perry and Lauren Boebert.

What Exactly Do #McCarthy’s House GOP Opponents Want?
Arizona #Republican Andy #Biggs, another one of the original 19 anti-McCarthy #Republicans, told National Review on Tuesday that the group wanted to ensure no more omnibus bills land on the #House floor. “You’ve got to have a bill dealing with a single subject. You can’t go beyond it.

Who whudda thunk? DUH!
Why Kevin #McCarthy’s dream is in big trouble
Voters generally rejected #Republican #extremism, but the party has unfortunately moved so far toward #conspiracy and the #cult of former President Donald #Trump that many of its most untethered members – including but not limited to Rep. Lauren #Boebert
of Colorado, Marjorie Taylor #Greene of Georgia, Andy #Biggs of Arizona, Matt #Gaetz of Florida and Jim #Jordan of Ohio

Republicans are too full of shit to even govern their own party. They should never be anywhere near power of any kind.
What a bunch of absolute morons.
And this was AFTER McCarthy made a concession to allow either one, or a mere handful of House members to challenge and remove him as speaker anytime.
He handed MAGA his balls and still couldn't get it done.
So now we have the People's House entirely being held hostage by the tiniest sliver of the UltraMAGA insurrection caucus.
Basically nothing will get done without #gaetz #greene #boebert #gosar #biggs and #jordan
Gonna be a nasty two years in the 118th Congress.
#gaetz #greene #boebert #gosar #biggs #jordan #mccarthy #maga #insurrection #speakerofthehouse
No nomination for #Biggs on the second ballot, but a nomination for the man who just nominated #McCarthy? This is a hot mess.
