Patrick Stedman promises to unlock the secrets of female psychology for his online followers. But at his sentencing Friday, one woman — U.S District Judge Beryl A. Howell — appeared baffled by him.
Prosecutors alleged Stedman spent more than 45 minutes inside the Capitol building — shouting at police, snapping selfies and documenting much of it for the thousands who followed his social media accounts.“Will eventually be a national holiday akin to the 4th of July,” he wrote in a post on Twitter. “You will want to tell your grandchildren you were there.”His efforts to drum up interest drew at least 11 of Stedman’s online followers to Washington that day, Assistant U.S.
He later joined a mob that attempted to break down the door to the House chamber — an act of aggression that led Capitol police to shoot one member of the mob, Ashli Babbitt. “Stedman … was part of a massive riot that almost succeeded in preventing the certification vote from being carried out, frustrating the peaceful transition of presidential power and throwing the United States into a Constitutional crisis,” Morgan wrote in court filings in advance of sentencing.
Howell, on Friday, called that comparison “offensive” and questioned Stedman’s continued social media popularity.
