J6 Defendant Calls Into Charlie Kirk's Show, And It Gets Pretty Weird

Jan. 6 defendants certainly have a different perception of themselves than the rest of us. For example, there is Edward Jacob Lang from New York, a Jan. 6 defendant who called into Turning Point USA's Charlie Kirk's show to enlighten all of us. According to Lang, the pro-coup d'État alleged rioters were chosen by God. Trying to understand Lang's line of thinking is mentally exhausting.

"Well, Charlie, you know, this situation that I find myself in has been predestined by our Father God in heaven," Lang said. "And all of the January 6th years, the fact that we've been chosen by God to suffer for righteousness sake is a great grace in His kingdom."

"And so my hope and my drive and my perseverance comes from knowing that Jesus is with me through this, that this is kind of the allotment of a disciple," he continued. This is what the actual, you know if the world hates you, know that it hated me first."

"This is what it looks like, the tangibility of being a Christian, of being a patriot in today's day and age," he insisted. "You can't be a conservative constitutionalist and actually stand for the values that you believe in without being persecuted in this country."
