A recent article in The Washington Post identifies over four dozen “J6ers” attempting to profit from their participation in the Capitol riot.

Jared explained that while some rioters are cashing in on the political moment, most Americans still reject what happened—and attempts to gain notoriety are likely to fall flat too.

“I don’t think bona fides from being arrested and released for participating in the Capitol riot are enough in this political moment to catapult anybody into the stardom they’re hoping for.”
