January 6th insurrection

Stewart Rhodes, a former Montanan and founder of the anti-government group, Oath Keepers, has been released from prison following President Trump’s offer of clemency for the January 6th Capitol riot defendants.

A Montana man was found guilty Wednesday of felony and misdemeanor charges related to the January 6, 2021 breach of the U.S. Capitol.

A former Republican governor of Montana chastises his party for downplaying the January 6th insurrection. A former Republican congressman (and current congressional candidate) from Montana is chastised for ethics violations. And voters may see an initiative on the ballot that could lower their property taxes and hurt funding for local services.

A year after the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Montana’s congressional delegation agrees that acts of violence should be condemned. But they disagree on how to characterize what happened and how to move forward.

President Biden and Democratic leaders converged at the Capitol on Thursday with speeches, ceremonies and prayer to mark the anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Many Republican allies of former President Trump were outraged in 2021 when the Capitol was attacked. But as Trump's popularity endures, the party's elected leaders now largely overlook Jan. 6.

It's been a year since the deadly attack on the Capitol. And as arrests continue and jail sentences begin for those who committed violent acts there, the narrative surrounding the event has shifted.

"Of all the things that Jan. 6 was, it was definitely not a violent terrorist attack," Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson said in reply to Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.

Biden blasted former President Donald Trump in an address from the U.S. Capitol on the anniversary of the insurrection.

Six Montana residents have been charged with participating in the Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021.
