A federal judge sentenced a January 6 rioter to over five years in prison, the longest sentence yet linked to the U.S. Capitol insurrection. Robert Palmer attacked police officers with a fire extinguisher, a plank and a long pole during the assault on the Capitol. He was seen on video on the frontlines of the mob violence and cheering on his fellow rioters, while wearing a “Florida for Trump” hat and a jacket that looked like a U.S. flag.
