Kevin Seefried said he didn't mean the flag as a racist provocation and is ashamed of his part in the riot.

On Thursday, the man who brandished that flag during the Capitol riot, drywall installer Kevin Seefried, was sentenced to three years in prison for his actions.

“I never meant to send a message of hate,” he said in court. He apologized to the officers, saying he was “deeply sorry for my part in Jan. 6, 2021.” “I wish that I had stepped up and put a stop to this idea,” Stephanie Seefried wrote in a letter to the court before her son’s sentencing. “But I did not.”

The father and son climbed over a wall of the Capitol to a lightly protected landing on the Senate side, where rioters were smashing the windows. They climbed through, among the first to enter the building and confront police inside.The elder Seefried jabbed repeatedly at Goodman with the flag and chased him up a flight of stairs, according to the trial testimony. Goodman said Seefried refused to leave and demanded to know where the lawmakers were.
