A woman shared her story after she and her friend saved a man who jumped into a car with them to escape from a crowd of counter-protesters in Minneapolis.
The man, identified as far-right influencer Jake Lang, who was pardoned by President Trump after allegedly assaulting officers at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, appeared injured as he ran from counter-protesters.
Daye Gottsche said the response online has been positive overall.
“Honestly, I’ve kinda gotten a lot of support overall,” Daye said. “I feel like, you know, obviously this is a bad man, like not someone that we agree with and not someone we want in our state, but us giving him the kind of attention that he got yesterday and us, you know, getting violent and aggressive, is not the answer because that’s what our federal government wants so that they can, you know, put in place the Insurrection Act.”
