In a provocative and heavily criticized act, January 6 participant Jake Lang released a video featuring himself kneeling on the back of another defendant from the Capitol riot. His aim appeared to be undermining scientific consensus surrounding Derek Chauvin’s culpability in the murder of George Floyd. This incident transpired outside a Texas federal facility, where Chauvin is serving over 22 years for Floyd's 2020 murder. Lang, a prominent figure among the pardoned individuals, mistakenly claimed the footage suggested Floyd’s death was due to drug use, rather than Chauvin’s brutal behavior. Critics denounced Lang’s ill-conceived endeavor as trivial and racially insensitive. While briefly kneeling on Phillip Anderson's back, he failed to replicate the nine-minute ordeal endured by Floyd. Commentary highlighted Anderson’s involvement as a troubling reminder of historical subservience, ultimately deeming the act disrespectful to Floyd’s memory.
