A former lawmaker who was jailed for rioting at the Capitol posted a photo of President Joe Biden and other Democrats being lynched at a Christmas tree.
Derrick Evans resigned from the West Virginia House of Representatives in disgrace after being arrested for livestreaming himself during the insurrection on January 6, 2021.
Although Evans admitted he brought shame on his family when he was jailed for three months, he has since shown no remorse and declared his candidacy for Congress.
Evans posted the disturbing photo on Christmas morning with the simple caption “Merry Christmas” before deleting it hours later.

Biden, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Hilary Clinton and Biden's chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci were made into tiny decorations hung with nooses.
Worse, the shocking demonstration also saw the likes of Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Barack Obama lynched.
A sideways miniature of Donald Trump, not hung by the neck, raised his arm in approval.
Evans deleted the post and changed his Twitter username, but not before it was copied hundreds of times on social media.
“I have made it very clear that I do NOT support violence. 'Have a Merry Christmas, you dirty animals!' he wrote in another post with a reference to Home Alone.
In another post he emphasized: “Not my tree.” Not my jewelry. Not in terms of taste. NO call for violence.
“I shouldn't have used a day to celebrate the birth of Jesus for anything political (neither good taste nor bad taste). Let us celebrate this time with our families in love and peace.”

But just three hours later, he continued his incessant political rants, frequently claiming that asylum seekers are “invading” the United States.
“I hope everyone spends a few minutes this Christmas remembering the American families displaced by illegal immigrants,” he wrote.
“Our southern border is literally being invaded.”
Evans claimed last week that the immigrants were not fleeing deadly conflict and economic disaster but were planning to take over the country by force.
“Millions of military-age men did not come here to seek asylum. “We must prepare for a possible war on American soil,” he wrote.
In another “tasteless” post from Evans on Christmas morning, a naked Hunter Biden, his genitals covered by a crack pipe, was photoshopped into an image of the president and first lady with the caption “Merry Christmas from the Bidens (sic).” .
Evans spent three months in prison last year and calls himself a “political prisoner” because he claims the Capitol insurrection was legal.
“Please remember my fellow January 6th patriots today. “I'm happy to be out of prison and home with my family, but others aren't so lucky,” he wrote Monday.
“It's hard in prison in general, but it's much harder on vacation. “So many families are being hurt by this illegitimate Biden regime.”

Another post on Christmas Eve said: “I'm home with my family instead of being held hostage as a peaceful political prisoner of January 6th.”
“Trump was the president.” It is impossible to commit an “insurrection” against yourself.”
Evans spent the past year reveling in his celebrity despite being on parole until 2025 and launched his run for Congress on January 6, 2023.
When he faced an even longer sentence before a judge last June, he sang a remarkably different tune.
“I will always remember that I made a crucial mistake.” “I let myself down, I let my community down and most of all I let my family down,” he told the court.
He expressed regret that a prison sentence would leave his three children “fatherless for months.”
Evans live-streamed his participation in the Capitol insurrection on social media for an hour, shouting, “Derrick Evans is in the Capitol!”
“Guys, oh my God, I can't even explain what's happening, how amazing it is to see this in person,” he said during the livestream.
“I am in awe. The revolution has begun. The revolution has begun.'

At another point he shouted: “We are taking this country back whether you like it or not!”
“Shame on all of you!” You listen to your liberal mayor and not the constitution… Patriots are no longer silent.
“Patriots will no longer bow to tyranny! Patriots will no longer resign over stolen elections!”
In a now-deleted video that was widely circulated online, Evans noisily entered the crowded entrance to the Capitol building and tried to force his way inside with others.
He shouted along with other Trump supporters and punched a police officer who let them in.
After entering the building, Evans walked around the Capitol Rotunda, pleading with others not to destroy works of art and busts. Some of the pieces were later destroyed.
