MAGA influencer gets max jail sentence for contempt of court

Pardoned Jan. 6 rioter Jake Lang received the maximum 10-day contempt sentence under Tennessee law Thursday after being removed from a bond hearing for Dalton Eatherly, a white livestreamer known as "Chud the Builder" charged with attempted murder, according to NBC News.

Judge H. Reid Poland III ordered Lang removed after he attempted to speak despite being told he had no speaking role.

Eatherly faces charges for shooting a Black disabled veteran outside the Montgomery County Courthouse, CNN reports, and has a history of posting videos using racial slurs against Black people, yet has become a far-right figure, raising over $100,000 for his legal defense in one day.

Lang, a far-right provocateur running for Florida's U.S. Senate seat, was pardoned by President Donald Trump in January 2025 despite serving nearly four years awaiting trial for assaulting police officers with a baseball bat during the Capitol attack. Since his release, he has led anti-Islam rallies and performed Nazi salutes.
