Jake Lang sentenced to 10 days for contempt during bond hearing in Tennessee

Jake Lang, a prominent far-right influencer and Jan.6 rioter, received the maximum 10-day jail sentence for contempt of court in Tennessee after attempting to speak during the bond hearing of Dalton Eatherly, a white livestreamer charged with attempted murder.

Lang, who was pardoned by former President Donald Trump in January 2025 following nearly four years awaiting trial for assaulting police officers with a baseball bat during the Capitol attack, has since been involved in anti-Islam rallies and far-right political activism, including performing Nazi salutes.

Eatherly, the defendant in the bond hearing, faces charges for shooting a Black disabled veteran outside the Montgomery County Courthouse and has a documented history of using racial slurs against Black people.Despite these charges, Eatherly has gained a significant following and raised over $100,000 for his legal defense in a single day.Judge H.Reid Poland III ordered Lang removed from the hearing for attempting to speak without permission.

The case highlights ongoing tensions around far-right activism, public safety, and the legal consequences for individuals involved in politically charged violence.
