Convicted Insurrectionist Jason Riddle withdraws U.S. Rep candidacy campaign; now endorses Keene NH Mayor George Hansel

(The following statement was posted on Jason Riddle’s Facebook page earlier this evening, Tuesday, 6/7/22, at approximately 10:30 p.m.)

A quick update from my fenced in country club (the only thing this place is missing is a swimming pool!):

Sadly, I will be withdrawing from the Congressional race for New Hampshire’s 2nd District. George Hansel, the present mayor of Keene, has announced he will be throwing his hat into the ring, virtually annihilating any chance I had for victory. As such, I believe continuing to run would be fruitless and detract votes from Mayor Hansel. I believe having Mayor Hansel elected into Congress will be very good for the community.

Mayor Hansel is a successful Republican politician in a mostly democratic town. He has what it takes to beat Kuster!

Is Riddle planning to author a book on his “Insurrection” experience ?

(The following blurb was posted in response on Riddle’s Facebook page by somebody just minutes after he posted the aforementioned.)

Mr. Riddle, is there any truth to the rumor that you’re currently writing a Book during your Prison stay on your entire “Insurrection” experience, which, if successful, would make YOU the ONLY “Convicted” Insurrectionist to author a Book on that very “Deadly” January 6th (2021) event in Washington D.C. ?

Who would be the BEST U.S. Representative coming out of Keene NH — Mayor George Hansel, or Insurrectionist Jason Riddle? Both are Republican, mid 30-something, vying to become the next U.S. Congressman in New Hampshire’s 2nd District (NH-2) to hopefully replace lame duck incumbent Democrat Ann Kuster, and lastly, apparently have the same amount of intellect and eloquence. I can’t wait to see these two on the same Debate stage battling each other!

(The following was published as a, ‘Letter to the Editor’ in the Keene (NH) Sentinel on May 12, 2022. This commentary was submitted by Keene resident Jason Riddle, who’s a 2022 Republican candidate for U.S. Representative in New Hampshire’s 2nd District, NH-2. Mr. Riddle’s letter is in response to a campaign fundraiser emailed out by U.S. Congresswoman Ann Kuster, NH-2, two days earlier on May 10, which Ms. Kuster cited Riddle’s involvement with last year’s January 6th Insurrection, along with the 90-day Prison sentence that he will soon serve. I can only assume that the ‘Note’ published at the bottom of this Letter was authored by one of the Editors from the Keene Sentinel.)

Why would I apologize for Annie Kuster’s actions?, by Jason Riddle

Annie Kuster’s campaign team sent out an email in response to my latest letter to The Sentinel (“I hope the insurrection does better next time,” April 26). In their attempt to solicit more campaign contributions they claim that I showed no remorse for my crimes.

My only question is why would I apologize for a riot she started? It was Annie Kuster and her cronies who stole the 2020 election. She forcibly closed down New Hampshire businesses, schools, and barred families from gathering. She forced us to wear masks and worse, she wants to mandate our health care.

Now, magically, Annie is pretending she never committed these egregious injustices. She distracts her followers from their diminishing freedoms by pandering to their feelings over Roe vs. Wade. I might be an insurrectionist, but at least I’m not a baby-killing election thief.

I will be residing in the minimum-security facility know as Devens FMC in Ayer, Mass. Feel free to write me; we have a lot of work to do. It’s time for Annie Kuster’s last stand, and I’m Chief Crazy Horse.

(Note: As a would-be candidate for Congress ought to know, that body had no role in the state executive actions that closed schools and businesses during the height of the pandemic, nor has it ever barred families from gathering.)

U.S Rep Ann Kuster, NH-2

I’m writing in response to Congresswoman Ann Kuster’s campaign fundraiser email, sent out on May 10th, titled, “Insurrectionists for Congress”.

Simply put, U.S. Rep Kuster is publicly calling out Republican Congressional candidate Jason Riddle, who was recently sentenced in Federal court for his actions in last year’s January 6th Insurrection. Specifically, Riddle was sentenced to: 90 days in Prison, financial restitution of about $750, and three (3) years of monthly Probation immediately following the Prison sentence. Since that Sentencing hearing, Mr. Riddle happened to write a, Letter to the Editor, which he submitted to several local publications basically stating, he hopes the next Insurrection does better next time around.

For those unfamiliar with Riddle’s circumstances from January 6th of last year, which earned him an arrest and a Sentencing hearing in Federal court about a month ago, Riddle walked into a Senator’s office while things were getting a little chaotic on the main lobby floor of the Capitol (Congress) building, Riddle proceeded to take a bottle from a Wine rack that was in the office and poured himself a glass. He then pulled out his iPhone and took Selfie photos of himself while drinking the Wine with iconic scenes of the Capitol building in the background. Oh yeah, and then when Riddle was finished with that Wine, he swiped a leather-bound book titled, ‘Senate Procedures(from the same office) and wound up selling it on eBay for about $50.

So now we’ve got Congresswoman Kuster all ‘bent out of shape’ because Riddle has NOT shown any “Remorse” for his actions and therefore the wonderful Voters of New Hampshire’s Second Congressional District should proceed to send a Boatload of Money to HER campaign to ensure that she remains our Congresswoman at least for the foreseeable future.

Funny thing though, in the 2016 Presidential election, Hillary Clinton claimed then (and still claims it today) that the Election was STOLEN from her. In 2018, Stacey Abrams, claimed she won the 2018 Georgia Governor’s race (even though she lost) and that it was STOLEN from her. The January 6th Insurrection was allegedly a protest by Donald Trump supporters against Joe Bidden supposedly winding up with 81 million votes in the 2020 Presidential election (so why don’t those Trump supporters have the same Rights as Secretary Clinton, or Ms. Abrams when it comes to Protesting an Election, or not being “Remorseful”?).

Getting back to Congresswoman Kuster, why aren’t Secretary Clinton and Ms. Abrams in Prison right now for NOT being “Remorseful” and publicly admitting that they lost their last Elections, fair and square???  In her email, Kuster states,…he (Riddle) defends the violence of the January 6th attack…, REALLY ANN??? Can YOU please explain to us all “WHY” the ONLY killing from the Jan. 6th Insurrection (Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd on his shooting against Ashli Babbitt) has NEVER been publicly addressed before a hearing?

Lastly, as a U.S. Congresswoman, Ms. Kuster has tremendous power to try to change the Law for her Constituents if she or they are not happy with it. For example, why not make it an automatic, ‘Death Penalty’ offense on anyone initiating an “Insurrection” act on a Government facility? I guess the problem here with Ms. Kuster and all her Democrat ilk trying to propose something like this is, what, if anything is the difference between the Jan. 6th attack on the Capitol building or the current protests taking place in front of the residences of our Conservative Supreme Court Justices? I mean, to ask which of these two scenarios is worse, is sort of like asking, which smells worse: cow manure or horse manure?

And, oh yeah, as a Constituent of Congresswoman Kuster, is Jason Riddle’s level of “Remorse”, the absolute biggest fish to fry right now, as in legitimate campaign issues to pursue for the Here and Now? What about trying to lobby President Biden to open up the Keystone Pipeline and give everybody the opportunity to buy affordable gasoline for their vehicles? For the folks that have infants, where can they get an ample supply of Baby Formula so their kids won’t starve to death? When is the price of just about anything coming down? Have there been any illegal aliens flown to NH to reside here since Biden was inaugurated? Since Biden has been inaugurated, has any NH residents overdosed on Fentanyl? Are there any plans to better moderate our Southern Border?

Finally, I sure hope everyone reading this makes it a definite point to vote both in the Primary Election on Sept.13th, and then in the Midterm election on Nov. 8th.
